  1. What we do

    We are building an AI engineer for the physical world named Archie. We maximize Archie’s anthropomorphism so that he fits seamlessly into existing engineering teams and workflows in the form factor of a human engineer. Our aim is to have an Archie on every engineering team at every major industrial company. Archie today is at the level of a junior mechanical and electrical engineer, with a quantitative intuition over the product design space and the ability to use complex engineering tools——the same tools his human teammates use. Archie's tech stack includes a custom agentic harness, structured design representation, continual skills learning, and small custom post-trained models (SFT and RLVR) using proprietary semi-synthetic training data sets which create a deep competitive moat. We are currently working with design partners and customers in data center engineering (cooling, critical power systems, etc.), and expanding to automotive, aerospace & defense, and other product domains.


  2. How you can get an Archie

    Getting Archies onto your engineering teams is easy. We try to make it feel much like working with an engineering outsourcing provider. If you are interested in seeing if Archie is a match for your engineering organization, please reach out to silvio@p-1.ai.

  5. Some additional materials

  6. We are hiring!

    We are looking for mission-motivated applied AI researchers to join us in our office in the San Francisco Bay Area, and for rockstar engineers and others for remote roles nationwide (in the US and Canada). Note that some roles require security clearance eligiblity. For a list of open roles, see our Ashby page. Please do not send unsolicited e-mails seeking employment. We do not entertain agency inbounds.


  7. Why is it called P-1?

    It's an homage to the AI in the pioneering 1977 sci-fi novel The Adolescence of P-1.
