Robotics Data Collection Delivery Manager

Responsibilities

• Delivery & Operations:
• Own end-to-end delivery of egocentric robotics data collection programs from kickoff through final hour acceptance, ensuring all client quality, diversity, and timeline targets are met
• Develop and maintain a standard collection playbook adaptable across clients with adjustable parameters - camera geometry, naturalism blend, mount type, regions - rather than rebuilt from scratch each engagement
• Build reusable delivery assets including SOPs, onboarding and training curricula, scorecards, rubrics, and tracking infrastructure shared across client programs
• Monitor daily project progress against hour targets and acceptance rates, identifying and resolving bottlenecks before they impact delivery
• Act on client QA feedback within 24 hours, relay actionable guidance to contributors, and drive measurable improvement across quality, diversity, and task adherence dimensions
• Collaborate closely with Robotics Solutions Engineers to ensure clean handoff from pre-sales design to delivery, aligning on scope, success metrics, and data collection execution plans
• Robotics & Technical Fluency:
• Develop a working understanding of client robotics architectures - including VLMs, VLAs, ACTs, world models, and manipulation policies - to translate model requirements into concrete data collection specifications
• Translate client technical requirements (camera geometry, IMU specifications, naturalism targets, egocentric capture pipeline standards, file format requirements) into clear contributor guidance and internal delivery standards
• Partner with clients' robotics and ML teams to understand evolving data needs and proactively adjust collection programs to ensure dataset utility for model training
• Maintain fluency in egocentric capture best practices, sensor/rig configurations, and common failure modes (e.g. robotic movement, poor framing, low task diversity) to engineer quality upstream
• Participant & Contributor Management:
• Oversee a continuous contributor recruitment funnel capable of sourcing and onboarding 10,000+ participants at scale across US, LatAm, and developed Asia markets
• Partner with recruiting channels - crowd work agencies, BPO and workplace partnerships, universities, gig platforms, and referral networks - to maintain a reliable, diversified sourcing pipeline
• Design and enforce participant onboarding and training programs that front-load quality, addressing common failure modes before volume collection begins
• Monitor contributor-level metrics including acceptance rates, fraud rates, diversity scores, and hour contribution, taking corrective action where needed
• Client & Stakeholder Management:
• Serve as the primary operational point of contact for robotics clients during active collection engagements, maintaining strong relationships and positioning Innodata for contract expansion
• Provide regular project status updates to clients and internal leadership, including hour delivery progress, acceptance rates, fraud rates, and open issues
• Bring structured, frontline feedback from clients back into Innodata's product and roadmap discussions, helping shape a scalable Robotics & Physical AI data practice
• Represent Innodata's robotics data capabilities at key industry events and contribute to thought leadership through
