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 new 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 “valuable” 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.
- Partner with Robotics Appl
