AGI is building OpenAI for Physics. We’re an AI startup based in San Francisco backed by Elad Gil (#1 Solo VC), Eric Schmidt (former Google CEO), Prith Banerjee (ANSYS CTO), Ion Stoica (Databricks Founder), and other world-class investors. We’re building foundation AI models for physics that enable end-to-end industrial automation from initial design through optimization, validation, and production.

We’re assembling a high-velocity team of relentless researchers and engineers who will define the next generation of AI for industrial engineering. If you’re organized, detail-oriented, and excited about supporting a world-class recruiting function at a fast-growing startup, we want to hear from you.
