Data Collection Supervisor
Job description
We are on a mission to empower and inspire mankind to accomplish legendary feats by inventing robots that liberate us from the menial. We will accomplish this by training robot AGI to invent and build the Autonomous Supply Chain – everything from the inside of factories and warehouses to your front door – powered by generalist superhumanoids.
Our founding team comes from the AI labs at Stanford and Carnegie Mellon and our board of directors include famed robotics and AI legends including Fei-Fei Li (Chief Scientist of AI at Google and Director of Stanford’s AI Lab), Marc Raibert (founder of Boston Dynamics), and Sebastian Thrun (founder of GoogleX, Waymo;
Job responsibilities
- Run your shift end to end: coverage, attendance, breaks, task assignments, and clean handoffs to the next shift.
- Coach operators against quality scorecards within 24 hours of receiving them — side-by-side on the floor, not over email — and run re-certifications when someone drifts below the bar.
- Deliver onboarding training reps that get new operators to the certification bar quickly, and give honest pass/fail input on working interviews and ramp cohorts.
- Own first-line performance management: recognize strong work daily, address issues directly, and escalate to your Data Collection Manager when a pattern needs more than coaching.
- Coordinate with on-site technicians to keep rigs running — triage issues fast, minimize downtime, and log what broke and why.
- Report your shift's numbers daily: accepted episodes per operator-hour, rig uptime, attendance, and blockers.
- Enforce safety and data-handling procedures without exception.
- Feed what you learn upward: shift-level fixes that work become site playbook, and site playbook becomes how we launch the next location.
Job requirements
- 2+ years leading frontline hourly teams — as a shift lead, line lead, crew lead, or supervisor — in warehouse, fulfillment, manufacturing, production, food service at scale, or comparable hands-on operations.
- Experience coaching people to a measurable standard, and evidence you've made individuals visibly better at their jobs.
- Comfort with direct performance conversations — early, specific, and in person.
- Reliability that sets the tone: your team's attendance culture starts with yours, and shift flexibility (including evenings) is part of the job.
- Sharp attention to detail — this is precision work, and small deviations compound into bad training data.
- Able to work in person at your assigned collection site.
- Alignment with Nimble's values: relentlessly resourceful, humble, dependable, and committed to legendary impact.
- Experience in robotics, AV, motion capture, or AI data collection — or any environment where quality was measured per unit of work.
