Job Description
Torc Robotics seeks a Data Annotator I for a fixed-term, six-month remote contract in Canada. Open to residents of Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, or Quebec, this full-time role involves 40 hours per week operating on Eastern Time hours. The company focuses on developing automated truck software to transform the movement of freight. In this position, team members support the data annotation and quality assurance pipeline by labeling information from diverse sensors, such as images and LiDAR, to help train artificial intelligence systems utilized in autonomous trucks.

Responsibilities include labeling objects with specialized tools to generate two-dimensional bounding boxes, three-dimensional cuboids, and additional shapes representing obstacles, road features, and vehicles.

Equipment is supplied and shipped by Torc Robotics.
