Video Labelling information

What does a video labelling do?

A typical day in Video Labelling involves reviewing video footage, identifying and annotating specific objects or events according to project guidelines, and entering this data into specialized software tools. Team members often collaborate with data scientists, engineers, or quality assurance leads to ensure accuracy and consistency in the annotations. Depending on the project and employer, you may work independently or as part of a larger team, sometimes with set quotas or deadlines. This work is crucial for developing and refining AI and machine learning models, making attention to detail and adherence to standards especially important. Over time, experienced video labelling professionals may progress to quality assurance roles or team leads overseeing larger annotation projects.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in video labelling, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Video Labelling professional, you should have excellent attention to detail, basic computer proficiency, and familiarity with visual content analysis. Knowledge of annotation platforms, video editing software, or AI training tools is often required, and experience with data labelling systems can be beneficial. Strong communication, reliability, and the ability to follow detailed guidelines are important soft skills for this role. These abilities ensure high-quality, consistent data annotation that directly supports machine learning and computer vision projects.

What is a video labelling?

A Video Labelling job involves annotating or tagging objects, actions, or events in video footage to train machine learning models. This process helps AI systems recognize and interpret visual data accurately. Tasks may include drawing bounding boxes, classifying scenes, or adding timestamps for specific events. Video labelling is commonly used in industries like autonomous driving, security surveillance, and content moderation.

Job description

About Mecka AI
Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI. We work with leading robotics companies and AI labs to collect, label, and validate the large-scale, real-world visual and spatial data used to train perception, manipulation, and control systems. Our work sits directly in the loop between raw sensor data, labeling pipelines, and deployed models.
About the Role
We are looking for a highly hands-on and product-oriented Computer Vision & Robotics Navigation Engineer to help us build the internal systems, algorithms, and tools that power our robotics data platform. Because this role involves hands-on testing, debugging, and local prototyping with our custom multi-sensor camera rigs, this is an on-site position based in our New York City office.
In this role, you will be the primary owner responsible for maintaining and improving our numerous SLAM and SfM systems across a variety of devices, including our custom camera rigs and iPhones. You will be deeply involved in the practical side of spatial computing-handling IMU noise modeling, sensor synchronization, and collaborating closely with our hardware team in China to ensure rigorous camera and sensor calibrations.
Beyond your core navigation focus, you will also act as the central hub for general computer vision support throughout the company. If you are passionate about multi-view geometry, enjoy building custom tooling to visualize complex trajectories, care deeply about data quality, and want your work to directly impact real robots-this role is for you.
What You'll Do
  • Own the Navigation Systems: Act as the main engineer responsible for maintaining, optimizing, and improving our multiple SLAM and Structure from Motion (SfM) pipelines.
  • Sensor Calibration & Hardware Collaboration: Define, validate, and troubleshoot rigorous intrinsic and extrinsic calibration requirements for multi-camera setups and IMUs. You will communicate continuously with our hardware team in China-where the physical calibrations take place-while managing the algorithmic challenges of hardware-based SLAM locally, including temporal synchronization, rolling shutter correction, and IMU pre-integration.
  • Cross-Device Optimization: Ensure our spatial computing algorithms run robustly and accurately across a variety of hardware profiles, specifically our custom camera hardware and mobile devices (iOS/iPhone).
  • Company-Wide CV Support: Provide general computer vision expertise and support to various internal teams, assisting with pre- and post-processing, data validation, and automated labeling.
  • Design Internal Tooling: Ship custom tools (like Gradio or Rerun) to visualize images, video, 3D point clouds, and trajectories.
  • Debug & Inspect: Create interactive interfaces that help operations, annotators, and researchers inspect failure cases, understand edge conditions, and identify spatial labeling errors.
What We're Looking For
  • Deep Navigation Expertise: A strong background in 3D computer vision and multi-view geometry, with proven experience building, maintaining, or improving SLAM, VIO, and SfM pipelines.
  • Practical SLAM & Calibration Skills: Deep knowledge of IMU kinematics (noise density, random walk biases) and rigorous camera calibration techniques (checkerboard/AprilTag targets, lens distortion models), with the ability to effectively communicate these technical requirements to cross-border hardware teams.
  • Hardware Familiarity: Experience working with spatial data from diverse hardware sources, such as custom camera rigs and mobile devices (iOS/iPhone).
  • Mathematical Fundamentals: An intuitive grasp of linear algebra, optimization, and the first principles of traditional CV and spatial tracking.
  • Engineering Rigor: A proven track record of software development expertise, consistently delivering high-quality, clean, efficient, and scalable code (especially in C++ and Python).
  • Adaptability: Comfortable iterating with users, bridging communication across time zones, supporting company-wide CV needs, and working alongside noisy, unstructured, real-world sensor data.
Strong Plus
  • Hands-on experience building CV/spatial tooling or apps such as dataset browsers, annotation tools, model debugging dashboards, or Gradio-style demos.
  • Experience with standard calibration and sensor fusion frameworks (e.g., Kalibr).
  • Exposure to ML infrastructure or data pipelines operating at scale.
Tech Stack
  • Python and C++ (Crucial for robust navigation/SLAM pipelines)
  • 3D Vision, Calibration & Optimization libraries (e.g., OpenCV, Ceres Solver, GTSAM, COLMAP, Kalibr)
  • PyTorch and deep learning CV libraries
  • Video and image processing pipelines (FFmpeg, etc.)
  • Internal web tooling and visualization (Rerun)

Note: The exact stack matters less than your ability to build, debug, and ship impactful spatial tools and algorithms.
What Success Looks Like
  • Our custom camera and iPhone SLAM/SfM systems perform reliably and efficiently under your ownership.
  • You establish a seamless feedback loop with the China hardware team, ensuring sensor rigs are tightly calibrated and trajectory estimates remain robust against real-world hardware noise.
  • Internal teams rely on your tools, navigation ground-truth, and general CV support daily.
  • Customers trust Mecka's spatial data because the underlying algorithms and tooling are rock solid.
Who This Role Is Not For
  • Pure research roles with no production ownership.
  • Engineers looking for a remote or hybrid role-this requires physical presence with hardware testing in NYC.
  • Algorithm-only engineers who do not want to engage with the practical realities of hardware calibration, IMU noise, or cross-functional team communication.
Why This Role at Mecka?
  • Direct impact on how real robots are trained and navigate the world.
  • High ownership over core spatial data, multiple navigation systems, and CV support.
  • Close collaboration with leading robotics companies and AI labs.
  • The opportunity to build the multi-modal tooling layer that most teams wish they had.
