Robotic, AI-driven manufacturing of AI and data center server hardware
Bright Machines builds automated factory capacity for AI and data center infrastructure, pairing industrial controls (Beckhoff TwinCAT 3, Fanuc, Cognex, Keyence) with a cloud-native ML stack (PyTorch, CUDA, TensorRT, Kubernetes, ArgoCD). Job posts point to Mexican customs work (IMMEX, Annex 24) reconciled in NetSuite, signaling cross-border production. Hiring is accelerating and split evenly between engineering and manufacturing.
