Family Description

Pure Research (PR) comprises fundamental systematic research of exploratory nature for the development of new products and services as well as disruptive technologies superseding conventional approaches. In contrast to applied R&D, PR covers the provision of a comprehensive understanding of scientific insights without directed application towards products, policies, or operational processes.

Subfamily Description

We are looking to develop intuitive and efficient environmental and contextually aware interactions in the metaverse/omniverse with what is perceivable and what is not easily perceivable (e.g. physical phenomena, state of digital systems, planned robot paths/missions, etc.) to allow more optimal performance in the physical world including navigation, human and human/robotic interaction, & efficient operation specifically in industrial/medical environments.

Creation and real time dynamic digital representation of physical spaces and objects, AI/ML modelling, IoT sensors, data fusion, and the efficient data exchange between the physical and digital are some of the related areas of research.  We anticipate that this position could encompass aspects of computer vision, front end data display and user data comprehension/ingestion, and spatial computing,

Our collaborative work process combines research, algorithm development, system-level design, and hands-on experimentation to develop end-to-end prototypes that operate robustly in the real world.
 

Impact

Impact is short-term through individual and team contributions. Scope is primarily within own subject area in a function/unit. Actions and errors impact on program, project or function. Provides measurable input into new products, processes, standards or operational plans in support of the organisation's business strategies, with some impact on business unit/ function overall results.

Scope & Contribution

Individual Contributor: Operates autonomously in own subject area. Can analyze, develop and implement concepts and solutions as a subject matter expert. Increased awareness of and involvement outside of own subject area. Distills big picture. Makes decisions about and prioritizes own work. Managerial/Supervisory: Clear managerial responsibilities for people. Typically first level of solid line management. Interprets policies. Ensures existing plans are put into operation. Executes and/or oversees processes to meet customer needs. Responsible for analysis, design & development of policies, plans, programs. 

Innovation

Carries out specialized activities/projects according to general direction. Influences others to support decisions. Works mostly independently. Analyze situations or data that requires review of relevant factors. Solutions can often be checked and proved. Demonstrates success in multiple roles and is adaptable to manage complex changing business environments.

Communication

Communicates with parties within and outside of own job function and teams, and typically has responsibilities for communicating with parties external to the organization, which may include customers or vendors. Works to influence others to accept job function’s view/practices and agree/accept new concepts, practices, and approaches. Has cross-cultural knowledge and global mindset Requires ability to communicate with executive leadership regarding matters of significant importance to the organization. May conduct briefings with senior leaders within the job function. May at times be required to negotiate regarding operational issues.

Knowledge & Experience

Management Experience / Achieved well-advanced skills of a specific professional discipline combining deep knowledge of theory and organizational practice or expertise. Recognized expert in their field (depth & breadth). Typically requires 5-8 years extensive relevant experience and/or a graduate / postgraduate equivalent degree.
