Product Engineer, Full Stack
Somerville, NJ - USA
Job Summary
Machines learned to understand language. Were teaching them to understand matter.
Forty percent of global manufacturing happens through physical and chemical processes inside pipes tanks and reactors. Despite decades of industrial automation much of what happens inside them remains remarkably invisible. Manufacturing is the most ubiquitous and foundational sector in global economy yet the way factories are fundamentally run have used the same control philosophies manual operations and legacy software for the past 60 years.
Laminar deploys state-of-the-art patented sensors and edge hardware directly into live production environments generating data that didnt previously exist to build foundation models deployed in factory floors that understand chemistry composition quality and material state in real time. We use that understanding to run autonomy and rethink how things are made.
The last generation of industrial automation taught machines to execute instructions reliably. The next will teach them to understand the processes they control and run autonomously adaptively and agentically: higher quality safety more efficiently sustainably and productively.
That future is already taking shape. Today Laminar works with 7 of the worlds 10 largest food and beverage manufacturers and operates across hundreds of factories globally across six continents. Our systems have materially reduced waste cut manufacturing downtime saved water chemicals energy and helped prevent safety and quality failures. Our technology has gained international recognition from being selected as a 2026 World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer Gold 2026 Edison Award Unilever Startup of the Year to Innovator Awards by both Coca-Cola and AB InBev and more.
We are backed by tier-one investors in physical AI to make intelligent self-improving production the new standard for industry.
Join us to build what makes matter intelligible and the intelligible controllable.
Laminar Insights is where the plant sees what Laminar did and why. Every Laminar Line streams sub-second telemetry into it: what the sensors saw what the model decided and what each run saved in time water chemicals and energy. A factory operator uses it to watch production in progress. A plant manager uses it to defend savings to corporate. An executive uses it to see how their manufacturing footprint is performing. Insights is the platform that makes that telemetry usable. Heres a short explainer video on Insights: are looking for engineers who understand the bigger picture and work across the stack: frontend backend design and everything in between to create great products that users love all the way from customers to forward deployed engineers (FDEs).
- Some broad questions that we are currently thinking deeply about:
- How does Insights pull narratives and trends out of factory operations data
- How should the interface adapt to each facilitys processes
- How do we represent Laminars impact at a plant accurately
- How can we build internal products that are force multipliers for our FDEs
- Collaborate with data science backend forward deployed engineering teams to ideate collect feedback prototype and productionize solutions on Insights that address challenges our customers are facing.
- Work with different customer profiles to build Insights functionalities for their personas and ensure end to end delivery and success of features built.
- Work with engineers FDEs and leadership to identify friction points and build internal products that help FDEs move quickly achieve customer goals and understand the Laminar model stack.
- Deliver polished user-facing features with scalable UI components that help increase the interpretability of our ML models add more observability into the processes running in our customers factories and more.
- Write clean efficient and well-documented code
- Always be on the lookout for how to improve application performance by adopting latest innovations in frontend frameworks optimizing SQL queries or refactoring backend API calls.
- 1-4 years of experience working with customer-facing products.
- Strong proficiency in React/Typescript and experience working with modern frontend tooling.
- Familiarity with Python for data visualizations rapid prototyping
- Strong UX sensibilities and enthusiasm about building features that are performant intuitive and polished
- A self-driven high ownership mentality to first conceptualize the needs of customers with very different business needs and then shipping solutions to production.
- An appreciation for simplicity and pragmatism when building software.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively in a collaborative in-person office in Boston.
- Direct impact on product and culture.
- Comprehensive benefits package including Medical Dental Vision Life Insurance Disability Transportation benefit Health and Wellness benefit and more.

- Transportation benefit for your commute
- A team that celebrates together from rooftop lunches ping pong matches Lunch & Learns and regular team events
- Learn about our startup journey: Our Journey
- How were combating climate change: AI-Powered Climate Tech
- A customer story: Unilever uses Laminar precision automation to cut time & water usage
