Robotics Teleoperator
About The Position
The Robotics Teleoperator supports physical AI programs by operating data collection systems through teleoperation tools or guided interfaces. The role generates high-quality real-world data used to train and evaluate AI models. This is hands-on, execution-focused work supporting a robotics data collection pilot using I2RT YAM bimanual robotic arms. Each station is staffed by two people, who carry out assigned teleoperation and human-robot interaction tasks to capture reliable, consistent data. The position is 100% onsite in San Francisco, California, and is scheduled from 7AM to 3PM, five days per week. The engagement lasts six weeks and starts ASAP. Compensation is US$35–36 per hour. Candidates must be authorized to work onsite in the U.S. and able to stand for extended periods during shifts.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience.
- Strong hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness.
- Detail-oriented, reliable, and consistent in repetitive, process-driven work.
- Clear communication and teamwork skills; receptive to coaching and feedback.
- Basic computer skills for simple logging and spreadsheets.
- Must be authorized to work onsite in the U.S.
- Must be able to stand for extended periods during shifts.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with gaming, simulation tools, or technical systems.
- Prior teleoperation, robotics, or lab data collection experience; training is provided.
- 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.
- Ability to quickly learn new software applications.
- Interest in AI, robotics, or emerging technologies.
- Experience working in structured, metrics-driven environments.
Responsibilities
- Operate physical AI data devices, including teleoperating I2RT YAM bimanual robotic arms to execute scripted tasks precisely and follow SOPs.
- Perform scripted human-robot interaction tasks, including gestures and object handovers.
- Follow detailed instructions and documented SOPs, adapt to evolving guidelines, and complete hands-on training consistently.
- Coordinate closely with a station partner to maintain timing, consistency, and safety.
- Capture and validate data; record trial status, notes, and anomalies as directed; promptly flag issues and assist with resets or retries.
- Follow onsite safety, privacy, and data-handling protocols, and provide constructive feedback to improve procedures.
- Support fast iteration cycles as tasks, tools, and priorities evolve.
