Are you interested in solving the most critical operations problem behind cutting-edge robotics development? Interested in fast dynamic environment? Amazon's Frontier AI & Robotics (FAR) team is building advanced robotic systems through frontier foundation models, and high-quality data collection is a core input to that research.
Key job responsibilities
Own the technical execution and continuous improvement of early-stage data collection for advanced robotics. Partner with researchers to translate research objectives into reliable collection workflows, improve data quality, and shorten policy training iteration cycles. Work independently within agreed priorities, providing hands-on technical guidance to data collectors and coordinating execution across research, engineering, and operations.
In this role, you will
-
Own end to end collection iterations for assigned research tasks, from requirements and station readiness through pilot data collection, quality review, and delivery of training-ready data. Coordinate dependencies and resolve blockers to meet agreed quality and turnaround goals.
-
Partner with researchers to develop and refine SOPs, translating task objectives, failure modes, and evaluation feedback into clear collection instructions and acceptance criteria. Maintain version control and ensure collectors adopt changes consistently.
-
Serve as the technical subject matter expert for assigned data collection workflows, equipment, and tools. Independently diagnose complex issues involving robotics hardware, sensors, calibration, collection software, and data integrity; engage engineering partners when resolution requires deeper expertise.
-
Provide daily technical direction and coaching to data collectors. Demonstrate correct execution, calibrate collectors against quality standards, and develop their troubleshooting skills and judgment.
-
Assess operational and technical risks, including equipment readiness, unsafe conditions, data loss, and quality degradation. Determine when to continue, pause collection, or escalate, and coordinate recovery within established safety and technical boundaries.
-
Coordinate technical and nontechnical stakeholders, including researchers, engineering, operations, and annotation partners. Communicate priorities, trade-offs, risks, and decisions clearly, and escalate issues that threaten delivery commitments.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
-
Bachelor's degree or above in Operations Research, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science or related field, or experience working in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM)
-
Demonstrated ability to deliver independently within defined objectives, coordinate multiple partner teams, and resolve operational blockers with limited guidance
-
Experience diagnosing hardware, software, or process issues, using evidence to identify root causes and implement corrective actions
-
Strong problem-solving and systems-thinking skills, including the ability to assess risks and make sound technical decisions with incomplete information
-
Working understanding of how collection quality, task coverage, and consistency affect model training and evaluation, with the ability to translate research requirements into executable procedures and quality checks
-
Demonstrated ability to train and mentor others and communicate complex information clearly to technical and nontechnical audiences, including remote teams and colleagues who use English as a second language
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
-
2+ years of experience in technical operations, engineering, technical project management, or a related role involving hands-on ownership of complex systems or workflows
-
Experience developing SOPs, technical documentation, performance metrics, and process improvements, and ensuring their adoption

Experience with robotics, teleoperation, egocentric video, or multimodal sensor data
-
Experience supporting ML/AI data collection, annotation, quality assurance, or model evaluation workflows
-
Familiarity with sensor calibration, timestamp synchronization, pose tracking, and data integrity checks
-
Experience using vibe coding agents to build and maintain lightweight operational tools

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Collection Agent
Document your specialized collections credentials early
PERM requires your employer to prove no qualified U.S. worker is available. Gather certifications like CCE or CAE, performance records showing recovery rates, and compliance training documentation before your employer starts the recruitment phase.
Target employers with dedicated compliance departments
Collection agencies that handle regulated debt under FDCPA or HIPAA employ in-house legal and HR teams familiar with PERM filings. These employers are more likely to sponsor green cards than small independent agencies without that infrastructure.
Verify the job description matches a PERM-approvable occupation
Your offered role must align with the DOL's Standard Occupational Classification for Collection Agents. Cross-check the employer's written job duties against the O*NET occupation profile to confirm the description supports a legitimate PERM labor certification.
Use Migrate Mate to find green card sponsoring employers
Search Migrate Mate to identify employers in financial services and healthcare billing who have an active history of EB-2 and EB-3 sponsorship for Collection Agent roles, so you're applying where PERM infrastructure already exists.
Confirm the prevailing wage tier before negotiating your offer
DOL assigns one of four wage levels to your PERM position based on duties and supervision. Use the OFLC Wage Search to check the prevailing wage for Collection Agent in your metro area, so your offer letter meets DOL minimums before the LCA is filed.
Ask your employer about concurrent I-485 filing eligibility
If your priority date is current when the I-140 is approved, you can file for adjustment of status at the same time. For EB-3 Collection Agent roles, check USCIS's monthly Visa Bulletin before your I-140 approval to plan your timeline accurately.
Green Card Collection Agent: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Collection Agent roles qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Most Collection Agent positions qualify under EB-3 as skilled workers, since the role typically requires a minimum of two years of training or experience. If your position requires a bachelor's degree and your employer can document that requirement consistently, EB-2 may be available. Your employer's job description and minimum requirements determine which category applies during the PERM filing.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B sponsorship for Collection Agents?
Unlike H-1B visa, employment-based green card sponsorship through PERM leads to permanent residency rather than a temporary work status. EB-3 has no annual lottery and no fixed expiration tied to employer tenure. The tradeoff is timeline: PERM labor certification alone takes several months, and for some nationalities the priority date backlog adds additional waiting time before you can file for adjustment of status.
What does the PERM labor certification process require from my employer?
Your employer must conduct a formal recruitment campaign demonstrating that no qualified U.S. worker is available for the position. This includes posting the job in prescribed locations, documenting all applicants considered, and filing the ETA-9089 with DOL. The job duties, minimum requirements, and offered wage must all match the PERM-certified position exactly. Any mismatch can result in a denial or audit.
How can I find Collection Agent employers who sponsor green cards?
Use Migrate Mate to search for employers in debt collection, financial services, and healthcare billing who have a documented history of EB-2 and EB-3 sponsorship. Targeting employers who have filed PERM applications before means the HR and legal infrastructure to sponsor you is already in place, which significantly reduces the risk of a sponsorship commitment falling through.
Can my employer start the PERM process while I'm on a work visa?
Yes. PERM labor certification is independent of your current nonimmigrant status. Employers commonly begin the green card process for H-1B or other visa holders while that status remains valid. Filing early matters because your priority date is established when the PERM application is accepted by DOL, and that date determines your place in the EB-3 queue for adjustment of status.
