Ultra builds industrial AI robots that are working in the real world today. Our robots automate mission-critical warehouse labor end-to-end, starting with e-commerce order packaging. We deploy fast, learn from real production data, and iterate aggressively. We already have a quickly growing number of revenue-generating robots operating in U.S. warehouses, and are now scaling towards thousands of deployments over the next few years. Our mission is simple: build the world's most useful and deployable robot.
WARNING: Robotics is not for the faint of heart. There are no silver bullets here. It is tiresome, unglamorous, and at times brutal work. The only way out is through, and the only way through is treacherous and unknown. Success will require teamwork - so we are building a world-class team to tackle some of the most exciting problems out there. We hope you join us.
High-quality data is foundational to how we improve our robots. Every day, our systems perform a wide range of industrial tasks, generating large volumes of teleoperation, annotation, and performance data. We are looking for a Data Operations Associate to help ensure that this data is accurate, consistent, and useful for training better robot policies.
This role is split between data quality assurance and pilot operations. Roughly half of your time will be spent reviewing robot task data and annotations, identifying quality issues, providing clear feedback to annotators, and helping improve the guidelines and processes used to produce high-quality datasets. The other half will focus on teleoperation operations: observing pilots as they learn new tasks, evaluating their performance, and providing coaching and feedback that helps them operate robots more safely, consistently, and effectively.
This is a hands-on role for someone who is highly attentive, operationally rigorous, and excited to develop a deep understanding of how robot behavior, human performance, and data quality fit together. You will work closely with our Autonomy and Operations teams, and your work will directly affect the quality of the data used to train and evaluate our models.
Experience requirements are flexible. We care more about judgment, attention to detail, communication, and demonstrated ability than a specific number of years.
Within your first several months, you will develop a strong understanding of our robot tasks, annotation standards, and pilot workflows. You will reliably identify data-quality issues, provide feedback that improves annotation accuracy, and help pilots develop better task-execution habits.
Over time, you will help us move from resolving individual mistakes to building systems that prevent those mistakes from recurring. Your work will result in more consistent annotations, better-trained pilots, clearer operating guidelines, and higher-quality robot data for our AI teams.
