Build the nervous system of the physical world.

AFFERENT's work crosses disciplines that rarely share a room: industrial hardware, embedded systems, machine learning, cloud software and the design of physical products. If that combination interests you, we would like to know you.

What the work is like

We build physical products, and physical products are unforgiving. A decision made in mechanical design shows up months later in sensor data. A choice in firmware determines what a model can learn. People here work across those boundaries daily, and the work rewards those who are curious about the disciplines next to their own.

What we look for

  • Rigor about the physical world. A preference for measuring over assuming.
  • Range. Depth in one field and real interest in the adjacent ones.
  • Candor. The habit of saying plainly what is known, what is suspected and what is not yet understood.
  • Patience. Infrastructure is built over years. We want people who find that appealing.
