This is a senior, strategic role, working in close partnership with the CEO to shape technology direction, evaluate emerging innovations across IoT, AI, and advanced tech products, and inform high-impact decisions.

You'll bring PhD-level rigor to bear on real business strategy — not academic exercises. This is a role for professionals who want their research expertise to directly influence decision-making at a global technology company.

Key Responsibilities

• Work directly with the CEO on technology strategy, innovation direction, and high-priority research initiatives.
• Lead in-depth research into IoT, AI, and other emerging technologies, industry shifts, and strategic technical opportunities.
• Synthesize complex technical landscapes into clear, decision-ready insights and recommendations.
• Evaluate cutting-edge IoT and AI technologies and innovative solutions with strategic business impact.
• Apply AI-assisted methods to elevate the speed, depth, and quality of research and analysis.
• Collaborate with senior stakeholders across functions to shape and deliver strategic initiatives.
• Uphold the highest standards of intellectual rigor, discretion, and professionalism.

Key Skills

• Advanced research and analytical capability at a doctoral level
• Strong strategic and critical thinking
• Ability to distill complex technical subject matter for senior audiences
• Experience preparing high-level reports, briefings, and presentations
• Sound, research-driven judgment and decision-making
• Strong leadership presence and cross-functional influence
• Comfort operating independently on high-ownership, high-visibility assignments
• Exceptional attention to detail and quality

Qualifications

• PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE), Telecommunications, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Strong research, academic, or professional track record; published research, technical projects, or demonstrated subject-matter expertise is a plus.
• Proven ability to work independently and think strategically in a global remote environment.
• Own laptop/PC with reliable internet connection.

Why This Role?

• Direct, ongoing collaboration with the CEO on strategic technology decisions
• High-impact, senior-level assignments across IoT, AI, and emerging tech
• A platform to apply your PhD-level expertise to real, consequential technology and innovation challenges
• Global exposure
• Deep, hands-on engagement with AI, IoT, and emerging technologies
• Leadership visibility and cross-functional influence
• Structured opportunities for professional growth
• 100% remote work environment
