As an inaugural engineer at Persona, you will have an incredible opportunity to shape the design of Persona’s humanoid robots, while also helping set the culture of the company. If you’re passionate about cutting-edge technology and want to be part of a world-class team, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re looking for exceptional people who dream big, thrive on challenges, and love seeing their designs come to life. We are primarily interested in candidates who have shipped products in the fields of autonomy, robotics, consumer products, medical devices, automotive, or aerospace. We also value advanced degrees and deep expertise.

What You Will Be Doing

Design and implement advanced, dexterous manipulation algorithms for humanoid robots with high DOF and multi-fingered hands.

Develop and optimize the manipulation pipeline, encompassing perception, grasping, trajectory optimization, motion planning, and control. Tackle complex tasks such as precise grasping, dual-arm manipulation, and in-hand object manipulation.

Implement robust control strategies for precise and dexterous manipulation, including force/motion control and visual/tactile servoing.

Integrate the manipulation pipeline with the humanoid robot’s whole-body controller and contribute to loco-manipulation development.

Develop digital twins of the manipulation scenes for algorithm development. Utilize simulators such as MuJoCo and Isaac Sim.

Conduct rigorous testing in both simulated and real-world environments.

Work closely with the machine learning team to help train and deploy models for advanced manipulation tasks.

Stay informed about the latest research and advancements in manipulation, leveraging both traditional methods and deep learning-based approaches.
