Robot Wrangler

<h3>What you will do</h3><li>Run model tests. Download the latest model from cloud storage. Start test runs from the Linux command line.</li><li>Reset the scene between trials, and record whether each trial succeeded or failed.</li><li>Move files. Copy models onto the robot&amp;#39;s computer. Upload logs, videos, and results to cloud storage (AWS S3<br>or similar).</li><li>Keep people and equipment safe. Watch the robot during every run. Press the emergency stop the moment it<br>does something unexpected.</li><li>Set up and maintain the robots. Stage equipment before each session. Power robots on and off, check cables<br>and cameras, and run basic calibration steps.</li><li>Keep records current. Log each session. Update our written procedures when a step changes.</li><h3>How you'll succeed</h3><li>Read the procedure before each session. Ask questions before you start, not during.</li><li>Keep up with procedure changes for the systems you use most.</li><li>Arrive on time, with enough time to set up.</li><li>Keep the lab clean and organized so the data stays accurate.</li><li>Switch tasks quickly when a robot is down. Use downtime for setup, documentation, or other projects.</li><h3>What we're looking for</h3><li>Basic Linux command-line skills: running commands, moving between folders, and copying files between<br>machines.</li><li>Stays alert during repetitive work and reacts quickly when something goes wrong.</li><li>Follows written procedures exactly and notices when a result looks off.</li><li>Clear written communication. You can describe a problem on Slack so an engineer understands it the first time.</li><li>Works independently once trained, and asks questions early when unsure.</li><li>Reliable. We want someone who will stay in this role long term.</li><li>Comfortable standing and moving around the lab for most of the day.</li><li>Able to work on-site in San Francisco full-time.</li><h3>Nice to have</h3><li>Experience collecting robot training data by teleoperation (VR headsets, leader-follower arms, or similar). You<br>may also do this here.</li><li>Familiarity with cloud storage and tools, such as AWS S3 or the AWS command line.</li><li>Can troubleshoot simple hardware and software problems, and write bug reports an engineer can act on.</li><li>Data collection work in robotics, autonomous driving, or AI.</li><li>Past work as a robot operator, lab technician, or hardware test technician.</li><li>Some Python or shell scripting.</li><li>Experience with robot arms or ROS.</li><li>Interest in joining team standups and suggesting ways to make testing and data collection faster.</li>
