About the role

In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. This opportunity centers around hands-on robotics operation, with a strong emphasis on maintaining and improving robot performance for commercial applications in a dynamic, real-world setting. The engagement will take place onsite in Los Angeles, CA, where contributors work in person to deploy, monitor, and maintain robots in an active environment.

Responsibilities

  • Deploy and operate cutting-edge robots in commercial scenarios, ensuring optimal uptime and consistent performance throughout each project day.
  • Closely observe robots as they perform repetitive tasks, identifying bugs, hardware failures, and performance issues, and accurately documenting each issue in Jira for engineering review.
  • Conduct essential robot maintenance, including systematic bring-up and shutdown procedures, while adhering to prescribed safety protocols for all hardware and teleoperation equipment.
  • Maintain organization of the work area, ensuring all equipment and components are managed properly to facilitate a safe and efficient operational environment.
  • Communicate clear, concise written and verbal reports regarding system status, incidents, and improvements to stakeholders and technical teams.
  • Adapt to evolving operational processes, actively suggesting improvements based on daily hands-on and observational experience with the robots.

Preferred skills

  • Demonstrated fine motor control and meticulous attention to detail in repetitive, hands-on environments.
  • Experience following precise instructions and established protocols in technical or mechanical contexts.
  • Proven ability to remain focused and maintain high standards of quality throughout long periods of physical activity.
  • Basic mechanical aptitude — familiarity with robotics, hardware assembly, or maintenance is a strong asset.
  • Clear, professional written and verbal communication skills; comfort with logging issues in platforms like Jira.
  • Physical stamina to manage full days of standing, moving, and handling equipment weighing up to 50 lbs.
  • Recent academic background or practical exposure to robotics, mechatronics, or related fields preferred, though not required.
