Job description

Boston Dynamics is seeking a highly motivated Shift Supervisor to lead safe, day to day execution of second shift data operations. This role requires a dynamic servant leader with experience managing teams in an operations or production environment. In this role you will be solving problems no one has solved before, and you need to be comfortable charting your own path while managing competing priorities and stakeholder relationships. The role requires a unique blend of operational discipline and creative problem solving, along with comfort absorbing and driving change at breakneck speed. The ideal candidate has good intuition on when to be scrappy versus disciplined, is analytical and empathetic, and above all is someone who drives and inspires results in others. The Atlas Data Operations team consists of robot pilots who teleoperate robots and produce data to train Atlas, which is focused on advancing machine learning and manipulation capabilities. Your ideas will change what robots can do!

• Partner across R&D, Fleet Operations, IT, and Building Operations, identifying the resources needed to solve a problem and influencing change to drive results.

Continuous Improvement

• Turn insight into action - gather insights from data, first-hand accounts, and observations, then quickly translate them into action plans you can complete with the resources at your disposal.
• Use data to evaluate how your improvements are working, and be comfortable adjusting plans that aren't working.
• Identify bottlenecks and develop creative solutions to resolve them.
• Drive sustainable results through the design and implementation of durable tools and mechanisms.
