Industrial Electrician or Controls Technician
Robots are learning to seat connectors and handle wiring, and they make mistakes an electrician spots at a glance. You show the right way in simulation and review the robot's attempts.

What electricians do in simulation.
We build the task in simulation. You show how it is done, correct the robot where it goes wrong and set what counts as done right. Robotics teams train their own models on the result.
Demonstrate
Show how a connector is aligned, seated and checked, or how a wire is routed, using the controls provided.
Correct robot mistakes
Review robot attempts at connector seating and wiring, flag what went wrong, such as a half-seated plug or a strained wire, and show the fix.
Set the criteria
Define what a finished job looks like: fully seated and latched, routed correctly, no damage to pins or insulation.
What we ask for.
- 5 or more years as an industrial electrician, controls technician or in similar hands-on electrical work
- Based in the US
- Able to explain the steps, checks and common mistakes in your work
- No robotics, simulation or coding background needed
How the work runs.

Questions from electricians.

Can electricians make money training AI?
Yes. This role pays $60–80/hr, depending on experience, for part-time project work on a computer. You review connector seating and wiring tasks in simulation. Scope, hours and payment terms are agreed before each project starts.
Is there remote work for electricians?
Field work isn't remote, but this is. Most contributions happen on a computer. Timing and equipment depend on the project and are set out before it starts.
Will robots replace electricians?
Not any time soon. Most electrical work happens in tight, unfinished, one-off spaces and depends on judgement about safety and code. Robots are a long way from that. Today they are learning narrow tasks like seating a connector, and what they learn is shaped by whoever teaches them.
Do I need robotics or coding experience?
No. Each project gives you the instructions and controls for the task. We need your knowledge of the work.
How do I apply?
Fill in the application. It takes about 5 minutes and asks about your experience, your hours and one mistake a beginner makes in your work that you would spot right away. When a project needs your expertise, we reach out.
