About the Role

Ami Arroyo Recruiting is seeking a detail-oriented Robotics Data Collection Operator (AI Training) for a short-term project supporting our client's development of artificial intelligence and robotics technology.

In this hands-on role, you'll wear a head-mounted camera and specialized sensor gloves while performing structured, repetitive tasks with everyday objects. Your movements will be captured as training data to help AI systems learn how humans grasp, handle, organize, and interact with physical objects.

This is not a robotics engineering, programming, or remote robot-control position. It's an opportunity for someone who enjoys precise, process-driven work and wants to contribute directly to the development of physical AI technology.

You'll work closely with team leads and operations staff during onsite training, equipment calibration, and ongoing project check-ins, sharing task updates and operational feedback through basic documentation and scheduled communication.

Core Attributes

• Precision & Attention to Detail: You consistently perform hands-on tasks accurately, even when small movements and procedural details matter.

• Consistency & Endurance: You maintain focus and reliable performance throughout repetitive workdays.

• Process Discipline: You follow detailed instructions without unnecessary variation or skipped steps.

• Manual Dexterity: You are comfortable handling and manipulating everyday objects with controlled movements.

• Adaptability to Wearable Technology: You are comfortable wearing head-mounted cameras and sensor gloves for extended periods.

• Dependability & Accountability: You maintain a consistent schedule and document your work accurately.

• Clear Communication: You provide task updates, raise questions, and respond to operational guidance.

Responsibilities

• Wear head-mounted cameras and specialized sensor gloves during assigned demonstrations.

• Execute standardized physical tasks using everyday objects and materials.

• Follow detailed procedural instructions to ensure repeatable, accurate movements.

• Perform repetitive hands-on work while maintaining precision and concentration.

• Support the collection of visual and sensor-based data for AI and robotics training.

• Participate in mandatory onsite onboarding, equipment calibration, and training.

• Track daily task counts, completion records, and project notes.

• Use Google Docs, Google Sheets, and similar tools for basic documentation.

• Report procedural questions, equipment concerns, and inconsistencies.

• Participate in remote check-ins and return to the office when requested.

• Incorporate operational feedback to maintain consistent data quality.

Qualifications for Success

Minimum Requirements:

• Local to San Francisco or the Bay Area with reliable commuting availability.

• Available Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM–4:30 PM Pacific Time.

• Able to attend 100% onsite training during the first week.

• Comfortable wearing a head-mounted camera and sensor gloves throughout extended work sessions.

• Able to perform repetitive, detailed manual tasks for sustained periods.

• Strong attention to detail and ability to follow step-by-step instructions.

• Basic familiarity with Google Docs, Google Sheets, or similar productivity tools.

• Suitable home workspace for potential remote work after training.

• Willingness to return onsite as requested.

• Available for the full four-week contract.

• Authorized to work in the United States without employer visa sponsorship.

• Able to work under a W2 employment arrangement.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in quality inspection, assembly, manufacturing, laboratory support, inventory processing, or similar hands-on work.

• Experience following standard operating procedures.

• Familiarity with wearable technology, cameras, or physical data collection.

• Experience recording task counts and maintaining spreadsheets.

• Interest in artificial intelligence, robotics, or emerging technology.

Compensation & Benefits

• Pay: $28.00 per hour USD.

• Employment Type: Full-time W2 contract.

• Expected Hours: 40 hours per week.

• Duration: Four weeks, with possible extension based on project needs.

• Week 1: Mandatory 100% onsite onboarding, calibration, and training.

• After Week 1: Potential work-from-home transition based on performance, protocol proficiency, and manager approval.

• Onsite Availability: Must return to the San Francisco office as requested.

• Physical Work: Repetitive object handling while wearing head-mounted camera equipment and sensor gloves for extended periods.

• Contract Length: Four weeks, with extension not guaranteed.
