About the Role

As the only physical AI unicorn headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, we go beyond models and dashboards we deploy AI that continuously computes across supply chains, energy systems, and industrial operations. Our Operational Technology platform turns fragmented data into real-time, autonomous decisioning across the systems that power the global economy.

This is not digital AI. This is AI for operational reality where latency, constraints, and failure have real-world consequences.

The Role:

Forward Deployed AI Engineers at Avathon are rewiring how the physical world operates. You will work directly with customers to take the hardest operational problems multi-echelon supply chains, constrained production systems, global logistics networks and turn them into continuously computing, AI-led systems.

You will design, build, and deploy production-grade AI applications that operate across real-world infrastructure where decisions propagate across thousands of nodes in real time.

What you will do: Responsibilities

This role operates with the intensity and ownership of a founder in the field:

  • Own end-to-end delivery of high-stakes deployments in operational environments
  • Design and implement Avathon's Computational Knowledge Graph (CKG) that unify data, constraints, and decisioning, performing continuous computation across physical networks
  • Replace static planning workflows with real-time, autonomous execution applications
  • Work side-by-side with operators, planners, and key stakeholders to define problems and deliver solutions
  • Push systems into production that directly control and influence real-world operations
  • Drive product evolution by feeding field learnings into Avathon's core platform

Preferred Skills

  • Experience building AI/ML applications in production
  • Strong foundation in machine learning, optimization, and system design
  • Exceptional inferencing skills on applying necessary models in the field
  • Demonstrated proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Java, C++, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar
  • Ability to reason complex, interconnected systems (supply chains, networks, infrastructure)
  • Ability to move from problem to architecture to deployment without handoffs

We Value:

  • We value engineers who build systems and tune industrial models
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity, pressure, and high-stakes environments
  • Willingness to work directly with customers and operate in real-world environments
  • Travel to customer sites (up to 50%)

Qualifications:

  • Master's (preferred) or bachelor's degree in science, technology, engineering
  • An active U.S. Government security clearance (preferred)
  • Excellent problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication skills

Compensation & Benefits

  • California Base Salary Range: $130,000 – $180,000 USD (based on experience)
  • Equity in the form of stock options
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
  • 401(k) participation
  • Generous PTO and company holidays
  • Ongoing learning and development opportunities

Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without the need for current or future company sponsorship.

Location: Reporting out of Avathon's HQ in Pleasanton (San Francisco Bay Area), California.
