I help manufactures to become the best of their kind | Digital Transformation at Tesla

Building the first AI Process Engineer for the real world.

IndustrialMind.ai is an early-stage industrial AI startup founded by former Tesla manufacturing AI experts and backed by Antler and leading Silicon Valley VCs. We're on a mission to turn messy manufacturing data and deep process logic into AI-native agents that think like real process engineers—understanding design, monitoring, optimization, and root cause analysis.

We don't believe in incremental improvements. We think in first principles, ship fast, kill bad ideas faster, and chase down hard truths. Our team is a weird mix of builders, thinkers, and factory-floor nerds who believe industrial intelligence is the next frontier of applied AI.

We've already landed partnerships with some of the world's leading manufacturers, tackling high-stakes use cases like :

AI-driven process optimization

Root cause analysis powered by generative models

Real-world feedback loops in complex production lines

What we're looking for

Someone who loves solving hard industrial problems with elegant digital tools. You speak fluent "factory" and "Figma." You're obsessed with customer insight, clarity, and building the right thing fast.

You'll own :

Translating messy real-world pain points into structured AI product specs
Writing PRDs and sketching UX flows that engineers and customers love
Leading cross-functional sprints with design, data, and software teams
Interviewing users on shop floors and distilling insights into iterations
Supporting pre-sales and helping customers go live and stay happy
Keeping an eye on the competitive landscape and emerging industrial AI trends

Ideal background

3+ years shipping products in the industrial stack (Industrial AI, MES, WMS, SCADA, IoT, ERP, etc.)

Strong understanding of real manufacturing processes (bonus if electrical equipment or auto parts)

Experience in building AI / ML applications, especially LLM-based applications

Prior exposure to AI / ML concepts in operations (e.g. predictive maintenance, statistical modeling, LLM applications)

UI / UX intuition and ability to sketch wireframes or flows

Comfortable bridging engineering and customer success

Bonus points if you have

Direct sales / customer-facing experience

Startup or 0-to-1 product building experience

Writing or thought leadership in industrial / AI topics

We're still early—but not too early.

If you want a front-row seat to reshape how factories think, learn, and optimize themselves, come join us.
