telus-digital - Roboticist, Client Consulting & Solutions
Requirements
• Background in robotics, mechatronics, robotics engineering, or a closely related technical field. • Experience in robotics ML, computer vision, or technical solutions engineering, with a track record of shipping to production. • Demonstrated client-facing or presales experience on robotics, automation, or embodied-AI programs, combined with strong hands-on build/deploy experience — this role both advises and ships. • Strong computer vision and perception (detection, segmentation, pose estimation, optical flow) and 3D geometry (SE(3), camera models, projection, coordinate frames). • Sensor calibration and fusion, including LiDAR–camera, plus LiDAR processing; and sim-to-real experience (Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, Gazebo, or Unity Robotics Hub). • Conceptual grasp of VLA architectures and the current SOTA landscape; strong Python (PyTorch), able to read and implement research papers. • Strong working knowledge of current robotics and embodied-AI industry trends, data collection methods, and deployment models. • Proven ability to translate technical detail into business-relevant recommendations for non-technical stakeholders. • Comfortable operating cross-functionally across Commercial, Solutions, Operations, and Quality teams. • Experience supporting global or multi-region client engagements preferred. • Hands-on experience with multi-camera systems, including calibration, synchronization, and tracking. • Solid grounding in computer vision fundamentals — object detection, pose estimation, segmentation, sensor fusion — and their application to robotic perception. • Ability to read and critically interpret state-of-the-art technical reports published by frontier labs developing general-purpose humanoid and non-humanoid robots. • Willingness and ability to travel to data collection sites (globally) as needed to support engagements. • Technical Stack • Python (PyTorch) · OpenCV, Open3D, PCL · Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, Gazebo, Unity Robotics Hub · ROS/ROS2 · VLA models (RT-2, OpenVLA, π₀, Octo), ViTs, multimodal · REST/gRPC, Docker, PostgreSQL; TensorRT/ONNX for edge.
Responsibilities
• Strategic Client Advisory & Co-Design: Act as the primary robotics subject-matter advisor in client conversations — assessing what a client is trying to achieve and recommending the approach, equipment, and program design most likely to get them there, rather than defaulting to a standard offering (co-design & iterate). • Hands-on Solution Build: Design and build the CV and perception systems — detection, segmentation, pose estimation — on the 3D geometry underneath (SE(3), camera models, projection, coordinate frames), and own sensor calibration and fusion (intrinsic/extrinsic, hand-eye, LiDAR–camera) and LiDAR processing. • Data Pipelines & Models: Design egocentric data-collection pipelines (head/wrist cameras, depth, IMU) for robot learning; evaluate, integrate, and fine-tune VLA models under data and compute constraints; and build supporting services (REST/gRPC, PostgreSQL) to expose model inference and robotics services. • Outcome-Based Scoping: Partner with clients to define success up front, then shape program scope, staffing models, and equipment needs around that outcome — pushing back where a client's initial ask won't get them the result they want. • Robotics Domain Leadership: Bring deep knowledge of the robotics and Embodied-AI landscape (hardware, data collection, simulation, and emerging models) to turn technical trends into actionable client solutions. • Technical Bridge & Scoping Alignment: Serve as the connective layer between client technical requirements and our internal delivery teams — ensuring what's scoped with the client is translated into specifications Operations, Solutions, and Quality can actually execute, and that internal technical constraints or trade-offs are surfaced back to the client accurately and early. • Commercial Support & Development: Identify and help shape new robotics-related opportunities within existing and prospective client accounts, acting as technical credibility in front of clients alongside Commercial. • Field Execution & Technical feedback loop: Own real-time technical feedback on equipment, calibration, and field performance during pilots and live programs, escalating issues before they affect client-facing quality, timelines, or SLA standards.
