Overview
Full transparency: we work a little differently around here.

This isn’t just another job where you punch in and punch out. We come to work every day because we strive to earn a living in a meaningful way. Too many people exist without finding joy or purpose in their work, and we believe that’s just wrong. After all, we spend at least a third of our lives working—so why not create workplaces where people want to come to work in the morning and feel good when they leave at the end of the day?

At Protocase, your ideas don’t just matter—they shape our future. We thrive on collaboration and innovation, where every voice is heard, valued, and makes a real impact. Does this sound like something you’d want to be a part of and help grow?

Protocase specializes in custom sheet metal enclosures, panels, and parts for engineers and innovators worldwide, built with unmatched speed and quality. We take the impossible and make it possible for some of the brightest minds on the planet.

About Us
Established in 2001, Protocase Inc. combines advanced software with innovative manufacturing to deliver custom sheet metal parts to engineers and innovators worldwide—in as fast as 2–3 days. With 400+ employees and over 16,000 customers (including NASA, Google, Apple, and Tesla), we’ve built a system designed for speed, precision, and continuous improvement.

We’re not a traditional manufacturer—our entire operation is built on rethinking how things should work. That same mindset is now driving our next evolution: using AI to transform how the business runs from end to end.

About the Opportunity
We’re building an AI team from the ground up to transform how our entire company operates—from sales to production—and we need builders, designers, and systems thinkers to make it real.

This isn’t one role—it’s a team.

Not sure which role fits you best? Start here:

If you love building and shipping fast → AI Systems Developer

If you think in systems and design how everything connects → AI Systems Architect

If you care about performance, scale, and infrastructure → AI Infrastructure Engineer

AI Systems Developer (Builder / Execution)
Take ideas and turn them into working systems—fast. Build AI-powered tools that automate workflows, reduce manual work, and improve how the business runs day-to-day.

Build AI workflows using APIs, automation tools, and internal systems

Rapidly prototype → test → deploy → iterate

Turn real business problems into usable tools

Integrate AI into sales, production, logistics, and customer workflows

AI Systems Architect (Strategy / Design / Scale)
Design how everything fits together. Ensure what we build scales, connects, and drives real business results—not just technical output.

Design end-to-end AI systems and data flows

Define where AI should (and shouldn’t) be used

Translate business strategy into AI roadmaps

Set standards for tools, prompts, data, and system design

AI Infrastructure Engineer (Performance / Compute / Reliability)
Own the systems that power everything. Make sure everything runs fast, reliably, and cost‑effectively.

Design and manage compute (GPU/CPU, cloud vs local)

Optimize performance, latency, and cost per request

Build internal AI infrastructure and environments

Ensure systems scale and don’t break under load

Across all roles, you will:

Turn real business problems into working AI solutions

Build, integrate, and improve systems across departments

Focus on speed, usability, and real‑world adoption

Continuously improve how we use AI across the company

About You
We’re not looking for one type of person—we’re building a team. Whether you’re a builder, a strategist, or an infrastructure expert, you should see yourself in at least one of these areas.

What you have in common:

A builder mindset—you ship and improve, not just plan

Systems thinking—you understand how things connect, not just how they work in isolation

Curiosity and a willingness to experiment

Comfort working in ambiguity and solving real business problems

What sets you apart (depending on your role):
Technical Skills

Strong coding…
