Robot Teleoperation Specialist

The role is part-time and contractor-based (1–2 days a week), with the option to ramp up. Minimum duration is 3 months, renewable. A great fit for a student.

Role Overview
Genesis is a global physical AI lab and full-stack robotics company. We build generalist robots to unlock unlimited physical labor, so humans can focus on creativity, curiosity, and what we love.

You’ll execute predefined tasks by following standard operating procedures, monitor robot behavior during operation, and ensure sessions are run safely and consistently.
This is a highly hands-on, execution-focused role. Technical setup, hardware maintenance, and data infrastructure are handled by other teams — when you arrive, everything is ready for you to teleoperate.
This role is onsite in London, UK.
