If you have ever wanted to have a career as a robot trainer, Tesla now has a job for you. For $25.25 to $48 USD\/hr, Tesla is looking to hire humans to become robot trainers for the company\u2019s Optimus robot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new job posting recently surfaced and sees Tesla looking for humans between 5\u20197\u201d and 5\u201911\u201d in height to wear motion capture suits and a virtual reality headset to train Tesla\u2019s humanoid robots. According to Business Insider, they are to wear these pieces \u201cwhile performing designated movements and actions based on project requirements.\u201d The job listing is for Palo Alto, California and is a night shift role that explains that those employed will be required to upload data daily, while submitting reports about robot observations and even debug the program from time to time. Since the role requires additional wearable equipment, the candidate is required to \u201cwalk 7+ hours a day,\u201d while also carrying up to 30lbs of equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three different shifts are available, starting from 8 a.m. \u2013 4:30 p.m., 4 p.m. \u2013 12:30 a.m. and 12 a.m. \u2013 8:30 a.m. The job posting also features a disclaimer that reads, \u201cNote that the use of VR headsets or working in a virtual environment can be disorienting and uncomfortable for some people, which can result in VR sickness symptoms.\u201d It also said that candidates \u201cmust have the ability to stand, sit, walk, stoop, bend, reach, crouch and twist throughout the day.\u201d Those looking to apply must also have the ability to drive and \u201ctravel up to 25% of the time and daily regional driving.\u201d According to the job posting, Tesla is willing to pay $25.25 \u2013 $48.00\/hour + cash and stock awards + benefits.\u201d Candidates may also be required to work overtime \u201cwhen needed,\u201d as Tesla appears to go for a hard push in the robot training program. In the past year, Tesla has reportedly hired over 50 workers for these robot training positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animesh Garg, a senior researcher at Nvidia Research, told Business Insider that the Optimus robot would likely require millions of hours to data before it is fully able to work in Tesla factories, \u201cThe amount of data collection you\u2019d need would easily be half a billion dollars and the real question is \u2018Even if you do that, do you succeed?\u2019 Because there is no guarantee of success.\u201d Those interested can check out the job posting here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
