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.
