Key Responsibilities
- Robot Teleoperation: Master the remote operation and control of complex robotic systems (using VR headsets, specialized controllers, or haptic devices) to successfully execute diverse, unstructured manipulation and mobility tasks.
- Data Collection & Curation: Execute high-fidelity data collection sessions to capture human-demonstrated behaviors, ensuring clean data pipelines for machine learning and behavioral cloning models.
- Physical Skill Evaluation: Push our robotic platforms to their physical limits, testing and evaluating their dexterity, strength, and adaptability in simulated and real-world environments.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with hardware, software, and AI engineers to provide critical qualitative feedback on robot ergonomics, control latency, and physical limitations.
- Field & Lab Support: Assist with setting up testing environments, managing robot hardware, and documenting edge cases or system failures during operations. Opportunities for travel and client-facing operation roles.
Requirements
- Exceptional Hand-Eye Coordination: Strong spatial awareness, fine motor skills, and rapid reflex capabilities sometimes demonstrated through high-level gaming, RC drone piloting, precision machining, sports, or other complex physical trades.
- Technical Aptitude: Comfort working around complex hardware, basic computer troubleshooting, and interacting with terminal software or basic robotics interfaces.
- Detail-Oriented & Methodical: Ability to follow strict testing protocols and repeatedly execute exact motions or tasks.
- Communication Skills: Strong verbal and written communication skills to articulate subtle physical feedback and edge-case anomalies to engineering teams.
- Adaptability: Excited by a fast-paced startup environment where daily tasks can change based on the team's current development sprint.
What We Offer
- Career Growth: Direct pathways into Test & Evaluation Engineering, operational leadership, or data management.
- Scheduling Flexibility: Open to part-time or full-time configurations (3 to 5 days a week) tailored to your skill development and availability.
- Impactful Role: A firsthand role in training the next generation of industrial, multi-purpose AI robotics.
