Our mission is to build the Covariant Brain, a universal AI to give robots the ability to see, reason, and act on the world around them. Bringing AI from research in the lab to the infinite variability and constant change of our customer’s real-world operations requires new ideas, approaches, and techniques.

Success in the real world requires a team that represents that world: diversity of backgrounds, points of view, and experiences. Our common denominator: ambitious expectations, love of learning, empathy for those around us, and a team-first mindset.

SAMPLE WEEK IN THE LIFE

Monday: Prepare customer facing deck drafts, which you need to align with various internal teams ranging from product, software, hardware and sales. Also prepare a technical workshop with the Covariant hardware team to provide answers on conveyor integration questions for your customer.
Tuesday: Have an alignment call with the product manager and deployment lead to align the timeline, project status and open todos. Based on the info gathered, you condense the relevant information for the customer in an appealing deck, which your customer will share with a wide range of stakeholders within their organization.
Wednesday: Lead and coordinate a technical workshop with the customer, their supplier and our hardware team. Your main task is to facilitate the solution finding process so that Covariant will deliver a high performing AI-robotics station that fits the customer’s needs. Have a weekly call with the project team of another customer and share project updates, take their inputs and write a report for the internal team on what needs to be done.
Thursday: Fruits of your hard work finally pay off - Site Acceptance Test (SAT) is happening and the final moment of truth is about to come. Another AI-robotics station is going live. You travel to a customer site to support SAT, provide a detailed performance metrics report to your client and finally hand off the pilot system to their operations team.
Friday: Update internal project task tracking tools you have created and follow-up with internal teams on the status of their todos. You identify a large risk of delay - think of an action plan that you will align with the Covariant team in the afternoon. Get sign-off from leadership to propose this to the customer the following week.
