About The Position

This is a contractor role for a College Student – AI Robotics Trainer located on-site in a San Francisco lab. The primary responsibility is to operate a handheld UMI gripper device to perform repetitive manipulation tasks. This includes picking up objects, opening containers, and conducting simple household actions across varied objects and environments. The role requires following detailed, written task instructions and protocols exactly to ensure consistent and reliable data capture for robot learning models. Additionally, you will be responsible for resetting physical environments between task attempts, verifying the quality of each data submission, and detecting and communicating any irregularities to the project lead. The position demands high levels of accuracy and consistency through extended periods of hands-on, repetitive activity, requiring continuous attention to detail and physical stamina. You will also document observations, report issues, suggest process improvements, and collaborate with project coordinators and fellow contributors.
