Robotics AI Specialist
About the Role
As AI moves into the physical world, robots need rich, accurate training data to understand their surroundings and interact with them safely. We're hiring detail-oriented Robotics AI Specialists to help make that possible. You'll review and refine annotations of robotic action videos: watching robots complete tasks, sharpening descriptions of their movements and object interactions, and judging whether each action succeeded. Your work directly shapes the next generation of embodied AI.
This role blends video captioning, annotation, and quality review. You'll need sharp observation, strong spatial reasoning, clear English writing, and sound judgment. We're looking for reliable, committed contributors who pick things up fast, adapt as guidelines evolve, and consistently deliver high-quality work.
No robotics degree or programming experience required. We welcome applicants from robotics, engineering, and computer science, as well as annotation and QA, linguistics, communications, film and media, psychology, and cognitive science.
What You'll Do
- Caption and annotate robot videos, precisely describing objects, actions, and spatial relationships
- Label robot actions, manipulation steps, and grasp outcomes, noting what succeeded, what failed, and why
- Evaluate and rank AI model outputs for accuracy, safety, and physical plausibility
- Provide preference annotations and human feedback (RLHF) to train embodied AI models
- Review peers' annotations against guidelines as part of annotation QA
What You Bring
- Strong English reading and writing skills, with the ability to describe visual events clearly and precisely
- Excellent attention to detail and the patience to review video footage closely
- Strong spatial reasoning, including interpreting directions from the robot's perspective
- The ability to distinguish intended actions, observed results, and broader task goals
- A knack for following detailed guidelines, applying feedback, and maintaining consistent quality
- Comfort learning browser-based annotation tools and working independently
Compensation
Hourly pay is $45-$90/hour, based on experience and qualifications
