Teleoperation information
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Teleoperation position, and why are they important?
To thrive in Teleoperation, you need excellent spatial awareness, hand-eye coordination, and proficiency in operating remote-control systems, often supported by relevant technical training or certifications. Familiarity with teleoperation platforms, robotics interfaces, and communication software is typically required. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication help operators adapt to dynamic situations and collaborate with remote teams. These abilities are essential to ensure safe, precise, and reliable remote operation across various industries such as robotics, transportation, and logistics.
What are typical daily responsibilities for someone working in Teleoperation?
A teleoperation professional is primarily responsible for remotely operating vehicles, machinery, or robotic equipment, often monitoring system dashboards and responding to live feedback in real time. Daily tasks may include troubleshooting technical issues, coordinating with on-site teams, following strict safety protocols, and maintaining detailed operational logs. Many positions involve shift work to provide around-the-clock support, especially in sectors such as logistics, mining, or transportation. Collaboration with engineers, maintenance crews, and supervisors is also common to ensure optimal performance and rapid issue resolution. This dynamic environment requires keen attention to detail and the ability to respond calmly to unexpected challenges.
What is a Teleoperation job?
A teleoperation job involves remotely controlling machines, robots, or vehicles in real-time using specialized software and hardware. Operators typically work with autonomous or semi-autonomous systems to ensure they perform tasks accurately and safely. These roles are common in industries like autonomous vehicles, robotics, and industrial automation. Strong technical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to react quickly to changing situations are essential for success in this field.

Job description
Location: Houston, Texas or Pensacola, Florida
Duration: 12-16 weeks
The Mission
At Persona AI, the Teleoperation Team is the bridge between human intuition and artificial intelligence. We aren't just building a remote control; we are building a high-fidelity, low-latency "nervous system" for our humanoid fleet.
As a Teleoperation Intern, you will work across our entire hardware and software stack, integrating firmware, backend infrastructure, retargeting, and XR interfaces. You will solve the "unreliable transport" problem, ensuring our robots move fluidly even when the network doesn't want to cooperate. If you're obsessed with sub-millisecond latency, real-time rendering, and the future of robotics, we want you on the front lines.
What You'll Do
- Architect Immersive Interfaces: Help develop our primary XR application used by operators to control humanoid robots.
- Optimize Data Pipelines: Build and tune low-latency streaming protocols (Rust) that function over real-world WiFi, Wired and bluetooth networks.
- Bridge the Stack: Develop software that interfaces directly with hardware SDKs for robot sensing, motion capture, and control.
- Innovate in XR: Build frontend systems for AR devices (Android/Embedded Linux) using OpenXR and frameworks like StereoKit or Unity.
- Scale and Monitor: Use Python to build test harnesses and automation scripts, ensuring our fleet remains reliable as it grows.
What We're Looking For
- Education: Currently pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related technical field.
- Coding Prowess: Strong fundamentals in Rust and Python. Familiarity with C++ is a plus.
- 3D & Networking Fluency: A solid grasp of 3D geometry (kinematics) and networking basics (TCP/UDP, bandwidth optimization).
- Systems Thinker: Experience working in Linux environments and a passion for navigating complex open-source codebases.
- The "Builder" Mindset: You've built things-whether it's a game in XR, a custom drone, or a contribution to an open-source library.
Bonus Points
- Experience with Unreal Engine (Blueprints/C++) or OpenXR.
- Knowledge of custom shader writing or GPU profiling.
- Familiarity with modern build systems like Nix or Bazel.
- A history of contributing to open-source projects.
We review applications on a rolling basis, so applying early is strongly recommended. Our internships are competitive, and early applicants often have the best chance to be matched with available projects.
Now reviewing applications for:
- Fall 2026 (August-December)
- Spring 2027 (January-May)
