Senior Data Collection Operator

Genesis AI; San Francisco (CA); In loco; USD 90.000 - 150.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Genesis is seeking an experienced hands-on operator to teleoperate robotic systems and develop task setups on the floor. You will work closely with model engineering and research teams to turn data requests into real demonstrations and maintain high-quality benchmarks on the floor.

This role demands dexterity, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to lift up to 50 lbs. You will help shape on-the-ground processes while advancing our general-purpose robotics mission.

Competenze

• Experience operating robotics or embodied-AI systems at a real quality bar.
• Ability to design task setups, props, and SOPs from rough asks.
• Strong collaboration with research and model engineering teams.
• Excellent attention to detail and physical stamina (lift up to 50 lbs).

Mansioni

• Create the best data on the floor and demonstrate tasks that train the model.
• Set up tasks from scratch with props, environment, and SOP; prepare collection.
• Translate data requests into demonstrations and give feedback to researchers.
• Anchor the floor and set the bar for newer operators to emulate.
• Support reliability testing with the team on real-robot setups.
• Own your work, accept feedback, and continuously raise standards.

ABOUT GENESIS

We are a full-stack general-purpose robot company, born across San Francisco and Paris and bound by a single mission: to make general-purpose robots a reality, unlocking infinite physical labor for the world and freeing people for creativity, exploration, and the pursuits they love for their own sake.

We are French and American by birth and global by nature. We are backed by partners who share our vision, including Eclipse, Khosla Ventures, Bpifrance, and HSG, alongside Eric Schmidt, Xavier Niel, Daniela Rus, and Vladlen Koltun. Our people work across the Bay Area and Europe, building the engine that will teach robots to do real work in the real world. We recently unveiled Eno, our wheeled, dexterous robot powered by our GENE foundation model, and we are starting to put it to work with real customers.

THE ROLE

General-purpose robots learn from real, dexterous human work, the kind of data that does not exist on the internet.

This is not a button-pushing job. You will wear our gloves and cameras, teleoperate our hardware, and, just as importantly, stand up new tasks from scratch: design the setup, the props, and the procedure, then run it to the quality bar. You will work shoulder to shoulder with our model engineering and research teams, turning their data requests into real demonstrations and feeding what you learn on the floor back to them. You will anchor the floor and set the bar the rest of the team grows toward. This is hands‑on, high‑craft work for an experienced operator who wants to be at the absolute front line of the mission.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Create the best data on the floor. Run tasks to the acceptance bar and produce the demonstrations the model learns the most from.


• Set up tasks from scratch. Take a rough ask and design the task setup, props, environment, and SOP, then get it collection-ready fast.


• Work with research and model engineering. Translate their data requests into demonstrations, and feed your observations from the floor back so the next request is sharper.


• Set the standard. Anchor the floor and show newer operators what great looks like, in craft and in consistency.


• Support reliability testing. Partner with the reliability team to run real‑robot testing when they need the floor.


• Own your quality. Review your own work, take direct feedback, and keep raising the bar.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• You have done this at a robotics or embodied‑AI operation. You have collected and teleoperated at a real quality bar, fast and precise. There is a small world of operators who do this work at the frontier. If you are one of them, we want to talk.


• You build tasks, not just run them. You can take a vague request and stand up a clean, repeatable task from scratch.


• Comfortable with research and engineering teams. You have worked alongside model or research teams and can turn their requests into data and their data into feedback.


• Exceptional attention to detail. You do it right every time, and you notice the moment something is off.


• Comfortable on your feet. You can stand and work with the hardware for a full shift, and lift up to 50 lbs to stage environments and support the gear.


• Technically handy. Comfortable with Linux, Python scripting to automate, and hardware assembly and troubleshooting.


• Bonus: reliability testing. You have partnered with a reliability or test team to run real‑robot testing. A strong plus, not a requirement.

HOW WE WORK

We are always looking for people who are driven to work on hard problems and want to shape what the world will look like in ten years.

A few of the values that guide us:

• Limitless ambition. We hold ourselves to the highest bar in everything we build.


• Relentless urgency. Iterate faster, learn faster. Time is the denominator.


• Type‑2 Fun. Take the work seriously, not yourself. Embrace the grind and find joy in the struggle.


• Radical transparency. Candid communication builds trust, and direct feedback drives growth.


• Multiculturalism. We come from across the world. Be curious. Meet people on their terms.


• Team over ego. Help others, share context, and win as a team.


• A joyful journey. We take pride in the craft, enjoy the ride, and make space to laugh. Happiness is part of how we get there.
