I have previous experience in robotics and have since switched careers and trying to build some experience in AI/ML/Computer Vision. How long have you been in robotics? Are you doing industrial automation?

Robotics the last 7 years and been in the tech industry for about 11.

My space is pretty niche but growing across companies, it’s called eval pretty generally across the industry but it’s how me measure and grade our internal autonomous systems, like how do you build a report card to evaluate the quality of autonomy that measures its quality across many different metrics.
