About Baseline
Open source revolutionised how we write software, but its impact on robotics stays limited due to expensive hardware accessible only to well-funded labs. We run that hardware as shared infrastructure for the broader community, billed only for active compute. For a given task, policies are evaluated under similar conditions, giving researchers common ground for fair comparisons.
In this role you will
- Assemble each station from arms, frames, cameras, and on-station compute into one working rig.
- Bring each station up through calibration and bench tests until a task runs reliably.
- Design and fabricate fixtures, mounts, and reset mechanisms keeping tasks repeatable between runs.
- Track fleet failures (worn parts, loose connectors, drifting cameras) and fold fixes back in.
What we hope you'll bring
- Experience with physical hardware.
- Hands-on experience with wiring, benchwork, and mechanical drawings.
- CAD modelling experience (SolidWorks, Fusion 360) for fixtures, mounts, grippers, etc.
- Python experience to script tests and log sensor data.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every qualification.
Details
- Location: Zurich, on-site 5 days a week.
- Duration: 3-6 months.
