About Ultra
Ultra builds industrial AI robots that are working in the real world today. Our robots automate mission-critical warehouse labor end-to-end, starting with e-commerce order packaging. We deploy fast, learn from real production data, and iterate aggressively. We already have multiple revenue-generating robots operating in U.S. warehouses, and are now scaling toward hundreds of deployments over the next couple years. Our goal is simple: build the most advanced, most productive industrial AI robots on the planet.
Overview
We’re looking for exceptional operators to push the limits of robotic teleoperation. This is a high-performance role where precision, speed, and problem solving matter every day.
You’ll operate robots in VR at a professional level, helping define how work gets done — refining existing tasks and inventing new workflows alongside customers and our internal teams. We’re looking for people who treat performance as a craft and constantly chase improvement.
What You’ll Do
- Operate robots in VR for extended sessions with elite-level focus, consistency, and control.
- Continuously optimize task execution — improving speed, precision, and efficiency through experimentation and repetition.
- Partner with customer and sales teams to prototype new capabilities and workflows in real environments.
- Work closely with engineering and AI teams to translate operator insight into better robot performance and autonomy.
Who You Are
- Highly competitive with yourself — you measure performance and push to improve every session.
- Exceptional hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, and physical control under pressure.
- Able to maintain deep focus for long periods while making fast, high-quality decisions.
- Problem solver by instinct — you see obstacles as opportunities to refine technique.
Experience & Skills
- High-level experience in gaming, VR, simulation, robotics, athletics, or other precision performance domains is a strong plus.
- Comfortable operating in fast-paced warehouse or industrial environments.
- Strong communicator who can clearly explain insights, failures, and opportunities for improvement.
- Able to stay physically and mentally engaged during extended operating sessions.
