Working Student – Robot Pilot & Data Collection

About the role

As a Working Student – Robot Pilot & Data Collection you will be the operational backbone of RobCo’s physical AI data pipeline. You will directly operate state‑of‑the‑art robotic systems to collect high‑quality training data that enables our robots to learn new tasks through imitation and perception.

Key responsibilities

• Operate industrial robotics equipment using VR‑based teleoperation systems and alternative control interfaces on‑site.
• Demonstrate complex manipulation tasks to generate clean, high‑precision datasets for AI and imitation‑learning models.
• Record and track repeated training episodes systematically, adhering strictly to experimental procedures and guidelines.
• Review collected data episodes for immediate quality assurance and flag obvious operational or recording errors.
• Document technical bugs, edge cases, and system anomalies to support hardware and software engineering teams.
• Provide continuous user feedback to improve the design, ergonomics, and usability of robot control interfaces.
• Ensure safe, careful, and responsible handling of advanced robotic systems and experimental hardware at all times.

Required profile

• Currently enrolled in or completed vocational training/degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a comparable technical field.
• Experience with technical devices, gaming, VR headsets, remote‑control systems, or activities requiring strong hand‑eye coordination.
• High concentration, patience, and attention to detail during repetitive, quality‑critical tasks.
• Strong ownership mindset, reliability, punctuality, and a pragmatic working style.
• Very good English skills (German is a plus).

Required skills

• VR‑based teleoperation systems
• Industrial robotics equipment operation
• Data collection for AI training
