Position Overview: Wayfinders Managing Consultant – Physical AI

Managing Consultants are senior delivery leaders and system owners responsible for end-to-end solution architecture, engineering rigor, and client success on individual Physical AI engagements. Physical AI describes systems that perceive the physical world (sensors, cameras, connectivity), reason about it (AI/ML, simulation, digital twins), and act on it (robotics, automation) — think computer vision-guided quality inspection, predictive maintenance from sensor telemetry, or a digital twin that simulates a warehouse before automation goes live.

You'll own architecture and delivery for a single complex engagement at a time, working hands-on across the stack without necessarily being the primary engineer.

Key Responsibilities

Architecture & System Ownership

• Define end-to-end architecture for your engagement, spanning perception, modeling/simulation, and robotics/automation execution
• Decide when to apply rules-based logic, ML, computer vision, LLMs, or hybrid approaches

Engineering & Delivery Leadership

• Set engineering standards, CI/CD, and testing practices for models, edge systems, and automation logic
• Oversee deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management of systems running in physical environments
• Uphold Responsible AI, safety, and governance standards throughout

Platform & Integration

• Make platform tradeoffs (data/AI platforms, digital twin tools, edge compute, robotics orchestration)
• Integrate physical AI systems with enterprise platforms (ERP, MES/SCADA, supply chain) and physical execution systems

• Lead and mentor Senior Consultants and Consultants
• Contribute to proposals and reusable IP

• Bachelor's required; advanced degree preferred
