My client is a Series B funded AI and automation company focused on solving complex problems in heavy industries such as utilities, oil \& gas, logistics, and manufacturing. The company builds end-to-end AI platforms, custom models, and enterprise AI strategies that help organizations optimize operations, reduce downtime, and improve efficiency.

Its solutions include predictive maintenance, supply chain optimization, fleet management, and outage response systems powered by advanced data and machine learning. The company aims to “rebuild the industrial base” by combining deep industry expertise with cutting-edge AI engineering to deliver measurable operational outcomes for large enterprises.

What we’re looking for

• 3\+ years experience (5\+ preferred) building and shipping production AI systems, ideally agentic products
• **You have

Built and shipped products 0- to- 1 at a VC- backed startup (ideally pre- seed to series B).**

• Comfortable working autonomously in a fast-paced, high-intensity environment with high ownership
• Track record building enterprise AI platforms that handle complex, physical-world data (video, IoT, sensor streams)
• Bonus: experience in robotics, autonomous systems or industrial computer vision

What you have done

• Built and shipped agent systems in production with orchestration, tool use, state management and human-in-the-loop workflows
• Worked with physical-world data at scale (RTSP video, time-series telemetry, vibration, thermal, PLC / OPC-UA) under real constraints (noise, drift, latency, alignment)
• Built multimodal AI pipelines combining vision (detection, segmentation, action recognition) with structured operational data
• Designed or contributed to ontology, knowledge graph or structured context systems grounded in real asset hierarchies and processes
• Integrated AI systems with ERP, CMMS, WMS, historians or PLC layers and handled normalization and schema mapping
• Shipped end-to-end systems from ingestion and model serving through backend services (Python, TypeScript) to frontend interfaces

What you will build

• Agent runtime and orchestration across Vision Quality, Predictive Maintenance and Operations Planning agents
• Context assembly from ontology and memory, tool dispatch, approval gates, tracing and cost controls
• Multimodal sensor pipelines: video processing, YOLO / segmentation, FFT feature extraction and cross-sensor correlation
• Industrial ontology / knowledge graph mapping plants, assets, sensors, work orders, materials and maintenance history
• Memory layer including trace storage, playbooks, asset templates and transferable failure pattern libraries
• Operational decision surfaces: dashboards, alerting workflows with evidence, replanning tools and audit trails
• Integration connectors across ERP, CMMS, WMS and PLC systems into a unified schema

Who you are

• Have built AI systems from 0 to production in real environments
• Strong background in AI/ML applied to physical-world systems
• Understand that the hardest problems are in data ingestion, normalization, temporal alignment and ground truth
• Think in terms of production systems: reliability, failure modes, cost and human interaction
• Comfortable operating in a high-intensity, fast-moving environment with significant ownership
• Motivated to work on real-world industrial problems that require both depth and execution

Why candidates should join

Category-defining opportunity: You'll help build the first industrial operating system - there's no real OS for industry yet and this will exist in manufacturing plants and chemical facilities over the next 10-20 years.

Exceptional equity package: Equity pool for employees is double that of the industry standard, with $200k\+ equity value from day one.

Elite team with real industry credibility: Work alongside ex-Palantir engineers including a former VP who oversaw robotics at ABB across 90 markets. Team includes autonomous driving engineers from Audi/Volvo and researchers from Harvard/MIT.

Real-world impact: Connect to incredible amounts of unused industrial sensors and make that data useful for heavy industry and manufacturing - solving problems that matter in the physical world.
