Robot Operator and Technician



Job description

Key Responsibilities

  • Operate robotic arms and grippers through teleoperation systems to perform manipulation tasks such as picking, placing, assembling, sorting, or tool handling
  • Capture synchronized robot-centric data (joint states, sensor feedback, camera feeds, gripper signals) during teleoperation sessions
  • Ensure safety, accuracy, and repeatability across repeated trials and environments
  • Monitor robot behavior and log operational outcomes, anomalies, and recovery data
  • Collaborate with the engineering team to optimize teleoperation latency, control response, and data capture quality
  • Maintain organized metadata logs (object type, tool, environment, success/failure outcome)

Egocentric Data Collection

  • Wear a VR headset to perform diverse real-world tasks (e.g., pick-and-place, open/close containers, use tools, sort, and assemble objects)
  • Capture first-person (egocentric) visual and sensor data for pretraining and multimodal learning
  • Follow task scripts and protocols to ensure consistency across environments and conditions
  • Review and annotate data captured

Robot Maintenance & Lab Support

  • Conduct mechanical and electrical maintenance on robots, robot arms, grippers, and sensors
  • Assist in setting up new robot workcells: mechanical mounting, cabling, calibration, and safety verification
  • Troubleshoot connectivity and hardware issues
  • Keep the workspace organized and ensure compliance with safety standards

Requirements

  • Diploma or above in Mechatronics, Robotics, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience)
  • Hands‑on experience with robotic arms, teleoperation systems, or automation equipment
  • Comfortable working with tools, sensors, and mechanical fixtures
  • Strong hand‑eye coordination, spatial reasoning, and attention to detail
  • Physically capable of performing manual manipulation tasks and wearing a VR headset for extended sessions
  • Methodical, safety‑conscious, and motivated to work in a fast‑paced, experimental environment

Preferred Experience

  • Basic knowledge of ROS / ROS 2, Linux (Ubuntu), and hardware communication (CAN bus, serial, Ethernet)
  • Experience in robot data collection, motion capture, or human‑in‑the‑loop control
  • Familiarity with AI / robotics research pipelines or foundation‑model training
  • Competence in debugging sensors, cameras, or actuator control systems
  • Understanding of synchronization and calibration across multi‑sensor setups
  • Hybrid of lab‑based and onsite workplace operations across industrial, office, and service environments
  • Requires wearing a VR headset for egocentric sessions (a few hours per session)

Why Join Cortex

  • Work directly on the frontier of physical AI — where human action and robotic intelligence converge
  • Your data will train world and robotics foundation models used by leading labs and companies
  • Collaborate with a team of high energy and enthusiastic engineers and roboticists
  • Hands‑on experience with state‑of‑the‑art teleoperation rigs, VR capture systems and multi‑sensor robots
  • Clear growth path into robot operations leadership, integration, or research engineering
