About AI Training and Video Annotation

AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence. Contributors review real-world examples, annotate visual data, and evaluate outcomes so AI models can learn how to recognize actions and make better decisions.

In this project, your annotations will help models learn from videos of robotic arms performing designated tasks. Careful, consistent visual review is essential to producing useful training data.

• Support the development of next-generation AI systems
• Apply structured judgments to real-world video footage
• Use visual data expertise in a cutting-edge technology field

The Role

OpenTrain AI is seeking Video Annotation Specialists for a remote contractor engagement focused on reviewing and annotating videos of robotic arms. You will identify key actions and outcomes, apply detailed grading guidelines, and record structured observations using video annotation tools.

The role is classified as entry level, and prior AI experience is not required. However, proven video annotation experience, robotics video annotation knowledge, and a background in AI training projects are strongly preferred.

• Compensation: $50-$90 per hour
• Role type: Contractor and part-time
• Location: Remote, worldwide
• Expected commitment: Less than 20 hours per week
• Expected duration: 1 to 3 months
• Required language: Fluent English

What You'll Do

You will work independently on precise video review while collaborating with project trainers and other contributors. The work requires accurate application of grading guidelines, clear documentation, and prompt communication when questions or ambiguities arise.

• Review footage of robotic arms executing assigned tasks
• Identify key actions and outcomes within video sessions
• Tag and annotate events according to detailed grading guidelines
• Use video annotation tools and platforms to record observations
• Submit annotated datasets according to project standards and milestones
• Collaborate with trainers and contributors to resolve ambiguities
• Communicate progress, challenges, and insights through written and verbal channels
• Participate in quality reviews and address feedback

Requirements and Preferred Qualifications

Success in this role depends on accuracy, organization, and the ability to follow detailed instructions consistently. You should be comfortable reviewing visual data, documenting findings, and managing your own project workload.

• Experience with video annotation, video labeling workflows, or similar data-centric projects
• Robotics video annotation and AI training subject matter expertise
• Exceptional attention to detail when reviewing and tagging visual data
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Effective time management and self-organization
• Familiarity with video annotation tools and software platforms
• Analytical and problem-solving mindset
• A proactive approach to resolving annotation challenges
• Background in AI training, machine learning data preparation, or robotics projects is strongly preferred
• Fluent English proficiency

Why This Work Matters

Every major AI system depends on examples prepared and reviewed by people. By evaluating robotic-arm behavior and creating consistent annotations, you will contribute directly to how AI systems learn from physical-world activity.

• Contribute to advanced robotics and AI training work
• Gain experience with structured visual data review
• Work remotely on a defined, part-time project
