  • Flag issues or bugs during data collection and share daily feedback with the team
  • Adhere to all safety procedures related to robot and teleoperation equipment
  • Maintain a safe, organized workspace across all operations
  • Support general site upkeep and other hands-on tasks as needed to keep operations running smoothly

Requirements:

  • Willing and able to travel throughout the US
  • Willingness to own the operations of the humanoid and drive proper functioning of the robot
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Excellent physical coordination, spatial awareness, and focus
  • Can stand 8+ hours a day and physically manage humanoid hardware
  • Master new physical tasks quickly and find the optimal way to perform them
  • Demonstrate sustained focus and attention while performing assigned tasks
  • Embrace constructive feedback and strive for constant improvement
  • Thrive in a fast-paced environment
  • Valid driver's license and clean driving record

Bonus Qualifications:

  • Experience working with robots or troubleshooting mechanical systems
  • Experience in a customer-facing role
  • A passion for helping scale the deployment of humanoid robots

The US base hourly rate for this full-time position is $30/hr.
