Robot Teleoperator/Data Collector

Robot Teleoperator/Data Collector Robotic Data is seeking Robot Teleoperator/Data Collectors to support our continued growth across our Human Data, Robotics/Autonomy, Egocentric/Exocentric Data Collection, and Technology Research businesses. As a Teleoperator/Data Collector, you will collect high-quality robot demonstrations by teleoperating robotic manipulators with varying numbers of degrees of freedom (n-DoF), using provided control interfaces and grippers. You may also use handheld robotics data collection tools, such as Universal Manipulation Interface (UMI) grippers, depending on the project. You will perform structured tasks, reset the station, and check recording quality to support robot learning and evaluation. This is a hands-on collection role working with the collection lead and engineering team. Prior robotics experience is helpful but not required; training on each assigned manipulator, handheld tool, control interface, task, recording workflow, and safety procedure will be provided. No engineering degree or programming experience is required.

Work takes place at an onsite robot collection station and may involve extended periods of sitting or standing, repeated controller or handheld tool use, and frequent object resets. Report fatigue or discomfort so the setup or work routine can be reviewed. Teleoperation requires adapting to different degrees of freedom and learning how control inputs translate into manipulator motion. Camera viewpoints, limited depth cues, occlusions, or control delay can make precise manipulation challenging; use the trained technique and escalate persistent problems. Repetitive tasks require sustained attention. Recording problems found late can require recollection, so check samples early and report recurring failures promptly. You must provide consistent demonstrations that follow task instructions, approved variations, and safe operating procedures. You must provide complete, retrievable recordings with accurate run information, outcome labels, and clear notes on failures or invalid attempts. You must provide reliable collection output, prompt issue reporting, and improving quality as feedback is applied. Daily targets and acceptance criteria will be set for each project based on the robot setup, task complexity, and observed collection performance. Required Qualifications And SkillsAge 18+ and MUST be able to reliably commute to San Francisco, CA (on-site client facility); reliable attendance and punctuality is mandatory. Reliable attendance, punctuality, and availability for the confirmed onsite schedule and assignment duration (approx. 4 weeks).Strong attention to detail and the ability to follow technical instructions consistently across repeated attempts. Good hand-eye coordination, manual dexterity, and spatial awareness; comfort learning different manipulator controls and handheld collection tools while monitoring screens and a physical workspace. Basic computer skills: navigating a recording interface, entering run information, reviewing playback, and reporting problems clearly. Ability to maintain concentration during repetitive collection tasks, recognize deviations, and adjust technique in response to feedback. Willingness to follow safety procedures, stop and ask for help when unsure, and handle project data responsibly.

Schedule and Duration: Schedule may vary to all shifts (must be open for consideration). Approximately 4 weeks, with potential for long-term extension
