Data collection: Wear sensor suits to perform repetitive, precise physical movements (walking, lifting, reaching) that guide the robot and generate training data, for up to 8 hours per shift.
SOP adherence: Follow detailed "Ground Truth" movement protocols exactly, with zero deviation, to keep data consistent and high quality.
Equipment care: Help with donning and doffing sensor suits, follow proper setup and shutdown procedures, and promptly report any hardware issues to your Inventory Team Lead.
Feedback & quality: Flag bugs or issues during collection, share daily feedback to improve the process, and work comfortably toward daily data-collection targets.
Safety: Keep a clean, organized workspace and follow ergonomic guidelines to stay safe during repetitive tasks. We want you to speak up early about anything that doesn't feel right.
Requirements:
Able to perform repetitive standing, walking, lifting, reaching, and full-range limb motions required for motion-capture across an 8+ hour shift
Excellent physical coordination, spatial awareness, and sustained focus
Quick to master new physical tasks and find the most efficient way to perform them
Open to constructive feedback and motivated to keep improving
Strong attendance and punctuality; reliable, accountable, and able to work both independently and within a small team
Reliable transportation, and able to travel to different work sites around the Bay Area (locations change regularly)
Comfortable in a fast-paced startup environment with shifting priorities
Legally authorized to work in the US
Bonus Qualifications:
Technical or hands-on background (electronics, mechanical, IT, fabrication, etc.)
Hardware/software troubleshooting experience
