As a Teleoperation Specialist at Saturn Labs, you will play a crucial role in building real-world robotic demonstrations to train Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models and foundation models for general-purpose robotics. Your work will directly impact the training data used by leading robotics AI labs, ensuring the highest quality and diverse datasets for more capable autonomous systems. **Key Responsibilities:** - **High-Precision Teleoperation:** Operate robotic systems (arms, mobile manipulators, and integrated platforms) to collect diverse, complex demonstrations across varied tasks and environments. - **Data Quality Assurance:** Ensure all collected data meets rigorous quality standards, including proper sensor synchronization, motion smoothness, task completion accuracy, and documentation completeness. - **Task Execution & Variation:** Execute multi-step manipulation and navigation tasks with consistency and precision, introducing meaningful task variations to capture diverse behaviors for model training. - **Detailed Documentation:** Maintain comprehensive records of each data collection session, including environmental context, task parameters, execution notes, and any anomalies or challenges encountered. At Saturn Labs, you will have the opportunity to work with state-of-the-art robotic platforms and be at the forefront of robotics hardware and foundation model research. You will collaborate with researchers and engineers who are pushing the boundaries of robot learning, providing continuous exposure to the latest developments in VLA models, robotics, and AI. Join our small, talented team of IIT graduates, ex-Microsoft researchers, and robotics enthusiasts who are dedicated to solving challenging problems in robotics AI. You will be part of a rapidly growing venture with the energy and ownership opportunities of an early-stage startup, where your contributions directly impact the company's direction and success. You can expect a competitive salary based on your experience and role requirements, along with a work environment that values your technical contributions and offers the flexibility to excel in your work.,
