ELON Musk is on the hunt for someone to pretend to be a robot and walk around all day.
The tech billionaire could pay you almost $100,000 (£77,000) a year for the bizarre job, which is designed to train its Tesla humanoid robot, Optimus.
A job listing has been spotted on the electric car giant’s website looking for a “data collection operator”.
The job description reveals that the lucky employee will have to walk a pre-determined test route daily for data collection.
They will be expected to be on the move for more than seven hours each shift while carrying up to 30lb.
“Must have the ability to stand, sit, walk, stoop, bend, reach, crouch, and twist throughout the day,” it states.
Workers also need to wear and operate a motion capture suit and VR headset for “extended periods of time” and warns that the device can be disorienting, potentially leading to result in “VR sickness symptoms”.
The listing states that you’ll also need to be between 5’7’’ and 5’11’’ tall to be up for the job.
Collecting data, as well as helping with engineering requests and reporting any issues with the equipment are the main objectives of the role.
Tesla, which is owned by Musk, 53, is offering from $25.25 to $48.00/hour.
