A Tesla is opening the doors to anyone who wants to be part of the future of robotics. electric vehicle manufacturer de Elon Musk is hiring people to train Tesla's robot, Optimus, and still pay a lot for it. And the best: all this while wearing motion capture suits and experiencing a total immersion experience in virtual reality. Interested? So pay attention to the details.

For some time now, Tesla has been publicizing the development of Optimus, Tesla robot which promises to revolutionize the way we understand automation. Now, the company is looking to grow its team and wants to hire people willing to teach the robot new skills. The position advertised on Tesla's careers website is called “Data Collection Operator”, where the hire needs to imitate actions that the Tesla's robot should perform in its future functions.

To train the Tesla robot

A Tesla is offering up to US$48 per hour (equivalent to R$259,83 in direct conversion). If you are interested, Know that the job requires walking for more than seven hours a day, carry up to 13,6 pounds, and use a virtual reality headset for long periods. Although it may seem exhausting, the financial return is worth it: in a single day of work, it is possible to pocket US$336 (R$1.840 thousand).

Tesla has already hired more than 50 people

However, there are some requirements. To be chosen, the candidate must be between 1,70 m and 1,80 m tall, as the Tesla robot, Optimus measures around 1,72 m.

Millions of hours of data will be needed to prepare Optimus

But work is not just a matter of physical effort. Training humanoid robots, like the Tesla robot, involves a highly technical and meticulous process. Animesh Garg, senior researcher at Nvidia Research, explained that millions of hours of data will be needed to prepare Optimus to work in Tesla factories. PTo give you an idea, the necessary data collection can easily reach half a billion dollars. E Even with all this investment, there is no guarantee of success. It's a calculated risk that Tesla is willing to take in pursuit of making Optimus a truly useful robot in production, as promised by Elon Musk for 2025.

This could be your chance to be a part

However, the Tesla is not alone in this race. Other companies, such as Boston Dynamics, Figure and Apptronik, have already put their robots to the test, and the competition is fierce. Even so, Tesla's ambition to make the Tesla robot a leader in human robotics is evident, and this could be your chance to be part of this historic milestone.

We decided to if you are ready to take on the challenge of training the Tesla robot, don't miss this opportunity. It may be tiring, it may be technical, but the reward – both financially and in terms of experience – could be something out of the ordinary.

Yes, I would. Just being an employee of Elon Musk was already worth it. Too bad I don't have the required height. Good luck and success to Elon Musk and. The future Optimus trainers.
