About the role

We are seeking a hands‑on Teleoperations Technician to support robotic teleoperations and data-collection activities. In this role, you will prepare and verify the teleoperations setup, launch the data-collection interface, operate tasks through the teleoperations GUI, and help maintain safe, reliable robot operation throughout each run.

The ideal candidate has practical experience with data teleoperations, robotics operations, lab or industrial automation, or a similar hands‑on technical environment. This is an execution‑focused role: success depends on careful system checks, consistent use of standard procedures, attention to data quality, and immediate response to safety or equipment issues.

What you’ll do

• Inspect the camera system before each teleoperations session, including camera angle, field of view, physical connections, and system availability.


• Verify that the main teleoperations system and connected equipment are ready for operation.


• Use documented commands on Linux system to launch the teleoperations data collection GUI.


• Start tasks through the teleoperations GUI and monitor the robot as it executes the assigned activity.


• Support pick‑and‑place and similar tasks by resetting the scene, repositioning objects or task elements, and rerunning tasks when required.


• Monitor task execution for unexpected robot behavior, system errors, camera issues, or other conditions that could


• Draft observation to the minute details as much as possible about robot observation.


• Use the Fanuc teach pendant to move the robot to a safe, recoverable position and reset the task.


• Record task outcomes, failures, resets, and relevant observations accurately and consistently.


• Escalate recurring hardware, software, connectivity, or safety issues to the appropriate engineering or operations team.


• Follow all site safety requirements, equipment procedures, data‑collection protocols, and shift handoff expectations.

Required qualifications

• Demonstrated hands‑on experience with data teleoperations, robotics operations, robot‑assisted data collection, industrial automation, or a closely related activity.


• Experience working with camera‑based systems and checking hardware connections or system readiness before operation.


• Comfort using Linux command‑line tools and following documented startup and recovery procedures.


• Ability to operate technical software interfaces carefully and consistently while monitoring a physical robotic system.


• Strong safety awareness


• Ability to troubleshoot methodically, stay focused during repetitive task execution, and document issues clearly.


• Ability to communicate clearly with engineers, operators, and shift partners during handoffs and issue escalation.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience starting, hosting, or monitoring Docker containers and services.


• Familiarity with Linux System.


• Experience with Fanuc robots and Fanuc teach pendant.


• Experience with robotic manipulation tasks such as pick‑and‑place.


• Familiarity with basic robot recovery, scene reset, or task replay workflows.


• Experience working in a robotics lab, manufacturing environment, test facility, or other safety‑sensitive technical setting.

Work environment

Teleoperations Technician

This is an on‑site role performed around robotic equipment, cameras, computing systems, and associated test or data‑collection hardware. The schedule is expected to be any eight hours during the 7:00 PM–8:00 AM window.

Candidates must be comfortable working in an operational environment where sustained attention, procedural discipline, and safe interaction with robotic systems are essential.
