Living lab for AI

Job summary

NCS Group seeks an AI Product Engineer to design and develop systems enabling AI to perceive, reason, and act in physical space within real workplaces. You will build AI-native stacks, prototype solutions, and translate customer needs into technical requirements for live deployments.

You’ll work on perception, planning, and control for robotic agents, leverage ROS/ROS2, and contribute to a dynamic living lab that blends sensors, vision, and IoT data into actionable spatial understanding.

Qualifications

• AI-native by default — you reach for models, agents, and learned systems as your primary design tool.
• Demonstrated experience architecting AI-driven systems.
• Exposure to physical/spatial AI or robotics — perception, SLAM/mapping, sensor fusion, robot planning/control, or spatial computing such as Gaussian splatting.
• Experience building evaluation frameworks/harnesses for AI systems.
• Strong engineering fundamentals — Python, C++, APIs; data pipelines; robotics tooling such as ROS/ROS2.
• Operates independently within a small squad and embraces a product mindset.

Responsibilities

• Join an AI product team with the mission to create a living lab for physical AI.
• Architect the AI-driven stack end to end, and build with AI-native tools and workflows.
• Translate customer vision and challenges into technical requirements and innovate on solutioning.
• Develop prototypes and proofs of concept.
• Engage users and clients across the product lifecycle.
• Design spatial intelligence systems: turn sensor, vision, and IoT data into a live understanding of space; occupancy, locations, environmental state, and spatial relationships.
• Develop and integrate physical AI/robotics systems — perception, planning, and control for robots and autonomous agents, leveraging ROS/ROS2 where possible.

Job description

Job Description

As an AI Product Engineer, you will design and develop the systems that let AI perceive, reason about, and act in physical space — turning buildings into intelligent, responsive environments for robots and people.

What You’ll Do

• Join an AI product team with the mission to create a living lab for physical AI.
• Architect the AI-driven stack end to end, and build with AI-native tools and workflows.
• Translate customer vision and challenges into technical requirements and innovate on solutioning.
• Develop prototypes and proofs of concept.
• Engage users and clients across the product lifecycle.
• Design spatial intelligence systems: turn sensor, vision, and IoT data into a live, structured understanding of physical space — occupancy, object/asset location, environmental state, and spatial relationships between people, rooms, and equipment.
• Develop and integrate physical AI / robotics systems: perception (vision, sensor fusion), planning, and control for robots and autonomous agents operating in real workplace environments — working with existing robotics stacks (e.g., ROS/ROS2) rather than building from scratch where possible.

What You’ll Own

• Driving an active, high-velocity living lab for physical AI.
• Prototypes and roadmap — from 6-week sprints to 24-month bets.
• Demos and POCs to showcase, test, and gather feedback for iteration.
• POVs and approach for adapting and applying physical AI across the living lab.

Qualifications

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone AI-native — who reaches for a model, an agent, or a learned system as the default design tool.

• AI-native by default — you reach for models, agents, and learned systems as your primary design tool.
• Demonstrated experience architecting AI-driven systems.
• Exposure to physical/spatial AI or robotics — perception, SLAM/mapping, sensor fusion, robot planning/control, or spatial computing such as Gaussian splatting.
• Experience building evaluation frameworks/harnesses for AI systems.
• Strong engineering fundamentals as the supporting layer — Python, C++, or similar; APIs; data pipelines; comfort with robotics tooling (e.g., ROS/ROS2).
• Operates independently within a small squad.
• A practitioner of the product mindset.
• A solid team player with a sense of adventure.

Additional Information

Why Join NCS
