Job description

The work

You will review recorded video sessions of robotic arms carrying out complex industrial tasks. Using project guidelines, you will assess each session, classify observed behavior, and create precise annotations for AI training.

You will use your understanding of machine movement and failure modes to identify likely causes of poor or inefficient operation. You will also document mechanical and control problems, produce consistent technical work, and ask project coordinators to clarify unclear guidelines or video content when needed.

• Review complete video sessions of robotic arms performing industrial tasks.
• Tag, classify, grade, and comment on each session using provided guidelines.
• Identify and categorize mechanical or control problems visible in the footage.
• Interpret robotic movement and likely causes of machine failure or inefficiency.
• Deliver accurate, comprehensive annotations within project standards and timelines.

What it pays and takes

This is a remote, asynchronous contractor role for someone who can work independently and deliver dependable technical annotations. The role is listed as entry level, but it requires professional technical knowledge of mechatronics, robotics, or closely related machinery.

• Pay: $50 to $90 USD per hour.
• Time: 20 or more hours per week.
• Work type: Part-time contract work.
• Location: Remote in the eligible countries specified for this role; the role is not worldwide.
• Language: English.
• Required background: Professional experience in mechatronics engineering or a closely related field.
• Required ability: Interpret robotic movement and diagnose mechanical or control problems in complex machinery.
• Important qualities: Strong attention to detail, accurate technical work, and the ability to work autonomously.
• Helpful experience: Video annotation, data labeling, robotics, industrial automation, AI training, or machine learning projects.

About AI training work
