Description
Summary:
This role involves remotely piloting robots when autonomy fails and performing warehouse tasks, offering a real look inside a robotics company.
Highlights:
1. Pilot robots remotely and log interventions for engineering feedback
2. Rotate between remote piloting and on-site warehouse operations
3. Gain direct experience in a robotics company with growth potential
Robotics Teleoperator / Warehouse Operator
Deploy is hiring part-time operators for the fall term. Our robots work in a live warehouse, and when they hit something they can't handle, a person takes over. That's this job.
You'll rotate between two things: remotely piloting robots from a control station when the autonomy stack gets stuck, and working on the floor to stage inventory, reset workcells, and run quality checks. You'll log what went wrong on every intervention, and that feedback goes straight to the engineers who write the software — it's a real look inside a robotics company, not a filing internship.
What you'll do
Pilot robots remotely through tasks they can't complete on their own
Monitor several robots at once and decide which needs attention first
Log interventions clearly so engineering can fix the root cause
Stage inventory, reset workcells after faults, run shift checks
Test new software builds and give specific feedback
What we're looking for
Reliability above everything — you show up on time, every shift
Ownership: when something looks wrong, you say so without being asked
Comfort with a controller and a screen. Serious gaming hours (sim racing, flight sims, competitive FPS) transfer directly to teleoperation
Real curiosity about robotics. No experience required
Clear communication with engineers — describe a problem precisely, take direction, push back with evidence
18+, authorized to work in the U.S., able to lift up to [35] lbs and stand for most of a shift
Details
$21–$25/hour, 20–30 hrs/week, scheduled around your classes
Onsite at San Mateo, CA — no remote option
Mid-September through mid-December 2026, ending before finals
Paid training before your first live shift
Hiring with intent to convert: strong performers will be considered for full-time operations and technician roles in December
If you're aiming at robotics technician or automation work, this is a head start.
