ROLE SUMMARY
This is the sensor and perception authority at the top of our robotics solutioning funnel. When a client requirement comes in — egocentric data collection, teleoperation, field deployment — you are the person who determines what a given sensing setup can actually produce, whether it meets the requirement (sub-centimeter positional accuracy, hand-keypoint fidelity, a usable 3D mesh), and, when it doesn't, what device or configuration will.
You are deliberately device-agnostic: XR headsets (e.g., Pico), optical/mocap suits (e.g., OptiTrack), data gloves, depth cameras, and IMU-based rigs are all fair game — you reason about the feed, the geometry, and the physics behind it rather than any single product. You work shoulder-to-shoulder with Product, Engineering, and Solutions to certify device feeds for pilots before we commit to a client, and you keep scanning the market so we adopt current sensing hardware ahead of demand, not behind it.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Own sensor and perception feasibility for incoming robotics and Physical AI requirements — given a target outcome,



determine which sensors and configurations can meet it, and specify what “good” looks like at the data level (accuracy, coverage, frame, sync).
Certify device feeds during pilots — validate whether a device delivers the required signal (sub-centimeter tracking, hand keypoints, 3D mesh) against ground-truth expectations, and surface gaps early, before delivery commits.
Stay device-agnostic across XR headsets, optical/mocap suits, data gloves, depth cameras, and IMU rigs; evaluate and onboard new sensing hardware as it reaches the market and brief the team on what it changes.
Translate sensor capabilities and limits into recommendations Product, Engineering, and Solutions can act on — and into language clients understand.
Run and interpret sensor calibration and characterization — intrinsic/extrinsic, multi-sensor alignment, drift/noise, coordinate frames.
