Household Data Specialist for Video Capture

As a Household Data Specialist, you will play a crucial role in training the next generation of personal robotics. Your primary responsibility will be to capture high-quality video demonstrations of everyday household tasks using a UMI gripper, a wearable device designed to mimic a robot''s hand while allowing you to perform tasks naturally. These demonstrations will serve as essential training data, teaching robots how to operate effectively in real home environments.

• 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 enhance 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.

• 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 Argentine household environment (kitchen, living spaces, and common items).
• Ability to upload large video files via stable, high-speed internet from your home environment.
• Comfortable with prolonged use of a VR headset as part of the regular work environment.

• 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.

This is a contract position with remote work based in Argentina. You will be compensated on a pay-per-task basis, with an hourly rate of $15 - $30 for approved data that meets project specifications.

The compensation structure involves payment per hour of approved data during the pilot phase, with potential for an improved rate after calibration, once quality benchmarks are consistently met. Expect approximately 2 hours of review work for every 1 hour of approved data early on, with the ratio typically improving as you become more familiar with the tasks.

We typically fill roles within 48 hours, so we are looking for candidates who are ready to start immediately. If selected, you will begin your first task as soon as you move forward with your application.
