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.

- 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.
