Industrial Designer

CYVL is a Physical AI company on a mission to bring Infrastructure Intelligence to every city town and community on the planet. We help governments plan build and maintain the physical infrastructure that people depend on every day (roads sidewalks bridges utilities and more) better than ever before.

We pioneered an end-to-end approach that combines purpose-built hardware computer vision cloud data pipelines and AI to transform raw LiDAR and imagery into a living structured understanding of the built world. Our platform turns what used to take months of manual inspection into actionable intelligence thats easy for any agency to use saving cities time money and resources across hundreds of communities nationwide.

At CYVL were building toward a future where every piece of public infrastructure on Earth is captured understood and continuously monitored so the agencies responsible for it and the residents who rely on it can make better decisions faster. Thats the power of Physical AI applied to the real world.
