This is a full-time, on-site position in Redwood City.

What You’ll Do

• Video Annotation: Manually annotate video sequences (boxes/masks/keypoints), track IDs, and label actions & temporal segments.

• Data Quality: Maintain data integrity by applying guidelines and QC checks; resolve ambiguities and fix errors.

• Pre-Annotation & Autolawbeling: Leverage pre-annotation/autolabeling tools to boost throughput—validate/correct model prelabels and tune auto-tracking/segmentation pipelines.

What You’ll Bring

• Education: Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience).

• Attention to Detail: Strong attention to detail; consistent application of guidelines.

• Independence: Ability to follow detailed instructions and work independently with minimal supervision.

Bonus Points For

• Video Annotation Experience: Hands-on experience annotating video (boxes/masks/keypoints, action labels, ID tracking).

• Annotation Tools: Proficiency with annotation tools; comfort with pre-annotation/autolabel review and correction.

• QA Practices: Familiarity with QA practices (inter-annotator agreement, spot checks, golden sets).

• Annotation Formats & Video Concepts: Knowledge of common annotation formats (e.g., COCO, YOLO, MOT/KITTI) and basic video concepts (frame rate, codecs).

At Dyna Robotics , we build technology for the real world, which requires a team as diverse as the environments our robots inhabit. We are an equal opportunity employer committed to technical rigor and mutual respect.

Don’t let a checklist stop you. Data shows that underrepresented groups often only apply if they meet 100% of the criteria. We value problem-solving and grit over keyword matching. If you’re passionate about robotics, no matter your discipline, we want to hear from you, even if you don't check every box.
