Robot Operator

ABOUT AMI We are building a new breed of AI systems that (1) understand the real world, (2) have persistent memory, (3) can reason and plan, and (4) are controllable and safe. We are a team of scientists and engineers building frontier world model-based AI. We combine the scientific rigor of a top-tier research institute with focus on engineering excellence and execution. We are a global company, with offices in Paris, Montreal, New York, and Singapore. Come build the future of AI with us! WHAT YOU'LL DO Model and algorithm evaluation - Arrange objects and scenes in exact, specified configurations so that test runs are comparable. - Launch our algorithms on the robots following written instructions, and watch each run closely. - Record outcomes (success, failure, partial), timings and anything unusual, accurately and consistently. - Reset the scene and repeat across many trials and variations. Data collection - Teleoperate robots through tasks such as picking, placing, sorting, stacking, opening containers, tool use and simple assembly, using leader–follower arms, VR or motion-tracking rigs, gamepads or keyboard interfaces. - Run scripted or programmatic data collection where the robot is driven by code rather than by hand. - Introduce requested variations in objects, positions, lighting and task order while keeping your technique consistent. - Meet daily targets for data volume without compromising quality or safety. Data annotation and review - Review recorded episodes and mark them as successful, failed or invalid and assign rewards. - Label task phases, outcomes and failure reasons using our annotation tools. - Write clear operator notes so researchers understand what happened in each run. Lab operations and safety - Start up, calibrate, inspect, reset and shut down robots, cameras and operator stations using documented procedures. - Spot unusual robot behavior, hardware faults or software issues, stop work when something looks unsafe, and report problems clearly enough for an engineer to reproduce them. - Keep stations, objects and shared spaces organized and inventoried. - Test new tasks, hardware and tools, and suggest improvements to our procedures. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - Strong communication skills - Ability to come up with creative solutions - Meticulous attention to detail and the ability to follow written instructions exactly. - Strong hand–eye coordination, manual dexterity and spatial awareness. - Ability to learn new physical control systems quickly. - Comfort with repetitive, precision-focused work, and the focus to keep quality consistent over a full shift. - Clear written and verbal communication, especially when describing what went wrong. - Basic computer skills: running programs from instructions, using spreadsheets, video review and data-entry tools. - Comfort with a Linux terminal, basic Python, or running scripts. - Sound safety judgment, including the willingness to stop a robot when something looks off. - Reliability and punctuality for scheduled shifts. NICE TO HAVE - Hands-on experience with robot arms, mobile robots or automation equipment. - Basic hardware troubleshooting: cables, cameras, networking, power. - Background in lab, manufacturing, assembly, fulfillment or quality-control work. - Gaming, VR/AR, simulation, motion capture or other controller-based experience. - Data annotation, AI training operations or structured video review. - Comfort with a Linux terminal, basic Python, or running scripts. - An interest in AI and robotics research. This is a full-time, in-office role with a 40-hour workweek. Starting pay is $25 per hour.
