Open Source Robotics Contributor

https://discord.gg/5w2BNaQ6B7FastCrest is building Reflex, an open-source deployment and debugging layer for vision-language-action robot models.Reflex helps robotics builders take VLA policies like pi0, pi0.5, SmolVLA, and GR00T from research checkpoints to real hardware. The goal is to make the annoying parts easier: export, serve, validate, benchmark, trace failures, and run models on edge GPUs.This is an unpaid open-source contributor role, not a paid job or internship. It is for people who want to build in public, contribute to a serious robotics infrastructure repo, and work on real problems in physical AI.Good contribution areas:Add support for new VLA repos and model formatsImprove ONNX / TensorRT export pathsBuild evals for robot policy behaviorAdd Jetson / edge GPU deployment testsWork on failure tracing, replay, and debugging toolsImprove docs, examples, and contributor onboardingExplore ROS2, simulation, and real robot integrationUseful background:PythonPyTorchRobotics, ML, or systems engineeringONNX / TensorRT / CUDA experience is a plus, but not requiredComfort reading papers and turning them into working codeIf you want to contribute, apply with your GitHub, a short note on what part of the stack interests you, and any robotics, ML, systems, or open-source work you have done.Repo: https://github.com/FastCrest/reflex-vlaDiscord: https://discord.gg/5w2BNaQ6B7
