This vacancy is specifically aimed at data collection operators. The job involves training the robot in things like coordination and mobility.
To do this, operators, equipped with motion capture suits and virtual reality headsets, will have to carry out everyday actions that will then be replicated by the robot. The idea with this is to provide Optimus with the ability to perform human tasks efficiently.
It is important to clarify that this work requires that the worker have characteristics similar to those of the robot in terms of height and weight, which is why some of the requirements include that the candidate must be between 1.70 and 1.80 metres tall.

As for the schedules, Tesla has established 24-hour training shiftsin order to optimize the learning process. The pay, on the other hand, ranges between 25 and 48 dollars (between 100,000 and 193,000 Colombian pesos) per hour and includes some bonuses in the form of money and shares of the company of the multimillionaire Elon Musk.
One of the challenges the company will have to face is related to the learning time of this machine, since it is estimated that Optimus will need millions of hours of data to learn how to perform the tasks for which it is designed. This could involve a significant investment for the vehicle manufacturer.
