Type:

full-time I am looking for Data Operators for a contract role for Meta. This is a 3 month contract opportunity. We're seeking reliable, detail-oriented Data Operators to join a cross-functional robotics team. In this role, you'll use cutting-edge Virtual Reality (VR) headsets to perform a wide variety of real-world tasks - cooking, cleaning, interacting with objects - generating the high-quality data that trains next-generation spatial computing models. This is a full-time, on-site contingent worker (CWX) role embedded directly with researchers and engineers on one of Meta's most ambitious initiatives.

What You'll Do VR Data Collection:

Wear a company-provided VR headset and perform everyday tasks precisely as specified by collection protocols, capturing high-quality embodied data that teaches AI systems real-world behaviours.

Daily Data Uploads:

Securely upload all collected data daily using a proprietary application, ensuring adherence to formatting, tagging, and security standards.

Quality Assurance:

Self-audit captured sessions to ensure completeness and quality; re-collect any sessions that don't meet standards.

Session Logging:

Maintain accurate records of completed sessions, task IDs, and any anomalies or deviations encountered.

Issue Reporting:

Promptly and clearly escalate technical issues, hardware malfunctions, or protocol ambiguities to the Program Manager.

Protocol Refinement:

Contribute operator-level feedback to improve collection protocols, quality standards, and workflow efficiency over time.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

Partner with researchers, engineers, and program managers to identify edge cases, troubleshoot issues, and improve data quality for downstream model training.

Equipment Care:

Properly handle, charge, clean, and store the VR headset and peripherals at the end of each day. What Would Make You A Great Fit Attention to

Detail:

Ability to follow instructions precisely and maintain focus over extended periods to ensure data integrity across repetitive, structured tasks.

Technology Proficiency:

High comfort level using mobile applications, consumer electronics, and VR headsets for extended periods.

Physical Stamina:

Ability to stand, walk, and move actively for extended periods while wearing a VR headset - many collection tasks involve active movement.

Reliability & Time Management:

Strong commitment to meeting strict daily and weekly data delivery deadlines.

Clear Communication:

Ability to promptly and clearly report technical issues, ambiguities, or roadblocks.

Data Handling Awareness:

Understanding of the importance of data security, privacy, and confidentiality standards.

Adaptability:

Flexibility to adjust to evolving protocols, new task types, and shifting project priorities as research scope expands.

Background:

Strong fits for this role include: Robot operators or teleoperation specialists Structured data collection or annotation professionals Individuals with hands-on VR experience (e.g., Meta Quest, Rift, or equivalent headsets) Anyone with a track record of precision-driven, protocol-based work What We Offer Shape the future of work - your daily work directly fuels the training of next-generation embodied intelligence models Hands-on experience with the latest VR headsets and spatial computing tools before they reach the broader market. Active, dynamic workdays - move beyond a desk and perform varied real-world tasks instead of repetitive screen-based work. Work on-site in Menlo Park alongside leading researchers, engineers, and program managers. Build expertise in VR operation, structured data collection, and research workflows - valuable experience for careers in AI, robotics, and spatial computing. Full-time, on-site position with clear protocols, dedicated Program Manager support, and a collaborative team environment. 0-3 years of experience required If you are passionate and want hands-on involvement with cutting-edge technology, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
