About the role

End-to-End Project Delivery: Own the full lifecycle of complex robotics data collection and annotation projects—from initial client alignment and solution design to final delivery. Ensure dataset production meets strict client SLAs and accuracy standards while managing internal cost and timeline targets.

What they're looking for

  • Background: 2–5+ years of project or program management experience (TPM role). Must have direct experience in AI data services, autonomous driving, robotics, or managing high-throughput data BPO pipelines
  • Technical Literacy: A strong grasp of tech fundamentals. You can comfortably interface with engineering teams on topics like data pipelines, sensor modalities, 3D spatial math, and ML training workflows
  • Problem Solving: Exceptional learning agility and structured thinking. You can quickly isolate the root cause of complex pipeline failures, sensor drifts, or label inconsistencies, and drive cross-functional resources to a solution
  • Cross-Border Collaboration: Elite communication skills in English, comfortable working with global, multi-lingual teams across different time zones. Comfort with international travel or coordinating with overseas operations is a plus
  • Startup Mindset: A high-ownership, self-driven operator who thrives on turning chaos into structured, repeatable processes in a fast-moving, high-impact environment
More about this role

At MaxInsights, we enable Robotics Foundation Model companies to access massive, high-quality, scalable training data for embodied AI through our end-to-end data solution platform. Frontier labs are racing to build general-purpose robots, and high-quality training data is the bottleneck. We are building the data collection systems, simulation engines, operational capabilities, and software toolchain to help our partners drive the field forward.

End-to-End Project Delivery: Own the full lifecycle of complex robotics data collection and annotation projects—from initial client alignment and solution design to final delivery. Ensure dataset production meets strict client SLAs and accuracy standards while managing internal cost and timeline targets.

Data Solution & Spec Design: Deeply understand clients' robotic model training needs (sensors, modalities, action spaces). Translate ambiguous academic and commercial requirements into concrete, high-precision data collection, simulation, and annotation specifications (Specs).

Global Cross-Functional Coordination: Serve as the central program hub coordinating teams across the US, China, and Southeast Asia. Bring together engineering, data...
