Robot Training Hiring: Openings, Turnover and Eligibility

How it was measured

Every day this site reads the public job boards of the robot training employers and programs it follows. A single database query produces each figure for the window shown, and the live page and every monthly edition run that identical query. The note under each figure gives its base.

Coverage

Which employers and programs RobotTraining.jobs reads in full, board by board, each day. Every figure notes how many boards went into it.

Open role

On a given day, a role that has been posted and still shows in the employer's feed.

New listing

A role seen for the first time during the window, at an employer this site was already following the week before. Whatever an employer has up in its first tracked week is back catalogue and does not count as new.

Removed listing

A role that dropped out of its employer's feed within the window.

Days listed

For a role that came down: the span from its listing date to the final day its feed still showed it.

Kind of work

A role's title and description place it in one of the seven kinds of robot training work this site follows, ranging from robot teleoperation and demonstration collection through egocentric capture, embodied-AI annotation, robot evaluation and fleet operations to AV and drone operation. Each kind has a page of its own.

Listing date

The posting date the employer's job board shows, or, failing that, the first day the role turned up in the feed. A role that came in with an employer's back catalogue and carries no date has no known listing date.

Location rule

Taken from the location text of each listing or, when that text names no country, from what the listing's own description says: worldwide, worldwide with named exceptions, named countries only, or no rule given.

Window

Live page: the 28 most recent full days (UTC). Edition: a single calendar month (UTC).

Limits of this data

• Hiring that happens off public job boards is invisible here, and some data-collection programs sign people up inside an app instead of posting a job.
• A posting does not equal a hire. Certain employers leave evergreen roles up for months, and others post the same role once per city or country.
• When a listing disappears, the role may have been filled, put on hold or cancelled; employers do not say which.
• If one role is posted twice, the copies are merged during the daily read.

Collection and classification of listings are explained on the methodology page. Freshness, completeness and consistency are tested daily in the data quality report.

Monthly editions

The live page spans the 28 most recent full days and updates daily. Every finished month also gets its own edition, locked two days after month end, so a number quoted from it stays fixed.
