We build humanoid robots that work alongside people to solve labor shortages and create abundance.
The Role
This is a hands‑on role where you will operate humanoid robots in R&D environments and, as the technology scales, in customer homes. You’ll follow structured procedures to collect high‑quality data, help annotate and support robot sessions, monitor performance, report issues, and maintain safety and quality. Your work feeds directly into the AI training process and impacts how robots behave in real settings.
You Will
• Operate humanoid robots following standard operating procedures (SOPs) in lab and, later, residential settings
• Accurately collect data consistent with internal quality standards
• Annotate and label collected data using internal tools to support AI model training
• Support active robot sessions: stage environments, assist in task execution, interact with the robot to ensure smooth operation
• Monitor robot performance; report clear issue logs including timestamps, video/screenshot, and task context
• As systems deploy, provide in‑home support with professionalism and clear communication
• Adhere to all safety guidelines in lab and residential environments
• Maintain clean, clear records of completed workflows and robot/system behaviors
• Work flexible shifts including nights, weekends, and holidays as needed
