Job description
What the role actually is
Fauna is hiring a research scientist to define how robot capabilities are measured, stress-tested, and improved. The listing focuses on evaluation frameworks, data collection protocols, task structures, and human-in-the-loop systems.
The role connects teleoperation, operator-facing interfaces, robot learning, and policy validation. It is less about a single model and more about the research machinery that decides whether a robot behavior is actually ready.
What you would work on
Design evaluation frameworks for real-world robot tasks and behaviors
Define data collection protocols that improve policy learning and validation
Connect teleoperation workflows with scalable robot evaluation systems
Build methods for measuring capability, generalization, and failure modes
What they are asking for
Research experience in robotics, machine learning, experimental systems, or related areas
Ability to analyze experimental and observational data sets
Comfort applying scientific methods to product and business problems
Systems thinking across software, data, operators, and robot behavior
Why this one is worth a look
Evaluation is becoming one of the hard product problems in embodied AI. This role is interesting because it treats measurement, operators, and interfaces as part of the robot learning loop, not as afterthoughts.
