Job description for Machine Operators at AV Data
⚙️ Machine Operators: Get Paid to Record Your Workflow
Use your hands-on equipment experience to help train the next generation of AI.
We are recruiting experienced machine operators, equipment operators, technicians, and industrial professionals for a flexible paid video recording project.
Using our app and a phone head mount, you will record first-person (POV) videos while performing authorized machine-control and equipment-operation workflows and naturally explain what you are doing.
🎛️ We Want to Capture Real Machine-Control Workflows
Depending on your experience and assignment, you may record activities such as:
- Setting up and preparing equipment
- Operating buttons, switches, levers, pedals, and control panels
- Selecting settings and operating modes
- Adjusting machine parameters during routine work
- Monitoring gauges, indicators, and displays
- Loading or positioning materials
- Starting and stopping routine operations
- Performing pre-operation checks
- Inspecting output or completed work
- Making routine adjustments
- Responding to normal operating conditions
- Routine shutdown and cleanup procedures
- Other approved equipment-operation workflows
We are interested in how experienced operators actually interact with machinery—the sequence of actions, hand movements, control interactions, observations, checks, adjustments, and decisions involved in completing a task.
🎙️ Narrate Your Process
While you work, naturally explain:
What you are doing • Which control you are interacting with • What you are checking • What you notice • Why you make an adjustment • What happens next • How you know the task is progressing correctly
You do not need a script. We want to capture your real workflow, operational knowledge, and decision-making.
What You Need
✓ Professional machine or equipment operating experience
✓ Authorization to operate and record the equipment
✓ Smartphone
✓ Phone head mount
✓ Ability to naturally explain your workflow while working
✓ Approximately 10 hours available for the assignment
We provide training, detailed task instructions, recording guidelines, and sample videos showing exactly what we are looking for.
English narration is preferred.
Interested?
If operating machinery, industrial equipment, production equipment, or specialized controls is part of your professional experience, we would like to hear from you.
**Only record routine operations on equipment you are trained and authorized to operate, and only where recording is permitted. Recording must not interfere with required PPE, visibility, communication, or safe equipment operation. Do not record confidential control settings, proprietary processes, access credentials, coworkers without permission, or other sensitive workplace information. Application does not guarantee selection. Compensation is based on approved qualifying videos and hours that meet assignment requirements.
