Job description

Give Our Robots Consciousness

Physical AI can't be trained on internet data alone. Robots need to learn skills in the real world — by observing, interacting with, and operating in real environments. That's the idea behind NEURA Gym: a global network of physical training centers where robots learn industrial tasks/skills directly from experienced human operators/ the people who know these processes inside out.

As a Data Operator Coordinator, you work as a Data Operator with our robots, including the humanoid 4NE1, collecting real-world data for our AI. In addition, as a foreman/team lead, you coordinate a group of up to 8 Data Operators and act as the interface to the Data Operations Group Lead.

What you’ll do as a Data Operator

• You control the robots via teleoperation and carry out real tasks.

• You wear motion-capture equipment and perform predefined movements according to project specifications.

• You carry out structured data collection to produce high-quality training data.

• You set up and calibrate robots and prepare them for tests and demos.

• You work closely with service technicians, AI trainers and engineers, and document your observations.

What you’ll do as a coordinator

• You coordinate your group in day-to-day operations and make sure everyone knows what to do.

• You make sure no robot sits idle and that daily targets are met.

• You are the point of contact for your group and help new colleagues get started.

• You are the interface to the Data Operations Group Lead and pass information on in both directions.

• Share hands-on feedback with our development team and help continuously improve our data collection processes
