About the job
About Trace Labs
At Trace Labs, we are pioneering the data marketplace for Physical AI, a groundbreaking field poised to revolutionize the way work is conducted in real-world environments. From advanced robotics to AI systems that perceive, move, and engage with their surroundings, the potential is immense. However, a major obstacle lies in the current inability to effectively gather high-quality, real-world training data. Traditional robotics models are trained on significantly less data compared to language models, as there is no equivalent to an 'internet of robotics data.'
Trace Labs is here to change that narrative.
We are developing the essential infrastructure required to capture and convert real-world data generated by humans engaged in physical tasks, transforming it into invaluable training data for robotics, embodied AI models, and other systems that function in the physical domain.
Success in our mission will not only accelerate the evolution of Physical AI but also enhance the safe and reliable capabilities of these systems in the world. Our platform is designed to accommodate a variety of data formats, capture workflows, and evolving customer needs. What we gather today is merely the beginning.
If you aspire to be one of the first hires in a company that is defining how robots learn to work, we encourage you to keep reading.
Why Join Trace Labs?
A transformative challenge: Physical AI has the potential to reshape entire industries, yet it cannot achieve scalability without robust real-world data. Trace Labs is tackling one of the fundamental constraints that hinder progress in this field.
Real momentum: We have active pilots and increasing demand on both sides of our marketplace.
A skilled and cohesive team: Our team comprises experienced founders, PhDs, and operators with a proven track record of building and scaling ventures together.
Ownership of your work: As an early team member, your contributions will significantly influence our product, systems, and overall direction.
A foundational platform: We are constructing core infrastructure that will facilitate numerous future products and applications as Physical AI advances.
The Role
As an Operations Manager, you will play a critical role in ensuring the smooth functioning of Trace Labs in real-world environments. The success of our data capture operations directly influences the scalability of our company; when these processes run seamlessly, we thrive, but any disruption can lead to slowdowns.
