Position Summary
LRS Consulting Services is seeking a Boston Dynamics Spot Robotics Specialist for a contract opportunity in St. Louis, MO. You'll be embedded in an innovation team building out a robotics and applied AI program spanning autonomous robot deployment, computer vision, predictive maintenance, and grid-edge technologies. This is hands-on work. You'll program and deploy Spot robots in the field, build and validate ML models from real-world sensor data, and iterate based on what actually happens when the robot meets the infrastructure. If you want to work on cutting-edge robotics and AI that operates in the physical world, not just in a lab, this is the role.
What You Will Do
+ Program, configure, and extend autonomous behaviors for Boston Dynamics Spot, including custom missions and sensor payload integration
+ Develop and validate machine learning models for defect detection, predictive maintenance, and anomaly detection from field-collected imagery and sensor data
+ Build and refine vision-language model (VLM) and RAG-based compliance auditing pipelines
+ Collaborate on data pipelines connecting robotic sensing, fiber optic sensing, and SCADA/IEC 61850 systems for real-time monitoring
+ Conduct field trials across electric and gas infrastructure, troubleshoot hardware/software issues on-site, and iterate based on real-world performance
+ Document technical approaches and communicate findings to both technical and executive stakeholders
Required Qualifications
+ Experience with Boston Dynamics Spot (Spot SDK) or other legged/mobile robotics platforms
+ Experience with computer vision, VLM, or LLM-based systems deployed in production or field settings
+ Proficiency in Python and ML frameworks (PyTorch or TensorFlow)
+ Experience with edge computing and embedded deployment (NVIDIA Jetson, DGX, or similar)
+ Experience with RAG architectures, prompt engineering, and model evaluation
+ Strong written and verbal communication skills
+ Third party candidates will not be considered
+ Sponsorship is not available - candidates must have permanent authorization to work in the United States
Preferred Qualifications
+ Experience deploying robotics or autonomous inspection systems in utility, energy, or industrial infrastructure environments
+ Familiarity with SCADA systems, IEC 61850, or grid-edge technologies
+ Experience with fiber optic sensing or distributed sensor networks
+ Background in predictive maintenance or asset inspection programs
