About the Role As a Robot Pilot, you will be at the heart of our mission to make warehouse robots smarter and more efficient. This is not a technical engineering role; instead, you will be working directly with our advanced products to show them how to move. Using Virtual Reality (VR) tools, you will guide and "teach" robots how to pick up and move items with the same care and speed as a human.
In this hands-on role, you will help us build the data that makes our AI smarter. You will spend your time using VR equipment to perform tasks that the robots will then learn from, while also reviewing and labelling data to ensure our systems are as accurate as possible. If you enjoy using new technology and want to see your work directly improve how a robot behaves in the real world, this is a fantastic opportunity to join our Sofia team.
Key Responsibilities
- Operate VR controls to train and guide robots in performing complex tasks with high accuracy.
- Conduct offline annotation of training data to improve and refine AI algorithms.
- Drive continuous improvement in robotic dexterity and efficiency through consistent monitoring.
- Collaborate closely with the engineering team to test and utilise new automation tools.
- Ensure precision and speed in robot guidance to meet warehouse automation standards.
- Share insights and progress with team members to contribute to scalable performance.
- Maintain high quality in data tasks to ensure minimal errors in machine learning models.
- Adapt to evolving technology and processes as robotic capabilities expand.
- Manage and prioritise tasks effectively within a fast-paced technical environment.
- Support the development of a robot picker through large-scale data collection.
What We’re Looking ForEssential
- Strong eye-hand coordination to accurately control VR tools and guide robotic tasks.
- Excellent organisational and time management skills to handle tasks in a fast-paced setting.
