  • Integrate stereo video and depth data into Unity-based VR environments, ensuring accurate spatial alignment and responsiveness.
  • Implement sensor fusion and motion filtering to achieve stable, high-fidelity human-to-robot motion mapping.
  • Own the UX design and interaction logic for the VR teleoperation experience — ensuring comfort, precision, and intuitiveness.
  • Build tools for session recording, data annotation, and synchronization to support scalable data-collection workflows.
  • Validate performance under realistic wireless-network conditions (latency, bandwidth, and signal variability).

We’re Looking For:

  • M.S. or Ph.D. in Computer Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, or related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in VR/AR, real-time communication, or interactive 3D application development.
  • Proficiency in C++ and Python, with experience in Unity (C#) or similar VR/AR development environments.
  • Strong understanding of low-latency video and depth streaming, wireless networking, and real-time synchronization.
  • Hands-on experience with VR headsets (e.g., Meta Quest, Vive), motion capture (e.g. OptiTrack), and tracking systems (Xsense suit).
  • Proven ability to design and implement intuitive, high-performance user experiences in immersive environments

What We Offer:

  • Competitive salary plus participation in our Stock Option Plan
