Robotics Data Operator Intern

Faraday Future is a California-based mobility company developing technology-first, user-centric vehicles and new human-vehicle interactions. The Robotics Data Operator Intern will collect high-fidelity human behavior and robot teleoperation data for training Vision-Language-Action models, operate robotic systems through VR interfaces, and ensure data quality, technical compliance, formatting, and upload protocols.

Responsibilities:

• Egocentric Data Collection: Wear designated head-mounted recording devices (e.g., smartphone rigs, GoPro, or head-mounted VR kits) to capture daily or industrial tasks from a first-person perspective in diverse environments (home, retail, or manufacturing)
• VR Teleoperation: Operate robotic systems via VR interfaces to perform complex manipulation tasks. Ensure high-quality capture of multi-modal data, including joint states, torques, and gripper status, while maintaining low-latency execution
• Technical Specification Compliance: Maintain strict recording standards (1080p, 30FPS, horizontal orientation, FOV >130°). Ensure accurate extraction of camera intrinsic parameters and time-synchronization across all sensors
• Quality Assurance & Pre-processing: Conduct initial self-inspections to filter out clips with excessive shaking, occlusions, or focus failures. Ensure data is correctly formatted (e.g., MCAP, HDF5) and uploaded according to protocol
