  • Architect detection-to-case pipelines that route sensing detections into product workflow engines with photo evidence, GPS coordinates, and severity scores.
  • Evaluate, integrate, or build computer-vision and LiDAR-fusion models, including potential consolidation with or extension of the existing Vision AI microservice.
  • Design the data model and storage layer for continuously updated spatial data shared across five Community Operations products.
  • Own the technical design of a tiered sensing-ingestion model covering satellite, fleet-vehicle camera, and full LiDAR survey inputs.
  • Partner with engineering and product leads to sequence the sensing roadmap against product asset taxonomies and compliance requirements.
  • Write technical design documents and review AI-generated code for correctness, security, and architectural fit.
  • Establish testing, monitoring, and data-quality standards for regulatory- and safety-relevant workflows.
