Robot DevOps Engineer, Large Behavior Models

At Toyota Research Institute (TRI), we’re on a mission to improve the quality of human life. We’re developing new tools and capabilities to amplify the human experience. To lead this ground-breaking shift in mobility, we’ve built an extraordinary team in Automated Driving, Energy & Materials, Human-Centered AI, Human-Interactive Driving, Large Behavior Models, and Robotics. The Mission Make general-purpose robots a reality. The Challenge We envision a future where robots assist with household chores and cooking, aid the older population in maintaining their independence, and enable people to spend more time on the activities they enjoy most. To achieve this, robots need to be able to operate reliably in messy, unstructured environments. Our mission is to answer the question “What will it take to create truly general-purpose robots that can accomplish a wide variety of tasks in settings like human homes with minimal human supervision?”. We believe that the answer lies in cultivating large-scale datasets of physical interaction from a variety of sources and building on the latest advances in machine learning to learn general-purpose robot behaviors from this data. Robotics The mission of TRI Robotics is to invent and prove new robotic capabilities required to enable home robots to solve the challenges faced by an aging society. As part of that mission, we are developing a sophisticated suite of open source robotics software called Drake (https://drake.mit.edu (https://drake.mit.edu/)), for use in our internal robotics projects and the wider community of advanced robotics researchers. The Team Join Toyota Research Institute’s LBM-C division to change the world by creating and shipping useful general-purpose AI-driven robots. You will play a crucial role in enabling the efficient and secure deployment of our innovative robotic technology to customers worldwide. The Opportunity You will bridge high-velocity software development with robust deployment infrastructure, leading the entire pipeline from code to robots in the field. As the DevOps owner, you'll maintain CI/CD systems, build infrastructure, and development workflows while serving as repository owner and maintainer. You'll architect and be responsible for remote update systems for fleet-wide deployments, handle system administration for robots at customer sites, and ensure information security and compliance within enterprise environments.
