Job Description

Job Description

PDS Tech Commercial is partnering with an industry leader in AI robotics, autonomous logistics, and e-commerce fulfillment to hire Robotics Operators to support the training and development of automated robotic systems.

This is a hands‑on, detail‑oriented position ideal for individuals with assembly, warehouse, or entry‑level robotics experience who are comfortable standing for long periods and performing repetitive, precise tasks.

About the Role

Location: San Francisco, CA | Schedule: 8:30am to 5pm | Payrate: $23/hou r

In this role, you will demonstrate real‑world tasks directly to robots by physically performing the work—such as folding cloths or assembling components—while wearing specialized robotic gloves. Your movements generate critical data that helps engineers and developers design, teach, and improve robotic behavior.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Demonstrate physical tasks (e.g., folding, assembling, handling materials) to robotic systems using wearable robotic gloves

  • Perform repetitive assembly‑style tasks with accuracy and consistency to generate high‑quality training data

  • Follow detailed task instructions and procedures to ensure reliable data capture

  • Provide feedback to engineering and development teams regarding task difficulty, motion challenges, or process improvements

  • Maintain focus and attention to detail while completing repetitive motions for extended periods

  • Support a clean, safe, and organized work environment

  • Collaborate with technical and operational teams to support robot learning and optimization

What We’re Looking For

Required Qualifications:

  • 2–3 years of experience in assembly, warehouse operations, manufacturing, or entry‑level robotic/machine operation

  • Comfortable standing for long periods and performing repetitive, hands‑on tasks

  • Demonstrated ability / high comfort level with working well with ambiguous/minimal work instructions

  • Strong attention to detail and ability to follow structured processes

  • Good hand‑eye coordination and manual dexterity

  • Reliable, punctual, and able to work consistently in a controlled environment

Preferred (Not Required):

  • Experience working at a technology or robotics company

  • Familiarity with automated systems, machines, or production environments

Ready to Get Started?

Take the first step toward a future in robotics and automation. If you enjoy hands‑on work, have a strong attention to detail, and want to play a key role in advancing robotic intelligence, we’d love to hear from you!

Apply today and start building the future—one data point at a time.
