• Experience implementing and debugging algorithms on real robot hardware or high‑fidelity simulators, especially NVIDIA Isaac Sim
• Proficiency in Python and working knowledge of C++
• Familiarity with ROS / ROS2 development environments
• Proficient in English both written and verbal
• Must reside in the US and be legally authorized to work in the United States for the duration of the internship or be eligible for a J‑1 working‑student visa

• Experience with sim‑to‑real transfer, domain randomization, or policy adaptation across simulation and real‑world robots
• Hands‑on experience in robotics data collection, curation, and dataset management for learning‑based systems
• Familiarity with egocentric perception or learning methods (e.g., first‑person vision, action‑conditioned representations, sequential decision making from ego‑centric data)
• Experience training or fine‑tuning large‑scale models using real‑world robotic datasets
