Job Responsibilities:

We’re hiring Teleoperators to support robotics and physical AI programs. In this role, you’ll operate robotic systems (via teleoperation tools or guided interfaces) to generate high-quality real-world data used to train and evaluate AI models.
This is hands‑on, execution-focused work. You’ll be working with real hardware in structured environments, following defined scenarios, and helping produce the data that directly shapes how robots learn and perform.

• Operate robots using teleoperation systems, controllers, or software interfaces
  • Execute structured tasks (e.g., navigation, pick/place, object interaction) across different environments
  • Follow detailed instructions and adapt to evolving guidelines
  • Capture and validate data (video, sensor inputs, task logs) during operation
  • Identify and flag edge cases, failures, or unexpected robot behavior
  • Maintain consistency and accuracy across repeated task runs
  • Partner with onsite teams (engineering, QA, program leads) to improve workflows

• Support fast iteration cycles as tasks, tools, and priorities evolve

Additional Job Details:

What Good Looks Like

• High consistency and repeatability across tasks
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to follow structured instructions
  • Comfortable learning new tools and working with physical systems
  • Good judgment in identifying issues and escalating clearly

• Reliable in fast-paced, changing environments

Basic Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent (Bachelor’s preferred but not required)

• Experience with gaming, simulation tools, or technical systems is a plus
• Strong hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness
• Comfortable using controllers, keyboards, or specialized interfaces for extended periods
• Ability to follow detailed procedures with high accuracy

• Clear written and verbal communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• 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
• Interest in AI, robotics, or emerging technologies

• Experience working in structured, metrics-driven environments

Work Environment & Physical Requirements

• Onsite lab environment (robotics lab, warehouse, or simulated real-world setup)

• Must be able to stand for extended periods during shifts
• Must be able to occasionally lift and/or move up to 15 lbs
• Repetitive task execution with a focus on consistency and quality

• Fast-paced environment with frequent updates to tasks and workflows
