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
• Design for scalability, reliability, safety, and security in production physical environments

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

Client & Team Leadership

• Act as trusted advisor to client stakeholders on your engagement
• Lead and mentor Senior Consultants and Consultants
• Contribute to proposals and reusable IP

Required Skills & Experience

Experience & Education

• 4-7 years in consulting or equivalent industry roles, with proven ownership of end-to-end physical AI, automation, or intelligent operations solutions - spanning perception, modeling, and execution
• Track record delivering production solutions in real operating environments (manufacturing, warehouse/logistics, industrial operations)
• Bachelor's required; advanced degree preferred

Technical Expertise - the physical AI stack

• Computer vision / vision AI
• Industrial IoT, sensors, and telemetry
• Digital twins and simulation
• Robotics and automation execution
• Cloud data/AI platforms, ML/LLMs, and orchestration as applied to physical operations
• MLOps, monitoring, Responsible AI, and safety practices for physical/robotic systems

Leadership

• Executive communication and client leadership
• Team leadership and coaching
• Strategic thinking with delivery accountability
