Remote Roboticist: Client Strategy & Field Deployments

TELUS Digital; United States; Remote; USD 120,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

TELUS Digital seeks a seasoned Roboticist to advise robotics and embodied-AI clients globally, guiding program design and data collection while aligning client goals with practical execution across engagements.

You will bridge client visions with internal teams—Commercial, Solutions, Operations, and Quality—driving multi-account programs and ensuring field performance meets expectations.

Qualifications

• Background in robotics, mechatronics, robotics engineering, or a closely related technical field.
• Demonstrated experience advising or consulting with clients on robotics, automation, or embodied-AI programs — not solely hands-on build/deploy experience.
• 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.
• 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.

Responsibilities

• Act as the primary robotics subject-matter advisor in client conversations — assessing client goals and recommending approach, equipment, and program design.
• Define success up front and shape scope, staffing models, and equipment needs around that outcome.
• Bring deep knowledge of robotics and Embodied-AI to translate trends into actionable client solutions.
• Serve as the bridge between client requirements and internal delivery teams to ensure feasible execution.
• Identify and help shape new robotics-related opportunities within accounts alongside Commercial.
• Own real-time technical feedback on equipment, calibration, and field performance during pilots and live programs.
