Job Description

VinRobotics, based in Hanoi, Vietnam, is revolutionizing corporate operations with a fleet of autonomous robots addressing labor shortages and challenging tasks. Join our in-office team to help bring our vision of deploying autonomous robots to solve real-world problems.

We are seeking a Robot Teleoperation Engineer to lead the development of advanced teleoperation systems for robots. This role focuses on designing intuitive and robust teleoperation solutions for whole-body manipulation, dexterous control, and seamless integration with autonomy, controls, and testing systems. Your work will directly impact robot operation, data collection, and real-world applications.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build and own the teleoperation system for robot and other robotic platform, including defining the technical roadmap and identifying use cases.

• Evaluate different teleoperation strategies, including motion capture, virtual reality (VR), haptics, and puppeteering-based control, to determine the optimal solutions.

• Design and implement teleoperation systems for whole-body manipulation and dexterous finger control.

• Develop real-time retargeting algorithms to enable intuitive and stable teleoperation.

• Design scalable solutions that integrate seamlessly with autonomy, controls, and testing systems.

• Oversee data collection operations for various applications, including:

  • Collecting human demonstrations for imitation learning.

  • Evaluating prototype robot designs for real-world use cases.

  • Supporting teleoperation for remotely operated robotics teams.

• Apply modern software engineering practices to deliver high-quality, well-tested, real-time software.

Required Qualifications:

• Strong proficiency in C++/Python for real-time systems development.

• Experience in building high-rate VR/haptic teleoperation systems with force feedback for manipulation in real robot environments.

• Solid background in API design, developing reusable and scalable code for cross-team use.

• Ability to thrive in high-paced environments requiring exploration and rapid iteration.

Preferred Qualifications:

• A track record, e.g. publications or proven delivered industry projects, in robot teleoperation development and deployment.

• Experience collecting teleoperation data for imitation learning applications.

• Familiarity with 3D printing for rapid, iterative hardware design.

• Passion for building robots and advancing teleoperation technologies.
