Data Collection Operator

HireArt is helping our client find Data Collection Operators to perform hands-on robotics data collection and produce high-quality demonstration data used to support the development of robotic systems. In this role, you'll perform precise manipulation and motion tasks while using motion-capture and sensor equipment, as well as operate robotic manipulators through teleoperation interfaces.

You'll follow defined protocols, verify that collection equipment is functioning correctly, review collected data for quality, and document issues that may impact data collection. The ideal candidate is reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable performing repetitive, precise physical tasks for extended periods.

You have strong hand-eye coordination, can follow detailed protocols consistently, and are comfortable learning new equipment and workflows in a hands-on robotics environment. As a Data Collection Operator, you'll: Perform assigned manipulation and motion tasks, such as assembling, sorting, packing, and handling everyday objects, while wearing motion-capture or sensor equipment and following defined protocols.

Operate robotic manipulators through teleoperation interfaces, including VR headsets, leader-follower arms, and handheld controllers, to produce demonstration data. Perform daily setup, calibration, and shutdown of assigned collection stations, verifying that sensors, cameras, and rigs are recording properly throughout sessions.

Upload, tag, and validate collected data, identifying and flagging failed, low-quality, or out-of-protocol collection sessions. Document hardware issues, dropped frames, unclear instructions, and other collection problems, and communicate findings clearly to the Shift Lead and engineering team.

Follow established safety procedures, maintain a clean and organized workspace, and participate in protocol reviews and pilot sessions for new tasks.
