Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Innodata Inc. is a leading data engineering company that provides AI technology solutions to major technology firms and other industries. The Robotics Solutions Engineer will act as a technical partner to innovative robotics teams, focusing on designing data capture solutions and leading technical pilots to address real-world robotics challenges.
Responsibilities
• Collaborate with Innodata Client Partners to scope and deliver technical pilots and POCs, earning the “technical win” with new and existing robotics customers
• Work closely with Engineering and Product to design and implement robotics data capture solutions (real‑world, lab, and simulation), including sensors/rigs, teleop/UMI flows, and egocentric capture pipelines
• Collaborate directly with customers’ robotics and ML teams to understand their architectures (VLMs, VLAs, ACTs, world models, policies), define data and evaluation requirements, design execution plans, and translate them into actionable Statements of Work
• Design and run customized demos, playbooks, and experimental workflows that showcase robotics data capabilities and shorten the time from idea to production pilot
• Act as the technical owner of the customer experience: unblock integrations, debug data/workflow issues, and advise on best practices for data quality, coverage, and evaluation
• Collaborate closely with Robotics Project Leads to ensure clean handoff from pre‑sales design to delivery, align on scope and success metrics, and support smooth execution of data collection programs
• Bring structured, frontline feedback from customers back into Innodata’s product and roadmap discussions, helping shape a scalable Robotics & Physical AI data practice and platform
• Represent Innodata at key industry events, conferences, and workshops, and contribute as a thought leader through talks, blog posts, and open artifacts that share learnings from our robotics data work
Skills
• Strong engineering background in Robotics, Mechatronics, Computer Science, or a related field
• 3+ years of experience developing with Python and one or more additional languages commonly used in robotics/ML (e.g., C++, Java), plus comfort working in Linux‑based environments
• Hands‑on experience with robotics or Physical AI systems (e.g., perception/control stacks, teleoperation, simulation, or robotics data pipelines)
• Desire to conduct ongoing research and be a thought leader in world models and robotics models
• Excellent presentation and communication skills, with the technical credibility to work with both senior executives and front‑line engineers
• Proven ability to manage complex technical projects, juggle multiple customer engagements, and operate with a strong sense of ownership and attention to detail
• High comfort working cross‑functionally with Sales, Product, Engineering, and Operations in a fast‑moving environment, including some customer travel as needed
• Prior experience in sales engineering, solutions engineering, or technical partnerships for data/AI/robotics products
• Experience selling or supporting complex technical solutions with enterprise customers
• Familiarity with large‑scale dataset design, evaluation frameworks, or robotics data marketplaces
Company Overview
• (NASDAQ: INOD) Innodata is a global data engineering company. We believe that data and AI are inextricably linked. It was founded in 1988, and is headquartered in Hackensack, New Jersey, USA, with a workforce of 5001-10000 employees. Its website is http://www.innodata.com.
