Job Responsibilities:

We’re hiring Teleoperators to support robotics and physical AI programs. In this role, you’ll operate robotic systems (via teleoperation tools or guided interfaces) to generate high-quality real-world data used to train and evaluate AI models.
This is hands-on, execution-focused work. You’ll be working with real hardware in structured environments, following defined scenarios, and helping produce the data that directly shapes how robots learn and perform.

●      Operate robots using teleoperation systems, controllers, or software interfaces

  • Execute structured tasks (e.g., navigation, pick/place, object interaction) across different environments
  • Follow detailed instructions and adapt to evolving guidelines
  • Capture and validate data (video, sensor inputs, task logs) during operation
  • Identify and flag edge cases, failures, or unexpected robot behavior
  • Maintain consistency and accuracy across repeated task runs
  • Partner with onsite teams (engineering, QA, program leads) to improve workflows

●      Support fast iteration cycles as tasks, tools, and priorities evolve

Additional Job Details:

What Good Looks Like

●      High consistency and repeatability across tasks

  • Strong attention to detail and ability to follow structured instructions
  • Comfortable learning new tools and working with physical systems
  • Good judgment in identifying issues and escalating clearly

●      Reliable in fast-paced, changing environments

Basic Qualifications

●      High school diploma or equivalent (Bachelor’s preferred but not required)

  • Experience with gaming, simulation tools, or technical systems is a plus
  • Strong hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness
  • Comfortable using controllers, keyboards, or specialized interfaces for extended periods
  • Ability to follow detailed procedures with high accuracy

●      Clear written and verbal communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

●      Exposure to robotics, autonomous systems, drones, or simulation environments

  • Experience with teleoperation, remote control systems, or QA/testing workflows
  • Familiarity with data collection, logging, or annotation processes
  • Interest in AI, robotics, or emerging technologies

●      Experience working in structured, metrics-driven environments

Work Environment & Physical Requirements

●      Onsite lab environment (robotics lab, warehouse, or simulated real-world setup)

  • Must be able to stand for extended periods during shifts
  • Must be able to occasionally lift and/or move up to 15 lbs
  • Repetitive task execution with a focus on consistency and quality

●      Fast-paced environment with frequent updates to tasks and workflows
