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.
