We build humanoid robots that work alongside people to solve labor shortages and create abundance.

The Role

This is a hands‑on, high impact role where you will operate humanoid robots in R&D environments and, as the technology scales, in customer homes. As a Senior Operator, you will execute at a high level of precision while also elevating team performance, contributing to process improvements, and setting the standard for operational excellence. You’ll follow structured procedures to collect high‑quality data, help annotate and support robot sessions, monitor performance, report issues, and maintain safety and quality. Your work feeds directly into the AI training process and impacts how robots behave in real settings.
