Responsibilities

Assist in planning and executing the expansion of data collection scenarios for embodied robots, going deep into the frontline to uncover data collection opportunities in real-world environments such as factories, households, retail, healthcare, and logistics.
Participate in building and operating the data collection "crowdsourcing model," assisting in the management of a diverse supply chain of data collectors (e.g., community residents, freelancers, part-time workers, etc.).
Assist in establishing systems for collector recruitment, training, task dispatching, incentives, and retention to ensure a continuous and stable data supply chain.
Take charge of the day-to-day operations of the entire data collection workflow, including task creation, collection execution, initial quality screening, and data delivery.
Collaborate with product and technical teams to provide feedback on the user experience of crowdsourced collection tools, driving iterative optimization of these tools.
Execute quality control processes to ensure the validity, accuracy, and compliance of the collected data.
Assist in formulating scaling strategies to cover more regions and scenarios, increasing the density and production capacity of the data network.
Identify and resolve common issues in daily operations (such as capacity fluctuations, cost control, collection team activity rates, etc.) to continuously optimize operational efficiency.
Collaborate with the Business Development (BD) team to translate crowdsourced collection capabilities into delivery support for commercialized data products.
Responsible for building, training, and managing a small data operations team on a daily basis (including collection specialists, QA specialists, etc.).
Manage and coordinate external crowdsourced collectors and third-party data service vendors, tracking key performance indicators (KPIs).
Work closely with hardware R&D, algorithm teams, product departments, and the broader BD department to co-define data collection specifications and standards.
Act as the operational interface between clients and R&D teams, precisely understanding requirements to ensure datasets are delivered on time and with high quality.
Assist in managing regional operational budgets, ensuring all data collection and processing activities strictly comply with US data privacy, security, and relevant regulations.
