Job Summary (List Format): Data Annotator & QA Reviewer – Autonomy & Robotics (Mining)
Key Responsibilities:
- Execute manual data annotation and QA review for perception (video, images, 3D sensor data) and Vision-Language-Action (VLA) tasks.
- Label 2D and 3D spatial data, including video, images, LiDAR, radar, and machine sensor information.
- Annotate mining site entities (e.g., roads, rock piles, vehicles, personnel, equipment) in both 2D and 3D environments.
- Track heavy equipment trajectories, movement, articulation, and orientations using multi-sensor data.
- Fuse and align data from various sensors (visual, GPS, IMU, CAN bus, etc.) for temporal and spatial accuracy.
- Decompose mining operations into granular actions and label tasks, operator/machine intent, and action sequences.
- Model chains of causation by annotating triggers and causal relationships in operational environments.
- Tag and verify expected vs. actual outcomes for mining activities (e.g., load success, slippage, hazard avoidance).
- Conduct rigorous QA audits on annotated data, ensuring high accuracy across challenging mining scenarios (e.g., dust, low visibility, night, underground).
- Audit temporal consistency and semantic correctness in labeled mining datasets.
- Provide structured feedback to annotation teams, update labeling guidelines as new edge cases arise.
Required Skills & Qualifications:
- 1+ year experience in data annotation, labeling, or QA for computer vision, robotics, or autonomous systems.
- Experience working with 3D spatial data (LiDAR, point clouds, depth maps, multi-camera feeds).
- Familiarity with labeling platforms (CVAT, Labelbox, Scale AI, Supervisely, V7, Encord, etc.).
- Ability to break down and annotate complex heavy machinery interactions into structured flows (task → action → intent → causation → outcome).
- Strong 3D spatial visualization skills and attention to detail.
- Domain literacy in mining operations, equipment, and safety terminology.
- Technical aptitude with geospatial formats, sensor logs, and structured metadata (JSON/XML).
Desired/Bonus Skills:
- Background in Mining Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Robotics, Autonomous Vehicles, or Industrial Autonomy.
- Experience with autonomous haulage systems, telemetry logs, or industrial VLA models.
