Household Data Specialist

Job Title: Household Data Specialist

Job Type: Contractor

Location: Remote, US-based

Job Summary

Help train the next generation of personal robotics. You'll capture high-quality video demonstrations of everyday household tasks using a UMI gripper — a wearable device that mimics a robot's hand while letting you perform tasks naturally. Your demonstrations become training data that teaches robots how to operate in real homes.

Key Responsibilities

• 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 improve 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.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• 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 U.S. household (kitchen, living spaces, and common items).
• Ability to upload large video files via stable, high-speed internet from your home environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• 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.
