Give Our Robots Consciousness

Physical AI can't be trained on internet data alone. Robots need to learn skills in the real world — by observing, interacting with, and operating in real environments. That's the idea behind NEURA Gym: a global network of physical training centers where robots learn industrial tasks/skills directly from experienced human operators/ the people who know these processes inside out.

As a Data Operator, you'll work hands-on with the full range of NEURA Robotics’ platforms (including the cutting-edge 4NE1 humanoid robots), helping collect the real-world data that trains our AI systems. Through teleoperation, testing, and robot setup, you'll play a key role in improving the intelligence and performance of our robots.

What you'll do

  • Remote control NEURA’s robots through teleoperation to perform real-world tasks
  • Wear motion capture equipment while performing designated movements and actions based on project requirements
  • Execute structured data collection sessions to generate high-quality AI training data
  • Set up, calibrate, and prepare robots for testing and demonstrations
  • Monitor robot performance and closely work with on site service technicians to promptly resolve issues. Document observations.
  • Work with AI and Robotics Engineers to improve robot performance and capabilities

Why join NEURA Robotics?

  • Work side by side with cutting edge robots every day
  • Help train the AI powering the next generation of robotics
  • Gain hands-on experience with robotics hardware and teleoperation
  • Be part of a fast-growing team shaping the future of intelligent robots

You're a great fit if you...

  • Are used to work a fast paced, production-plant-like environment, including shifting
  • Have a hands-on background in skilled crafts such as mechanics, electrics, automotive or similar
  • Are reliable, adaptable, and eager to learn
  • Experience with robotics or automation is a plus, but not required
  • You speak English, German is a plus, but not required

Physical requirements

  • Comfortable standing and moving for extended periods of time
  • Good hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills
  • Able to perform repetitive teleoperation tasks with accuracy and focus
