Job Description
Job Title: Household Data Specialist
Job Type: Contractor
Location: Remote, US-based.
Job Summary
Help train the next generation of personal robotics. You'll capture high-quality video demonstrations of everyday household tasks using a UMI gripper — a wearable device that mimics a robot's hand while letting you perform tasks naturally. Your demonstrations become training data that teaches robots how to operate in real homes.
Key Responsibilities:
- Capture and submit high-quality, specification-compliant video demonstrations of everyday household tasks using a UMI gripper wearable device.
- Follow detailed, task-specific instructions to ensure all recordings meet rigorous project standards.
- Review feedback from assigned reviewers and iteratively refine your approach to improve data quality.
- Operate and set up recording equipment and the UMI gripper to accurately mimic real-world hand movements while performing tasks.
- Communicate proactively and clearly with the customer’s project team, both in writing and verbally.
- Maintain a consistent weekly workflow to meet the minimum approved data requirements.
Required Skills and Qualifications:
- Keen attention to detail and demonstrated ability to follow complex specifications precisely.
- Manual dexterity and experience with physical task precision in varied household environments.
- Comfort with operating, wearing, and setting up specialized devices and recording equipment.
- Capacity to incorporate feedback and make iterative improvements to processes and outputs.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including openness to prompt feedback exchanges.
- Reliable access to a fully equipped U.S. household (kitchen, living spaces, and common items).
- Ability to upload large video files via stable, high-speed internet from your home environment.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Genuine curiosity about personal robotics, AI, and emerging technology in home environments.
- Prior experience participating in data collection, usability studies, or similar hands-on projects.
- Patience for repetitive, precision-oriented work and willingness to adapt as project needs evolve.
