  • Flag any issues or bugs during collection and share daily feedback with the team
  • Follow proper equipment and robot maintenance procedures, including setup and shutdown
  • Maintain a safe and organized workspace during all operations

Requirements: 

  • Excellent physical coordination, spatial awareness, and focus
  • Stay on your feet for 8+ hours a day and be engaged for extended periods during data collection
  • Master new physical tasks quickly and find the optimal way to perform them
  • Embrace constructive feedback and strive for constant improvement
  • Thrive in a fast paced environment

Bonus Qualifications:

  • Experience working with robots or troubleshooting mechanical systems
  • A passion for helping scale the deployment of learning humanoid robots

This role begins as a six-month fixed-term agreement, with potential for longer-term opportunities depending on your contributions and interests. We’re looking for motivated people who want to support real-world robot development and grow with us.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
