Tesla is taking the next steps in developing its humanoid Optimus robots—or at least it’s hiring workers to take those literal steps. For up to $48 an hour, you could help collect data to train Tesla’s AI-powered robots, designed to automate work in company factories.
According to job listings on LinkedIn, Indeed, and Tesla’s website, Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company is hiring “data collection operators” to gather movement information and provide equipment feedback on the Optimus robots. Workers are required to wear motion-capture suits and virtual reality headsets to simulate the movements and actions of the bots. Per the job listing, applicants must be able to walk for over seven hours a day and should be between 5'7" and 5’11" in order to operate the motion-capture suits. Payment ranges between $25.25 and $48 per hour.
