Pluto AI Labs is an applied AI Lab that builds autonomous systems for businesses of any size. We design and ship agentic and multi-agent solutions that run real business operations in production.

But a large part of how those businesses actually run is physical. Warehouses, plants, fleets, stores. Software can only reach so far into that. So we are starting a robotics and hardware research wing to close the gap between the systems we build and the physical work they are meant to run.

The role

The work spans three connected areas:
- IoT and sensing. Instrumenting physical operations so they produce data. Sensors on machines, vehicles, stock, and spaces, connected reliably enough to be trusted.
- Edge AI. Running perception and decision-making on the device itself, where latency, connectivity, and cost make cloud round-trips impractical.
- Robotics and automation. Motion, actuation, and machines that do physical work, where a problem genuinely calls for one.

The thread through all three is the same: physical systems that talk to our agent layer,



so an AI system can see what is happening on the ground and act on it.

You will work directly with the founders, with real latitude to pick problems and set technical direction.

What you will do ?
- Prototype IoT devices end to end: sensors, microcontrollers, power, connectivity, and the backend they report into.
- Build edge AI into hardware. Run models on-device for vision, detection, counting, and anomaly spotting.
- Design and build electronics and mechanical assemblies where a project needs them. Schematics, PCBs, CAD, printing, assembly.
- Write embedded firmware and the control software above it.
- Connect all of it to our agent systems, so physical signals drive automated decisions and actions.
- Test in real operating environments and rebuild based on what actually breaks.
- Evaluate what is worth building versus buying, and write up what you learn so the wing compounds knowledge.

What makes you a match? ?
