Ops Facilitator - Pilot Support Team
Job description
About the role
The owns the end-to-end readiness of teleoperation data collection sessions. This role ensures that humanoid robot pilots proceed without interruption by preparing environments and validating hardware before each shift. The hire is responsible for maintaining the operational integrity of the data collection workflow when robots are active on the floor. They sort, assign, and stage pilot teleoperation kits while tracking inventory across all shifts to prevent discrepancies. This position coordinates closely with shift leads to guarantee tools, space, and equipment are available at the correct time. The individual will identify and flag component faults early to prevent issues from impacting the data collection schedule. Additional duties include supporting teardown procedures between shifts and resetting workspaces to maintain efficiency. The role performs support for breakdown schedules to ensure units are stored and serviced correctly within established procedures.
Key facts
What you'll do
- Prepare the operational environment each day to ensure pilot activities proceed safely and on schedule for teleoperation data sessions.
- Validate the operational status of hardware and equipment through pre-shift checks before humanoid robots begin active runs.
- Sort, assign, and stage pilot teleoperation kits while tracking and maintaining accurate inventory across all operational shifts.
- Coordinate with shift leads to guarantee that every pilot has the necessary tools, space, and robot availability at the precise required time.
- Identify and flag component faults early through systematic inspection to prevent issues from impacting the data collection schedule.
- Support teardown procedures between shifts by resetting workspaces and organizing the area to maintain operational efficiency.
- Follow established equipment and robot maintenance procedures to ensure all hardware operates safely and correctly during pilot activities.
- Provide support for breakdown schedules to ensure units are stored, transported, and serviced correctly according to organizational standards.
- Track material usage and discrepancies to maintain accurate records for inventory management and future planning.
- Communicate clearly and frequently with cross-functional teams to resolve issues that may affect pilot readiness or data quality.
- Adapt quickly to changing priorities and workflow adjustments in the fast-paced, hands-on environment of the pilot support team.
- Maintain detailed notes and logs of all activities, observations, and anomalies encountered during pilot support operations.
