Company description
Neural Motion is building a new infrastructure layer for robotics learning.
Today, robotics data is fragmented across embodiments, formats, and pipelines. This blocks models from learning shared priors and limits scaling.
The goal is to build a universal data pipeline and cross-embodiment representation layer that unifies real-world logs, simulation, and multimodal datasets into a single system.
Role description
Join as a Founding Engineer to build core infrastructure for robotics data at scale.
You will work directly with the founding team to design and build systems that enable knowledge learned in one robot to transfer across many.
This role sits at the intersection of:
Distributed systems
Data infrastructure
Robotics learning
Why this role is interesting
Work on a foundational problem in robotics and physical AI
High ownership as an early engineer
Build systems that directly impact how robots learn at scale
Exposure to both infrastructure and research
What you will do
Build high-throughput data pipelines for robotics datasets
Design distributed systems and microservices
Standardize raw logs into unified representations
Develop cross-embodiment transformation pipelines
Integrate multimodal systems (vision, simulation, etc.)
Enable real ↔ sim pipelines and evaluation systems
Who we’re looking for
Experience with large-scale data systems or distributed systems
OR experience in robotics / embodied AI
Strong backend skills (Python, Go, or similar)
Comfortable in early-stage environments
Strong systems thinking
Compensation
$150,000 – $220,000 base
~1% equity
