Senior Data Collection Operator

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Create the best data on the floor. Run tasks to the acceptance bar and produce the demonstrations the model learns the most from.
• Set up tasks from scratch. Take a rough ask and design the task setup, props, environment, and SOP, then get it collection-ready fast.
• Work with research and model engineering. Translate their data requests into demonstrations, and feed your observations from the floor back so the next request is sharper.
• Set the standard. Anchor the floor and show newer operators what great looks like, in craft and in consistency.
• Support reliability testing. Partner with the reliability team to run real-robot testing when they need the floor.
• Own your quality. Review your own work, take direct feedback, and keep raising the bar.

Job requirements

• You have done this at a robotics or embodied-AI operation. You have collected and teleoperated at a real quality bar, fast and precise. There is a small world of operators who do this work at the frontier.
• You build tasks, not just run them. You can take a vague request and stand up a clean, repeatable task from scratch.
• Comfortable with research and engineering teams. You have worked alongside model or research teams and can turn their requests into data and their data into feedback.
• Exceptional attention to detail. You do it right every time, and you notice the moment something is off.
• Comfortable on your feet. You can stand and work with the hardware for a full shift, and lift up to 50 lbs to stage environments and support the gear.
• Technically handy. Comfortable with Linux, Python scripting to automate, and hardware assembly and troubleshooting.
• Bonus: reliability testing. You have partnered with a reliability or test team to run real-robot testing. A strong plus, not a requirement.
