Company Overview
Our client is an innovative AI and robotics company developing autonomous, general-purpose humanoid robots. The organization is expanding its robotics operations in San Jose, California, where humanoid robots will be trained to perform everyday tasks across a variety of real-world environments.
Position Overview
We are seeking Staging Specialists to support humanoid robot training and data collection operations. This is a highly hands-on, physical position responsible for repeatedly resetting real-world environments so robots can practice everyday activities.
Staging Specialists will work directly alongside humanoid robots, preparing and resetting objects, furniture, props, and training environments throughout the day.
What the Job Actually Looks Like
A typical training scenario may involve a humanoid robot learning to load dishes into a dishwasher. After the robot completes the task, the Staging Specialist will remove the dishes, return them to their starting positions, and reset the environment so the robot can perform the task again.
Candidates should expect repetitive physical activity throughout an eight-hour shift, including:
- Standing and walking for extended periods
- Bending, reaching, and lifting
- Moving and organizing objects, furniture, and props
- Continuously resetting training environments
- Working in close proximity to humanoid robots and robotics equipment
Responsibilities
- Set up and reset environments used for humanoid robot training and data collection.
- Arrange furniture, household items, props, and other materials according to specific configurations.
- Work alongside humanoid robots throughout daily training activities.
- Continuously reset tasks and environments so robots can repeat training scenarios.
- Load, unload, move, and organize equipment, furniture, props, and supplies.
- Follow setup specifications carefully to maintain consistent data collection.
- Coordinate with the data collection team on scene requirements and timelines.
- Maintain and organize inventory of props and equipment.
- Identify damaged or missing materials and communicate replacement needs.
- Troubleshoot setup issues and adjust environments when necessary.
- Document configurations and capture reference photos when required.
- Maintain safe and organized work areas.
- Remain on feet and perform repetitive bending and physical activity for the majority of the shift.
Required Qualifications
- 1+ year of experience in a hands-on environment such as food service, staging, event setup, warehouse operations, set design, hospitality, stocking, fulfillment, or a similar role.
- Comfortable standing and performing repetitive physical work for approximately eight hours per day.
- Strong attention to detail and ability to follow specific setup instructions.
- Reliable and able to consistently work the selected shift for the full six-month contract.
- Self-starter who can work independently with minimal supervision.
- Reliable transportation to the San Jose worksite.
Target Candidate Backgrounds
Candidates from food service and restaurant environments may translate especially well because of the physical pace, repetitive task execution, reliability requirements, standing, cleaning/resetting responsibilities, and attention to process.

- Paid federal holidays
- Criminal background check required
- Candidates may be eligible to begin onsite while the background check is pending
