Job Description
We have a position for a Lead Ontologist that will drive PassiveLogic’s Digital Twin technology and ontology standard for physics-based autonomous systems. You will be the primary owner of the company’s data models, database schema, serializations, and APIs. You will help develop semantic protocol mappings from our Digital Twin standard to industry network protocols.
While this is an applied engineering position, you will also engage with industry partners, national labs, government agencies, and industry standard bodies to help fulfill our goal to build an industry standard around our Digital Twin definition.
