Robotics Data Trainer

We are looking for Robotics Data Trainer candidates for a project delivered through micro1.

What you'll do

  • Operate a handheld UMI gripper device onsite in a San Francisco lab to perform repetitive manipulation tasks, such as picking up objects, opening containers, and conducting simple household actions across varied objects and environments.
  • Follow detailed, written task instructions and protocols with exactness to ensure consistent and reliable data capture for robot learning models.
  • Reset physical environments between task attempts and verify the quality of each data submission before proceeding to subsequent tasks.
  • Detect and clearly communicate any irregularities (such as hardware malfunctions, unclear instructions, or compromised recordings) to the project lead for prompt resolution.
  • Maintain high levels of accuracy and consistency through extended periods of hands-on, repetitive activity requiring continuous attention to detail and physical stamina.
  • Document observations, report issues, and suggest potential process improvements through both written and verbal channels.
  • Collaborate with project coordinators and fellow contributors to ensure smooth project execution and alignment with collection protocols.

What you need

  • Ability to follow detailed, written task instructions and protocols with exactness.
  • Ability to reset physical environments between task attempts and verify the quality of each data submission.
  • Ability to detect and clearly communicate any irregularities (such as hardware malfunctions, unclear instructions, or compromised recordings) to the project lead.
  • Maintain high levels of accuracy and consistency through extended periods of hands-on, repetitive activity requiring continuous attention to detail and physical stamina.
  • Ability to document observations, report issues, and suggest potential process improvements through both written and verbal channels.
  • Ability to collaborate with project coordinators and fellow contributors.
  • No prior experience in AI is required.

Nice to have

  • Demonstrated ability in tasks requiring fine motor skills, dexterity, and precision handling of objects.
  • Track record of reliability, punctuality, and strong personal accountability in prior professional, academic, or gig-based engagements.
  • Comfort with repetitive, physical tasks and the endurance to remain focused over extended participation windows.
  • Proven attention to detail and the ability to meticulously follow complex, step-by-step instructions without deviation.
  • Ability to quickly learn basic hardware interfaces and troubleshoot minor technical issues as they arise.
  • Clear and effective written and verbal communication skills, especially for flagging issues, submitting observations, and interpreting instructions.
  • Backgrounds in hands-on work (such as warehouse, operations, gaming, gig work, or student projects) are valued.
