The Robotics Operations Engineer at Reality Labs Research will be responsible for owning and scaling the real-robot operations infrastructure. This role involves designing, building, validating, and supporting robotic manipulation stations for data collection and policy deployment. The engineer will work closely with research scientists and policy engineers, acting as a bridge between research concepts and physical robot outcomes. This position is high-impact and requires defining processes and building tools to enhance research efficiency.
