About AMI
We are building a new breed of AI systems that (1) understand the real world, (2) have persistent memory, (3) can reason and plan, and (4) are controllable and safe.
We are a team of scientists and engineers building frontier world model-based AI. We combine the scientific rigor of a top-tier research institute with focus on engineering excellence and execution.
We are a global company, with offices in Paris, Montreal, New York, and Singapore. Come build the future of AI with us!
What you’ll do
Model and algorithm evaluation
•
Arrange objects and scenes in exact, specified configurations so that test runs are comparable.
•
Launch our algorithms on the robots following written instructions, and watch each run closely.
•
Record outcomes (success, failure, partial), timings and anything unusual, accurately and consistently.
•
Reset the scene and repeat across many trials and variations.
Data collection
•
Teleoperate robots through tasks such as picking, placing, sorting, stacking, opening containers, tool use and simple assembly, using leader–follower arms, VR or motion-tracking rigs, gamepads or keyboard interfaces.
•
Run scripted or programmatic data collection where the robot is driven by code rather than by hand.
•
Introduce requested variations in objects, positions, lighting and task order while keeping your technique consistent.
•
Meet daily targets for data volume without compromising quality or safety.
Data annotation and review
•
Review recorded episodes and mark them as successful, failed or invalid and assign rewards.
•
Label task phases, outcomes and failure reasons using our annotation tools.
•
Write clear operator notes so researchers understand what happened in each run.
Lab operations and safety
•
Start up, calibrate, inspect, reset and shut down robots, cameras and operator stations using documented procedures.
•
Spot unusual robot behavior, hardware faults or software issues, stop work when something looks unsafe, and report problems clearly enough for an engineer to reproduce them.
•
Keep stations, objects and shared spaces organized and inventoried.
•
Test new tasks, hardware and tools, and suggest improvements to our procedures.
