Job description
HireArt is helping our client find Robotics Data Collectors to support cutting-edge AI and robotics development by generating high-quality, real-world data.
In this role, you’ll manually control robotic arms using various controllers to perform everyday and industrial tasks, from folding clothes and loading dishwashers to building and stacking cardboard boxes. Your precision, consistency, and attention to detail will directly influence how robots learn to perform these tasks safely and efficiently.
You’ll work closely with engineers and researchers, providing valuable feedback and insights that improve robotic performance and data accuracy.
Who Thrives in This Role
We’re looking for people who are hands-on, process-driven, and detail-oriented, with the patience and focus to do careful, repetitive tasks while meeting the demands of a fast-paced environment.
You don’t need a robotics background! We welcome candidates from all professions and hobbies that involve fine motor skills or precision handwork. If you’re a musician, hairstylist, tattoo artist, gamer, crafter, or model builder, your skills may transfer well to this role.
Available Shifts:
Monday-Friday
