We are looking for a Robotics Engineer focused on teleoperation, robot control, and realtime motion pipelines for humanoid robots. The role focuses on building VR-based, low-latency teleoperation systems that connect human operators to humanoid robots through VR controllers, motion tracking, video streaming, and robot control interfaces. The goal is to enable fluid, natural, and data-rich human-robot interaction while supporting scalable dataset collection for VLA, RL, and imitation learning pipelines. Responsibilities
* Design, implement and iterate teleoperation pipelines for humanoid robots in simulation and in the real world.
* Integrate VR controllers, head-mounted displays, and motion tracking systems, including Oculus / Meta Quest or similar devices.
* Develop realtime motion retargeting pipelines for humanoid control, mapping human motion to robot kinematics, limits, and safety constraints.
* Implement low-latency communication pipelines for synchronized robot commands, sensor feedback, video streams, and motion data.
* Validate teleoperation performance under realistic conditions, including latency, bandwidth limitations, signal variability, and robot safety constraints.
* Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams including: AI / ML engineers, Motion and control engineers, Simulation engineers, Mechanical design team.
* Support VLA, RL, and imitation learning pipelines by enabling high-quality human demonstrations and structured robotics datasets. Requirements
* >2 years experience in robotics, teleoperation or VR / AR systems.
* Ms or Phd in Robotics, Automation, Computer Science, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering or related field.
* Strong Python skills. You can write maintainable code, debug realtime systems, and integrate robotics software components.
* Familiarity with robot control, motion capture, inverse kinematics, optimal control, and motion retargeting.
* Understanding of realtime synchronization, latency, bandwidth, and distributed system debugging.
* Strong ownership mindset with ability to document systems, validate performance, and communicate trade-offs clearly. Experience with:
* Oculus / Meta Quest or similar VR hardware
* Unity / C# for VR or interactive 3D applications
* WebRTC or custom low-latency communication protocols
* Motion capture systems such as OptiTrack, Xsens, or similar
* Dataset collection pipelines for robotics
* Humanoid robots, motion retargeting or whole-body control Additional information
* Contract Type: Full-time
* Smart Working: Available (e.g., 1 day/week, subject to team policy)
* Driving Licence: Required Why Join Oversonic Robotics?
* Contribute to a pioneering company shaping the future of humanoid robotics in Italy.
* Work with cutting-edge technology with real-world impact.
* Collaborate with a passionate and innovative team in a hybrid work environment.
* Join a company committed to sustainability, transparency, and social benefit.
* Enjoy opportunities for professional growth and influence our technological direction. #J-18808-Ljbffr
