Member of Technical Staff, Frontend

Physical AI will decide the balance of power for the next century. It runs on components built by Original Component Manufacturers at the base of America's most critical supply chains. The bottleneck isn’t workforce, it’s workflow, which AIC solves by deploying our software operating system to unlock trapped capacity in the companies we acquire by empowering the talented operators who have built those enterprises.

AIC is a software-led industrial holding company. We built our operating system on a proprietary framework called Decision Physics™. Our team deploys on-site to modernize the decision-making infrastructure that changes what a factory can do. We don’t sell SaaS.

Our mission is to secure America's position as the global leader in physical AI. We call ourselves Software Industrialists. We run toward complexity, not away from it. If that's how you see the world, AIC is where you belong.

*Please note this is an onsite role. It will be based out of our Brooklyn Navy Yard HQ or El Segundo office 5x a week.

What you'll do:

• Embed on-site with design partners and manufacturers for meaningful stretches of the year — their floor is your second office.

• Build trust across the full vertical, from the GM to the technician running the station. Software and hardware deployed without this trust doesn't get adopted.

• Develop genuine understanding of how each partner's shop works and why — the history, constraints, people, and physics of what moves through it.

• Translate unstructured observation into concrete requirements, then build, ship, and maintain the software yourself and through the other technical staff you coordinate on-site and at HQ.

• Write production code across the full stack — data model, ETL, backend, frontend, algorithms, hardware integrations, ML pipelines, analyses, and infrastructure. Everyone wears all the hats at various points in time.

• Set the standard for frontend work across the team: component architecture, design system, TypeScript conventions, and the patterns in our codebase that other technical staff build on.

• Design and build the interfaces AIC OS runs through, both hardware & software.

• Run the process-engineering side of deployment — sequencing software changes with operational changes so the two evolve in lockstep, including the cultural work: training, change management, work instructions, quiet one-on-ones with skeptics.

• Own outcomes, not deliverables. Success is measured in operational maturity and financial outcomes gained by the partner, not features shipped.

Who you are:

• 2+ years of experience software engineering in a fast and collaborative production environment

• Very strong React and TypeScript fundamentals: rendering behavior, state architecture, the type system, and best practices in data-intensive frontend applications.

• A great eye for visual design: workflow, layout, typography, hierarchy, color, motion, and the ability to make those calls yourself without a designer in the loop

• Strong communication/stakeholder management skills

• Experience with data modeling, ETL, system and API design, frontend, algorithms, hardware integration, data science, applied math, operations research, statistics, machine learning, devOps, or infrastructure

What we have:

• Medical, Dental, Vision benefits

• Unlimited PTO Policy

• $180-$250k + equity

• Relocation assistance

Nice to Have

• Graduate education in computer science, statistics, applied mathematics, applied physics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field

• Track record leading technical projects, especially in a customer-facing role

• Previous startup experience

• A portfolio of shipped interfaces: products, games, internal tools, or visualizations

• Time in the video game industry is a big plus

• Hard-tech, robotics, and manufacturing background is a big plus
