What you will do • Run model tests. Download the latest model from cloud storage. Start test runs from the Linux command line. • Reset the scene between trials, and record whether each trial succeeded or failed. • Move files. Copy models onto the robot's computer. Upload logs, videos, and results to cloud storage (AWS S3 or similar). • Keep people and equipment safe. Watch the robot during every run. Press the emergency stop the moment it does something unexpected. • Set up and maintain the robots. Stage equipment before each session. Power robots on and off, check cables and cameras, and run basic calibration steps. • Keep records current. Log each session. Update our written procedures when a step changes. How you'll succeed • Read the procedure before each session. Ask questions before you start, not during. • Keep up with procedure changes for the systems you use most. • Arrive on time, with enough time to set up. • Keep the lab clean and organized so the data stays accurate. • Switch tasks quickly when a robot is down. Use downtime for setup, documentation, or other projects. What we're looking for • Basic Linux command-line skills: running commands, moving between folders, and copying files between machines. • Stays alert during repetitive work and reacts quickly when something goes wrong. • Follows written procedures exactly and notices when a result looks off. • Clear written communication. You can describe a problem on Slack so an engineer understands it the first time. • Works independently once trained, and asks questions early when unsure. • Reliable. We want someone who will stay in this role long term. • Comfortable standing and moving around the lab for most of the day. • Able to work on-site in San Francisco full-time. Nice to have • Experience collecting robot training data by teleoperation (VR headsets, leader-follower arms, or similar). You may also do this here. • Familiarity with cloud storage and tools, such as AWS S3 or the AWS command line. • Can troubleshoot simple hardware and software problems, and write bug reports an engineer can act on. • Data collection work in robotics, autonomous driving, or AI. • Past work as a robot operator, lab technician, or hardware test technician. • Some Python or shell scripting. • Experience with robot arms or ROS. • Interest in joining team standups and suggesting ways to make testing and data collection faster.
