Canine Language Specialist

Job Description

You’ll work closely with our engineering team to help ground our models in real-world behavior. From structured training sessions to experimental communication techniques (e.g. dog buttons, symbolic vocalization training), your work will directly shape how our devices interpret canine communication. You’ll guide the design of training protocols, data collection, and help teach dogs how to speak using structured methods. Must have experience in dog cognition, vocalization, and training techniques. Familiarity with AAC devices or button-based communication systems is required. A scientific mindset with hands-on experience is essential. Must have a dog (ideally one you’ve trained using vocal cues or buttons).
