We believe massive scale through data-driven machine learning is the key to unlocking these capabilities for the widespread deployment of robots within society. Our team consists of individuals with varying levels of experience and backgrounds, from new graduates to domain experts.

  • Support rigging, retargeting, and motion capture workflows.
  • Work with engineers to integrate animation data into real-time systems and simulations (e.g., Unreal, Unity, Isaac Sim).
  • Prototype motion blending and procedural animation tools.
  • Help debug and optimize animation assets for runtime performance.

Preferred Qualifications
