Robot Operator (Immediate Hiring)

Initial 6-month contract with the possibility of contract extension or conversion to a permanent position based on performance and business direction.

Job Description

• Operate robotic arms and grippers through teleoperation systems to perform manipulation tasks such as picking, placing, assembling, sorting, and tool handling.
• Capture synchronized robot-centric data, including joint states, sensor feedback, camera feeds, and gripper signals, during teleoperation sessions.
• Monitor robot performance, ensure safe and accurate operation, and document operational outcomes, anomalies, and recovery data.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to improve teleoperation performance, control responsiveness, and data collection quality.
• Maintain accurate metadata logs for data collection activities, including object types, environments, tools used, and task outcomes.
• Wear a VR headset to perform first-person (egocentric) data collection tasks such as object manipulation, assembly, sorting, and tool usage.
• Follow standardized task procedures to ensure consistency and quality across data collection sessions.
• Review, organize, and annotate captured data for AI training purposes.
• Perform basic mechanical and electrical maintenance on robotic arms, grippers, sensors, and automation equipment.
• Assist with robot workcell setup, including equipment installation, cabling, calibration, safety verification, and troubleshooting.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe laboratory environment while supporting day-to-day robotics operations.

Job Requirements

• No specific educational qualification is required – we welcome candidates from all backgrounds who have the right attitude and willingness to learn.
• Comfortable using a computer and able to learn new software quickly. No coding or programming knowledge is required.
• Meticulous, patient, and detail-oriented with good hand-eye coordination. You should enjoy working carefully rather than rushing through tasks.
• Comfortable operating robots, automated equipment, or controller-based systems. Full training will be provided.
