Cortex AIC is the AI-native industrial controller that works in place of the PLC. Describe control logic in plain English, deploy deterministic real-time Python, and get the IDE, HMI, historian, and data streaming built in. Zero runtime licenses. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
You’ll work directly with our three-person engineering team, including both founders, to take customer automation projects from requirements to working machines. As a Forward Deploy Electrical Engineer, you’ll own electrical and automation design, build practical solutions across mechanical and electrical boundaries, write application code, and commission deployments on the factory floor. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Design electrical schematics, control-panel layouts, wiring diagrams, and BOMs for customer machines, from 24 VDC I/O to 480 V three-phase loads
- Build and integrate panels, sensors, actuators, motors, drives, remote I/O, HMIs, and safety circuits into working systems
- Write and test Python-based controls applications for pilots and deployments in Neuron’s development environment
- Commission systems at customer sites through point-to-point checkout, I/O validation, tuning, failure testing, and safety verification
- Troubleshoot electrical, communications, and application issues at the machine, using instruments and software diagnostics to isolate root causes
- Own the customer handoff with clear operating documentation, troubleshooting guidance, and communication about deployment progress and unresolved issues
More about this role
America deserves abundance.
Neuron Industries is rebuilding industrial automation from the hardware up. We’re building Cortex AIC, an AI-native industrial controller, and Synapse, the development environment engineers use to program, test, deploy, and debug it.
We build the hardware and software together. Our work makes industrial systems easier to develop and dependable on the factory floor.
Come help us build the next generation of American manufacturing.
