Robotics Technician

About the Role

What if your daily routine — making coffee, opening doors, sorting items on a shelf — could directly teach the next generation of AI-powered robots how to interact with the real world? We're looking for Robotics Technicians to capture video recordings of everyday tasks in their home or workspace. Your footage becomes training data that helps robots learn to perceive, navigate, and interact with the physical world around them. No robotics knowledge, no engineering degree, no technical background required — just a camera, a home environment, and the ability to follow clear instructions.

Organization: Alignerr
Type: Hourly Contract
Location: Remote
Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Record video of yourself performing everyday household or workplace tasks — e.g., picking up objects, opening containers, moving through rooms
• Follow detailed recording guidelines covering camera angles, lighting, task sequences, and pacing
• Capture a range of interactions with common objects, surfaces, and environments to create diverse, high-quality training data
• Upload completed recordings and fill out simple metadata forms describing each session
• Maintain consistent quality and accuracy across multiple recording sessions

Qualifications

• Access to a smartphone or camera capable of recording clear, stable video
• Comfortable recording yourself performing tasks in your home or personal workspace
• Able to follow detailed written instructions carefully and consistently
• Reliable internet connection for uploading video files
• Self-motivated and dependable when working independently
• No technical, robotics, or AI background required

Skills

• Experience with video recording, content creation, or media production (nice to have)
• Familiarity with file management or cloud-based upload tools (nice to have)
• Access to a variety of household environments, rooms, or object types (nice to have)

Benefits

• Work on groundbreaking AI robotics projects alongside leading research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — record on your own schedule, from your own space
• Freelance autonomy with clear, structured task-based work
• Contribute to technology that teaches machines to understand the physical world
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new recording projects launch
