Model Evaluation Operator (Swing Shift)

Milpitas, CA

Why RoboForce

RoboForce is an AI robotics company developing Physical AI–powered Robo-Labor for dull, dirty, and dangerous work. Our robots are engineered for demanding outdoor environments, with a focus on real-world deployment and scalability.
 
We are looking for a Model Evaluation Operator to help evaluate, validate, and improve robotic AI systems through structured real-world testing workflows. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on technical work, operating robotic systems, and working closely with cutting-edge robotics technology. You will play a key role in conducting open-loop and closed-loop model evaluations, running model inference, and operating real robots to execute actions with precision. You will also collect high-quality operational data and performance feedback that directly contribute to improving our AI models. This is a highly hands-on role working with physical robotic systems in a lab/industrial environment.

Responsibilities

  • Execute closed-loop robotic model evaluation workflows in real-world environments.
  • Perform robotic manipulation and operational tasks with high consistency and accuracy.
  • Closely observe and document robot behavior, model performance, task failures, recovery behavior, and edge cases in detail.
  • Maintain accurate evaluation logs, notes, annotations, and performance records for engineering review.
  • Identify and report inconsistencies, failure patterns, safety risks, and unexpected robot behaviors.
  • Follow structured workflows for setup, execution, reset, troubleshooting, and evaluation procedures.
  • Capture, organize, and annotate operational data to support AI model training and validation.
  • Run Linux command-line tools and basic scripts for workflow execution and system operation.
  • Assist with hardware setup, calibration, and maintaining stable robot operation.
  • Collaborate with engineers and researchers to improve model evaluation quality and operational efficiency.
  • Maintain lab organization, operational discipline, and safety standards.

Requirements

  • Associate degree, Bachelor’s degree, technical certification, or equivalent hands-on experience in Robotics, Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical fields.
  • Comfortable working with physical robotic hardware in a lab or industrial environment.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to carefully observe and document system behavior.
  • Ability to stay focused and maintain quality during repetitive technical tasks over extended periods.
  • Strong sense of operational consistency and process discipline.
  • Basic familiarity with Linux command-line tools.
  • Some exposure to Python or scripting tools (does not need to be advanced).
  • Good troubleshooting and problem-solving mindset.
  • Strong hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness.
  • Reliable, patient, and comfortable working in iterative testing environments.
  • Interest in robotics, AI systems, or real-world automation.

Bonus Qualifications

  • Experience with robotics systems, automation equipment, or technical lab environments.
  • Familiarity with robotic manipulation or AI/robotics evaluation workflows.
  • Experience with data collection, annotation, QA testing, or operational validation.
  • Basic understanding of robot behavior, AI models, or control systems.
  • Experience in repetitive precision-based work such as assembly, instrumentation, or equipment operation.

Benefits

  • Lunches and dinners, a fully stocked kitchen.
  • The US hourly rate for this position is $30–$35.

Shift - Monday–Friday, 03:00 PM–11:00 PM
