The Role
Develop robotics-focused integrations for FiftyOne, support the open source community, and create technical blogs, tutorials, videos, courses, and documentation. Apply computer vision and machine learning to robotics perception, navigation, manipulation, and autonomous systems. Organize and speak at robotics events, collaborate through GitHub and Slack, and work with robotics datasets, multimodal sensor formats, simulation environments, models, and perception frameworks.
Summary Generated by Built In
First and most importantly: our mission is to bring transparency and clarity to the world's data.
Our platform, Voxel51, is where AI work happens. Our enterprise platform is the mission critical linchpin for managing unstructured data, model development, and AI systems at the world's largest companies.
We believe that open source is the way to lead the data-centric AI revolution. FiftyOne, our open source version of Voxel51 has 5 million downloads to-date.
Our software massively impacts AI work across almost every vertical: from self-driving cars to medical imaging to revolutionizing agriculture, we are at the thrilling center of real-world AI advancement’s next wave.
And we’re built on three key tenets:
- We are all human beings: we strive to be a “human-first” organization and treat everyone with the respect, care, and flexibility that all people deserve.
- We are distributed: we believe in getting autonomy and power into the hands of people actually doing the work.
- We believe in the power of community.
We are fully remote, hiring for someone in the United States.
About Your Role
As a Robotics Developer Relations Engineer at Voxel51, you'll work directly in the Voxel51 community — answering technical questions, building integrations with robotics perception stacks, models, and datasets, creating engaging technical content, and helping organize and speak at events (in-person and virtual). This role is ideal for someone who has worked hands-on with robotic systems and wants to help the broader robotics ML community build.
