Operations Manager, Data Aquisition

Job description

About the Team Our Robotics team is focused on unlocking general-purpose robotics and advancing toward AGI-level intelligence in dynamic, real-world environments. Working across the full model and systems stack, we integrate cutting-edge hardware and software to explore a broad range of robotic form factors. We strive to seamlessly blend high-level AI capabilities with the physical constraints of real-world systems to improve people’s lives. About the Role: We are seeking a Leader, DAQ Operations to own and scale the system that enables robotics data collection across OpenAI’s robotics program. This system spans our robotic stations, a large managed workforce, and facilities, while engineering and research teams continuously evolve the platforms and workflows running on top. You will sit at the center of this system, ensuring alignment across research, engineering, operations, and external partners so data collection runs reliably at scale. This is a single-threaded ownership role—responsible for making the system operate cohesively, scale across sites, and continuously improve as robotics capabilities evolve. Success in this role requires strong cross-domain leadership and coordin...
