Meta is seeking a Site Manager to lead our teleoperation and robotics data collection operations. This role is at the epicenter of our data operations.You will work directly with the operators to oversee collection activities. You ensure the velocity and quality of data and a tight cross-functional feedback loop between AI researchers, hardware and software.

Reality Labs Project Manager, Product Data Operations Responsibilities:

• Floor Operations and Oversight: on-site leadership for data collection. Responsible for providing floor oversight, creating SOPs / ensure adherence, defining and implementing processes to scale throughput and maintain data quality to meet increasing data demands
• Collection Ownership: Serve as the single point of truth for data quality and platform health for the site from a collections perspective. You will define the key performance indicators for "success" and ensure the embodiment is always optimized for collection
• Researcher Partnership & Feedback Loops: Act as the primary on-site interface for AI researchers. You will translate research goals into operational protocols and provide high-signal "closed-loop" feedback to improve data and model performance
• Strategic Communication & Visibility: Proactively surface technical blockers, hardware failures, and process bottlenecks to leadership. You will manage expectations across engineering and research stakeholders, ensuring the roadmap remains on track
• Technical Debugging: You are expected to dive into the logs to understand root causes to any regression in throughput or data quality (leveraging Unix/Linux expertise and scripting (Python/Bash)) and recommending / implementing quick fixes or process changes
• Onsite daily to drive physical operations and manage the local environment
  
  

Minimum Qualifications:

• Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining a Bachelor's degree in a directly related field, or equivalent practical experience. Degree must be completed prior to joining Meta
• Technical Depth: Advanced proficiency in Unix/Linux environments and with experience debugging scripts (Python, Bash) to automate tasks or troubleshoot data pipelines
• Stakeholder Management: Experience navigating the tension between "perfect" research data and "high-volume" operational reality, with the ability to influence research and engineering leaders
• Onsite Leadership: Commitment to being onsite daily to drive physical operations and manage the local environment
• 2+ years of experience in technical project management, with experience in robotics, autonomous vehicles, or hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) environments
• Direct Robotics Ops Experience: Proven track record of managing physical robot fleets or collections with complex hardware. Experience working around active robotic cells and specialized sensors
  
  

Preferred Qualifications:

• Embodied AI Knowledge: Familiarity with the data requirements for large-scale robot learning, including perception, motion planning, and data curation
• Scaling Teleoperation: experience in running and scaling large-scale teleoperation programs (e.g., ALOHA, UMI, or VR-based interfaces) for imitation learning or reinforcement learning
