    Job description

    About AMI

    We are building a new breed of AI systems that (1) understand the real world, (2) have persistent memory, (3) can reason and plan, and (4) are controllable and safe.

    We are a team of scientists and engineers building frontier world model-based AI. We combine the scientific rigor of a top-tier research institute with focus on engineering excellence and execution.

    We are a global company, with offices in Paris, Montreal, New York, and Singapore. Come build the future of AI with us!

    What you'll do

    Model and algorithm evaluation

    • Arrange objects and scenes in exact, specified configurations so that test runs are comparable.

    • Launch our algorithms on the robots following written instructions, and watch each run closely.

    • Record outcomes (success, failure, partial), timings and anything unusual, accurately and consistently.

    • Reset the scene and repeat across many trials and variations.

    Data collection

    • Teleoperate robots through tasks such as picking, placing, sorting, stacking, opening containers, tool use and simple assembly, using leader–follower arms, VR or motion-tracking rigs, gamepads or keyboard interfaces.

    • Run scripted or programmatic data collection where the robot is driven by code rather than by hand.

    • Introduce requested variations in objects, positions, lighting and task order while keeping your technique consistent.

    • Meet daily targets for data volume without compromising quality or safety.

    Data annotation and review

    • Review recorded episodes and mark them as successful, failed or invalid and assign rewards.

    • Label task phases, outcomes and failure reasons using our annotation tools.

    • Write clear operator notes so researchers understand what happened in each run.

    Lab operations and safety

    • Start up, calibrate, inspect, reset and shut down robots, cameras and operator stations using documented procedures.

    • Spot unusual robot behavior, hardware faults or software issues, stop work when something looks unsafe, and report problems clearly enough for an engineer to reproduce them.

    • Keep stations, objects and shared spaces organized and inventoried.

    • Test new tasks, hardware and tools, and suggest improvements to our procedures.

    What we're looking for

    • Strong communication skills

    • Ability to come up with creative solutions

    • Meticulous attention to detail and the ability to follow written instructions exactly.

    • Strong hand–eye coordination, manual dexterity and spatial awareness.

    • Ability to learn new physical control systems quickly.

    • Comfort with repetitive, precision-focused work, and the focus to keep quality consistent over a full shift.

    • Clear written and verbal communication, especially when describing what went wrong.

    • Basic computer skills: running programs from instructions, using spreadsheets, video review and data-entry tools.

    • Comfort with a Linux terminal, basic Python, or running scripts.

    • Sound safety judgment, including the willingness to stop a robot when something looks off.

    • Reliability and punctuality for scheduled shifts.

    Nice to have

    • Hands-on experience with robot arms, mobile robots or automation equipment.

    • Basic hardware troubleshooting: cables, cameras, networking, power.

    • Background in lab, manufacturing, assembly, fulfillment or quality-control work.

    • Gaming, VR/AR, simulation, motion capture or other controller-based experience.

    • Data annotation, AI training operations or structured video review.

    • Comfort with a Linux terminal, basic Python, or running scripts.

    • An interest in AI and robotics research.
      This is a full-time, in-office role with a 40-hour workweek. Starting pay is $25 per hour.
