Robot Teleoperator (Data Collection), Short-Term Contract

THE COMPANY LUDO ROBOTICS is dedicated to building general-purpose robotic intelligence systems that are robust, adaptive, and capable of handling real-world scenarios. We believe that data-driven machine learning at massive scale is the key to unlocking these capabilities and enabling the widespread deployment of robots across society. We are a new startup headquartered in Bay Area, California, with an office in Seoul, Korea. Our team spans a wide range of backgrounds and experience, from new graduates to seasoned domain experts. What matters most to us is ownership, speed, and intellectual curiosity - people who take responsibility, move fast, and enjoy thinking deeply about hard problems. We are supported by a highly advanced AI Center within KRAFTON, a leading global video game company best known for the genre-defining worldwide success PUBG: Battlegrounds. KRAFTON has extensive experience building and operating large-scale, data-rich products, and we have secured investment from them. This gives us strong long-term backing, deep technical partnership opportunities, and access to world-class infrastructure and talent networks as we push robotic intelligence forward. We are looking for passionate builders who want to explore uncharted territory, take on difficult problems, and ship ambitious, industry-shaping work. You will collaborate across diverse teams as we bring our technology from research into real-world deployment. THE OPPORTUNITY Ludo is hiring in-house Robot Teleoperators for a data collection project at our Palo Alto office. You'll control robot arms by hand to do everyday tasks and say out loud what you're doing as you do it. Your movements and your voice are recorded together. That data goes straight into training our AI models, so robots learn to connect words like "pick up the red cup" with the matching action. The cleaner and more consistent your demonstrations, the better our robots learn. No prior robotics experience is needed; we will train you on the robots, scripts and data tools during your onboarding. A TYPICAL SHIFT Each shift is 8 hours, split into recording blocks with breaks in between. You start by powering on the robots, running the calibration check and confirming the cameras and microphone are recording, then get the day's tasks and scripts from your lead. Most of the shift is spent recording episodes.
