Industrial Maintenance Technician or Millwright
When a line goes down, someone has to find the fault and swap the part. Robots are starting to help, and they need to learn the order, the tools and the safety steps. You show them in simulation.

What maintenance technicians 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 you would lock out, remove and replace a component such as a belt, bearing or sensor.
Correct robot mistakes
Review robot attempts and flag mistakes such as a skipped lockout step, a misaligned part or the wrong tool.
Set the criteria
Define what a finished repair looks like and the checks before the equipment runs again.
What we ask for.
- 5 or more years in industrial maintenance, as a millwright or maintenance mechanic
- Experience with mechanical, pneumatic or hydraulic systems
- 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.
- Rate
- $55–75/hr for project work, depending on experience.
- Hours
- Part-time. You tell us how many hours a week you can give when you apply.
- Where
- Remote. Most contributions happen on a computer. Timing and equipment depend on the project and are set out before it starts.

Questions from maintenance technicians.
Something else? Write to [email protected].
Can maintenance technicians make money training AI?
Yes. This role pays $55–75/hr, depending on experience, for part-time project work on a computer. You demonstrate component swaps and review robot repairs on production equipment in simulation. Scope, hours and payment terms are agreed before each project starts.
Are there remote jobs for maintenance techs?
Plant 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 maintenance technicians?
Not any time soon. Every plant is different and most faults are one-offs. Robots are learning a few routine swaps, 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.
