What is the difference between Robot Teleoperation vs Robot Operator?

AspectRobot TeleoperationRobot Operator
CredentialsTypically requires technical training or certifications in robotics or remote systemsOften requires basic technical knowledge or certification in operating machinery
Work EnvironmentRemote control from a command center or control roomOn-site or in-field operation of robots or machinery
Industry UsageUsed in hazardous environments, space, military, or remote explorationUsed in manufacturing, logistics, or construction sites
Search IntentComparison with remote control or teleoperation rolesRelated to manual or semi-automated robot operation

Robot Teleoperation involves remotely controlling robots from a distance, often requiring specialized training and working in remote or hazardous environments. In contrast, a Robot Operator typically manages robots on-site, focusing on manual operation in industrial settings. While both roles involve working with robotic systems, teleoperation emphasizes remote control, whereas robot operation may involve direct interaction with the machinery.

Job description

Company Description

Stealth Mode Company is an early-stage robotics and AI startup building intelligent robotic systems for real-world physical work. The company is developing robot learning systems that combine teleoperation, human demonstration data, perception, and control to help robots perform useful manipulation tasks in complex operational environments.

We are a small, fast-moving team working at the intersection of robotics, AI, data collection, and physical automation. Our systems are designed for practical deployment in high-volume environments where reliability, safety, and repeatability matter. We are looking for hands-on operators who are excited to help train the next generation of robotic systems.


Role Description

This is a temporary, on-site contract position located in the Boston, MA area for a Robotics Teleoperation & Data Collection Operator.

In this role, you will operate robotic systems, grippers, robot arms, or teleoperation interfaces to collect high-quality demonstration data for robot learning and VLA training. You will work directly with robotics engineers during structured data collection sessions, helping perform repeated manipulation tasks such as grasping, moving, sorting, placing, stacking, staging, and resetting objects.

The role requires strong hand-eye coordination, focus, attention to detail, and comfort performing repetitive precision tasks for multi-hour sessions with scheduled breaks. You will also help identify edge cases, failed grasps, awkward motions, interface issues, and other observations that can improve system performance.

This is not a software engineering role, though technical curiosity is a plus. It is a hands-on robot operations role for someone who enjoys working with physical systems, controls, robotics hardware, and real-world data collection.


Qualifications

  • Strong hand-eye coordination and comfort using joysticks, game controllers, VR systems, robot interfaces, simulators, or other precision control tools
  • Ability to perform repetitive hand-control or teleoperation tasks for multi-hour sessions with scheduled breaks
  • High attention to detail and ability to follow engineer-defined protocols, task scripts, and safety procedures exactly
  • Comfort working around robotics hardware, moving equipment, cameras, sensors, grippers, and robot arms
  • Clear communication skills and ability to report bugs, failed grasps, edge cases, unusual robot behavior, fatigue, or unclear instructions
  • Interest in robotics, AI, automation, physical AI, robot learning, or human-in-the-loop data collection
  • Experience with robot teleoperation, robotics labs, drones, VR/game-controller interfaces, AV data collection, QA testing, field robotics, mechatronics, manufacturing, warehouse operations, or technical operations is a plus
  • Experience with robot arms, grippers, ROS, Python, Linux, cameras, calibration, or hardware debugging is a plus
  • Experience collecting data for machine learning, imitation learning, reinforcement learning, computer vision, or robotics datasets is a plus
  • Experience in commercial kitchens, dish handling, warehouse sorting, assembly, fulfillment, or other high-throughput physical environments is a plus, but not required
  • Ability to work professionally on-site in the Boston/Cambridge area, including potential customer or pilot-site environments
