Robot Wrangler

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

• 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.
