Robotics Video Annotator
Job Description
Examine recorded robot actions and describe precisely what happened, when it happened and whether the instruction was completed.
What you will do
• Label actions, object interactions, state changes, transitions, errors and outcomes in robot and human-action footage.
• Mark frame-accurate beginnings and endings, verify synchronization and correct timestamp drift.
• Compare clips against written instructions and expected end states; repair generated descriptions and boundaries.
• Identify missed grasps, dropped objects, poor paths and positioning errors; use engineering knowledge where relevant to explain failures.
• Assess framing, continuity, clarity, sound, mood and changes in pace when the assigned rubric calls for them.
• Document uncertain cases, calibrate labels, incorporate quality feedback and propose clearer rules.
Required background
• Precise observation, consistent application of detailed rules, organized independent work and clear written communication.
• For audiovisual-production review: professional or academic media-production experience, audio/video fundamentals, familiarity with production software and English communication.
Preferred background
• For music-editing review, post-production/editorial experience and precise timing are preferred.
• Relevant backgrounds include mechatronics or robotics, game design/QA, photography, filmmaking, editing, visual effects, animation, sound, UX/UI and related engineering.
• For robotics analysis, practical robotic-system experience and knowledge of motion, grasping, perception and sensors are preferred.
• Editing or animation software experience may include Premiere Pro, Resolve, Final Cut, Avid, Blender, Maya, Houdini, Cinema 4D, Nuke or After Effects; no requirement to know every tool.
• Frame-level annotation and AI-data experience are valued; the general action-comparison work does not impose a separate degree or experience threshold.
Location and eligibility
• Remote. The mechatronics, photography, senior annotation, gaming, robotics, video/VFX and UX assignments specify North America, Latin America, Europe, the UK or Oceania. Other included annotation assignments do not state a country restriction.
