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.
