Robotic Trainer Technician (VLA / Robot Learning)

$20 per hour

Sorting Robotics

Job Description

Job Description

We are a Van Nuys robotics company training Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models to run on real hardware. We are looking for a hands-on Robotic Trainer Technician to help us collect data, teleoperate our robots, and stand up the training and evaluation loop that turns demonstrations into working manipulation policies. This is a practical, in-the-lab role: you will spend real hours driving the robot and making the data pipeline reproducible, not just reading papers.

What you'll do:

- Teleoperate and remote-operate our robots to collect demonstration data, with consistent, focused execution over several hours per day

- Train and iterate on VLA policies for manipulation tasks

- Stand up reproducible training and evaluation infrastructure (data capture, logging, eval runs)

- Run repeated trials, label outcomes, and feed results back into the next training iteration

What we're looking for:

- Hands-on experience with ML engineering or research (training and evaluating models, not just using them)

- Comfort with real-hardware robotics and repetitive, precise teleoperation

- Available onsite in Van Nuys

- Reliable, self-directed, and able to keep execution consistent over long sessions

Nice to have:

- Direct experience with VLA models, imitation learning, behavior cloning, or diffusion policies

- Familiarity with ROS, MuJoCo / Isaac Sim, or similar

- A portfolio or examples of real-robot work

Logistics:

Compensation is $20/hr. Hours are variable to start and will ramp up over time as the program scales. This is an onsite role in Van Nuys.
