Job description
HireArt is helping our client find Robotics Field Pilots to operate next-generation robotic arms across both stationary and mobile platforms using computer-based interfaces. You’ll guide robots through real-world tasks while generating high-quality training data for advanced AI systems.
In this role, you’ll work at computer workstations throughout full 8-hour shifts, using a mouse and keyboard to pilot robotic arms with precision, directly controlling their movements in real time. This is not traditional warehouse or manual labor work, nor does it require robotics programming. Instead, it focuses on operating robotic systems through structured tasks in a controlled environment where consistency, accuracy, and attention to detail are essential.
This role may be a good fit for college students balancing classes, working professionals building technical skills, or anyone interested in gaining experience in the technology industry.

- Ability to sit and/or stand for up to 8 hours per day while performing repetitive tasks
- Strong attention to detail with the ability to follow established procedures consistently
- Collaborative mindset with a willingness to contribute ideas that improve processes and team operations
Bonus Qualifications:
- Gaming experience, especially in strategy or simulation genres
- Data entry experience
- Quality control experience
- Basic computer troubleshooting skills
- Previous robotics experience or familiarity with robotic systems
- Spanish language skills
- Experience working in production or warehouse environments
- Basic Python knowledge (helpful for potential automation opportunities discovered within the role)
- Bachelor’s degree
Benefits:
- Pre-tax commuter benefits
- Employer (HireArt) subsidized Healthcare Benefits
- Flexible Spending Account for healthcare-related costs
- HireArt covers all costs for short- and long-term disability and life insurance
- 401k package
Commitment: This is a full-time, ongoing contract position staffed via HireArt. This position will be onsite and available to candidates who are local to the San Leandro, CA area.
