VR Teleoperator (Movement-Based Robotics Role)

VR Teleoperator (Movement-Based Robotics Role)
Operate real-world robotic systems through VR—hands-on, fast-paced, and involving full-body movement.

About the Role
We’re hiring VR teleoperators to control and support robotic systems in real-world environments. This is a hands-on, physically active role involving full-body movement in a virtual reality setup to perform tasks such as navigation, object handling, and system interaction.

What You’ll Do
Operate robotic systems using VR interfaces (headset + controllers etc)
Perform real-time teleoperation tasks including movement, manipulation, and positioning
Follow detailed instructions and standard operating procedures
Monitor system performance and flag issues or edge cases
Support data collection and annotation during operations
Collaborate with team leads to improve workflows and system performance

Role Requirements (Essential Functions)
Ability to safely perform repetitive physical movements including:
standing, walking, bending, squatting, and reaching
Ability to lift and move objects (e.g., up to 25 lbs / 11 kg)
Ability to work in a VR environment for extended periods (with breaks)
Comfortable performing full range of motion activities (upper and lower body)
Ability to maintain situational awareness and attention to detail during active tasks
Ability to follow structured instructions and respond to real-time feedback

Nice to Have
Experience with VR systems (e.g., Meta Quest or similar)
Gaming or simulation experience (console, PC, or VR)
Participation in sports, fitness, dance, or other movement-based activities that build coordination and spatial awareness
Experience in hands-on roles (e.g., campus jobs, warehouse, events, labs, or field work)
Interest in robotics, autonomous systems, or emerging technology
Work Environment
Active, movement-based role (not a desk-only position)
Mix of standing and movement throughout the shift
VR headset use required during operations
Scheduled breaks to support comfort and safety

Compensation
Hourly: $25–$30/hr + performance bonus
Overtime and shift premiums where applicable
AM/PM/Weekend Shifts
Benefits in accordance with California law
