Job Title
Founding Research Engineer

Salary
Not Disclosed + Equity

Company Description
Hyphenbox is a YC W25 seed-stage startup building critical data infrastructure for physical AI by transforming raw egocentric video into structured, training-ready datasets for the robotics industry.

Job Description
As Founding Research Engineer, you will lead applied research to automate the processing of egocentric video data for robotics. You'll build the infrastructure for action segmentation, pose estimation, and 3D reconstruction, turning chaotic wrist and head-camera footage into structured datasets that enable world-class model training at scale.

Location
Bangalore, India

Why this role is remarkable
- Join as a founding team member of a YC W25 startup, gaining massive ownership and shaping the technical foundation of physical AI infrastructure.




- Solve the "data bottleneck" in robotics by building automated pipelines for pre-labeling and annotation that currently slow down the entire industry.
- Work in a high-intensity workplace in Bangalore where you bridge the gap between cutting-edge research papers and production-ready robotic vision systems.

What You Will Do
- Develop and deploy applied research models for action segmentation, 2D to 3D reconstruction, and pose estimation using egocentric video streams.
- Optimize Vision Language Models (VLMs) and automated annotation tools to make raw sensor data usable for large-scale robotics training.
- Collaborate directly with the founders to design and build scalable data pipelines that transform how physical AI teams handle video data.

The ideal candidate
- Possesses research-level intelligence with the ability to implement papers into working code within days rather than months.
- Demonstrates a strong background in computer vision,
