This is a founding-cohort role for a technically minded person who wants to go deep. You'll pilot robots across a growing range of tasks — inspection, grading, and authentication; picking, packing, and sorting; returns processing; and kitting/light-assembly work. Because you'll work hands-on with the robots, workstations, and software that run them, you'll also be the first line of technical problem-solving when something goes wrong. You'll help define what "great teleoperation" looks like while the role and tooling are still being built, and strong performance is a path toward more complex tasks, deployment support, and system testing.
What you'll do
- Pilot robots across a range of evolving, sometimes unscripted tasks
- Detect, troubleshoot, and recover from errors live — on the robot side and the computer side (restarting services, reading logs, checking connections)
- Work in a Linux environment day to day: using the command line, running and adjusting scripts, setting up and maintaining operator workstations
- Collect and annotate data from piloting sessions to support model training
- Evaluate ML model performance and report clear, specific findings back to the engineering team
- Contribute to a shared library of SOPs — turning what you learn piloting each new task into documentation the next operator (and robot) builds on
- Help improve how tasks and workflows are structured, including small scripts or tools that make the operator's job faster
- Work with Claude Code and GitHub as part of the team's day-to-day tooling
Required
- A hands-on technical background — e.g. IT support, help desk, computer or electronics technician,
systems administration, or a technical degree/program — or equivalent self-taught experience
- Basic working knowledge of Linux and the command line
- Some programming or scripting experience, ideally in Python and/or Bash — school projects, personal projects, or automation scripts all count; you don't need to be a software engineer
- Comfort troubleshooting computers and hardware methodically, rather than guessing
- Professional English, spoken and written — you'll work daily with an international team and give precise feedback to engineers
- Full use of both hands/arms; excellent hand-eye coordination and manual dexterity
- A track record of reliable, high-quality output in a role where consistency matters — not just occasional strong performance
- Comfort giving structured, specific feedback on system or robot behavior — you'll be a direct feedback loop into how the tech gets better
- Ability to operate with minimal supervision and good judgment about when to flag something up
- Reliable on-site/hybrid availability, with some flexibility for occasional travel to support current deployments
Nice to have
- Git/GitHub experience
- Networking basics (SSH, IP addressing, Wi-Fi/connectivity troubleshooting)
- Experience with robotics, electronics, 3D printing, or lab/test equipment
- A competitive gaming, esports, or other high-precision skill background — the reflexes carry over directly
No teleoperation or robotics experience required — we'll train you on the robots. What we're looking for is someone who's already comfortable under the hood of a computer.
