Developer Advocate / Research Community Intern

Run paper reading groups around important research directions and major conferences such as ICRA, RSS, and CoRL

Facilitate discussions that go beyond summary and encourage real engagement with the work

Organize hackathons, technical salons, guest talks, and research-driven events

Host smaller, high-quality gatherings such as dinners and community meetups that deepen relationships across the ecosystem

Design programs that make the community feel both intellectually serious and genuinely welcoming

Identify and surface papers, themes, and research directions that matter

Turn technical work into clear, engaging, and accessible community content

Connect emerging ideas from the research community to practical questions in robotics, simulation, data, and deployment

Bring outside perspective and community insight back into the team

Help strengthen relationships with researchers, labs, developers, and collaborators

Contribute to a community that can become a meaningful gathering point within the robotics ecosystem

Deeply interested in robotics, AI, or related technical fields

Excited by new ideas, strong technical conversations, and ambitious builders

Enjoys organizing thoughtful events and bringing the right people together

Has strong taste for what makes a community, discussion, or gathering genuinely valuable

A clear communicator with curiosity, judgment, and follow-through

Self-directed, reliable, and energized by building things from the ground up

Background in robotics, machine learning, computer vision, or a related area

Experience organizing reading groups, workshops, community events, or hackathons

Familiarity with robotics tooling or simulation ecosystems such as: ROS 2, NVIDIA Isaac Sim

Existing connection to technical communities, research groups, or developer ecosystems

Exposure to real-world work across robotics, simulation, data, and evaluation

The opportunity to help shape an emerging research and developer ecosystem in physical AI

Access to a growing network of researchers, engineers, and technical builders

Hands-on experience at the intersection of research, community, and frontier technology

Potential path to a longer-term role

The strongest technical communities are not built through scale alone. They are built through quality, consistency, and the ability to create spaces where talented people genuinely want to participate.

In this role, you will help build that kind of space in robotics and physical AI — one where researchers, engineers, and builders come together not just to attend, but to engage, contribute, and grow.
