Co-Founder/ CTO
Optima
Co-FounderAbout the Company/Team
We live in a manufactured world. Everything around us is born in a factory. Factories are the engine rooms of civilization they power our daily lives, drive our economies, and unlock the future from clean energy to multiplanetary life. But the way we build hasn’t evolved. Factories remain slow, rigid, and blind. They generate more data than almost any modern system, yet remain untouched by real intelligence. I’ve spent a decade inside the belly of the beast—Tesla, Apple, Rivian. The tools we used to build the future? Broken. Manual. Tribal. It doesn’t have to be this way. We’re changing that. I’m building the brain of the factory a living, learning, AI-native operating system that makes manufacturing think, adapt, and optimize itself. This is the machine that builds the machine finally having its AI GPT moment. It’s a once-in-a-generation challenge. Our founding team and adivsors comes from Tesla, Apple, and Rivian, with deep roots at MIT, Harvard, and Stanford. But to build something truly transformative, we need a mind bold enough to match the vision.
About the Role
I’m looking for a rare kind of co-founder. Not just someone who writes great code or trains great models but someone who wants their life’s work to move atoms, not just pixels. To reimagine the systems that shape civilization. If this stirs something in you, let’s talk.
