- Uphold the highest standards of intellectual rigor, discretion, and professionalism.

- Ability to distill complex technical subject matter for senior audiences
- Experience preparing reports, briefings, or presentations is a plus
- Sound, research-driven judgment and decision-making
- Willingness to engage and collaborate across functions
- Comfort taking ownership of assignments and working independently
- Good attention to detail and quality

Qualifications

- PhD (completed, or in the final stages of completion) in Computer Science, Engineering, Technology, or a related technical, scientific, or research-based field.
- Research, academic, or professional experience relevant to technology, innovation, or emerging tech; published research or technical projects are a plus but not required.
- Ability to work independently in a global remote environment.
- Access to a laptop/PC and reliable internet connection.

Why This Role?

- Direct, ongoing collaboration with the CEO on strategic technology decisions
- High-impact, senior-level assignments across IoT, AI, and emerging tech
- A platform to apply your PhD-level expertise to real, consequential technology and innovation challenges
- Global exposure
- Deep, hands-on engagement with AI, IoT, and emerging technologies
- Leadership visibility and cross-functional influence
- Structured opportunities for professional growth
- 100% remote work setting
