Robotics Data Engineer (m/f/d) Data Generation & Curation

The AI Teams at Agile Robots are looking for a Robotics Data Engineer (m/f/d) Data Generation & Curation , who will build the pipeline that records, curates, and prepares multimodal robot datasets for foundation-model training. The pipeline has to run across different robot setups and combine real recordings with synthetic data from simulation. Responsibilities • Multimodal Capture: Build ROS 2 based capture for RGB and RGB-D cameras, wrist cameras, joint encoders, force-torque sensors, and teleoperation signals. • Synchronization: Keep multimodal streams time-aligned through sensor synchronization, calibration, and timestamp integrity checks. • Dataset Health: Define and run health checks that detect dropped frames, sync drift, corrupt frames, and missing modalities. • Dataset Curation: Filter and deduplicate recorded data, maintain dataset metadata, and define train and evaluation splits. • Synthetic Data Integration: Integrate synthetic data generated in simulation into the same datasets and formats as real recordings. • Preprocessing: Build preprocessing that aligns, slices, and inspects recorded episodes into a form that foundation-model training can use directly. • Formats & Release: Design dataset schemas and storage formats, version datasets so experiments can be reproduced, and package them for external release where approved. Essential Skills • Engineering Background: Degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent qualification plus professional experience building comparable data or robotics software systems. • ROS 2 Pipelines: Hands-on experience building sensor recording or data pipelines in ROS 2 with Python. • Sensor Synchronization: Experience synchronizing multiple cameras and sensors, including calibration and handling timestamp drift. • Dataset Schemas: Experience designing schemas and storage layouts for multimodal time-series data, in formats such as Parquet, Zarr, or HDF5. • Camera Pipelines: Working knowledge of camera pipelines and video encoding, and how they affect data size and frame integrity. Beneficial Skills • Dataset Curation: Experience building curation steps for machine learning datasets, such as filtering, deduplication, and split design. • Synthetic Data: Familiarity with combining simulated and real data in one training dataset. • C++ Development: Experience writing C++ for performance-critical capture or driver code. • Robot Learning Datasets: Familiarity with dataset conventions used in robot learning, such as LeRobot. • Teleoperation Data: Experience recording teleoperation data for imitation learning. What we offer • A dynamic high-tech company, combined with financial soundness and world-class investors. • Join an interdisciplinary, international team with 60+ different nationalities in a collaborative work environment. • Lots of development opportunities as we continue to grow. • Challenging tasks and impactful projects alongside experts that enable professional and personal growth. • Corporate Benefits Program covering health, mobility, and learning for 100€ net per month. • Modern office facilities with a rooftop terrace overlooking Munich, free drinks & fruits, and regular company events contribute to a good working environment About us Agile Robots SE is an international high-tech company based in Munich, Germany with a production site in Kaufbeuren and more than 3500 employees worldwide.
