Clera Lead physical AI data capture projects involving robotics and sensor systems. Responsible for setup, operation, troubleshooting, and training in teleoperation and motion capture.

Responsibilities

Lead physical AI data capture projects that help robots learn from human movement and manipulation. You will set up capture systems, guide data quality, and contribute to robot learning and evaluation across projects of varying lengths.
Set up and maintain teleoperation rigs using VR controllers, leader arms, and ROS or ROS 2, ensuring demonstrations meet quality standards.
Design egocentric and manipulation capture systems, including camera placement, task scripts, and quality assurance protocols.
Operate and troubleshoot motion capture and sensor systems, including OptiTrack, Vicon, IMUs, and LiDAR.
Plan scene recording, calibration, and data collection across multiple sites.
Design robot evaluation tasks, define success criteria, and develop scoring systems.
Train, mentor, and review operators and data capture technicians.

Qualification

Required

At least 5 years of hands-on experience in robotics operations, teleoperation, motion capture, sensor capture, lab work, autonomous vehicle testing, or precision hands-on work.
Practical experience with robotics or physical AI data capture, such as teleoperation, egocentric or manipulation recording, or robot evaluation.
Experience setting up and troubleshooting capture rigs and tools, including ROS or ROS 2, VR teleoperation, OptiTrack or Vicon, cameras, LiDAR, or IMUs.
Ability to design or run capture sessions with defined protocols and quality checks.
Experience training capture teams or evaluating robots against defined success criteria is useful.
Ability to record at home or at work using provided equipment, or travel for on-site projects.
