Encode the craft. Fire the future.

We're building physical AI for one of humanity's oldest industries. If you want your work to run on real plant floors and change real margins, we should talk.

Why Porcelio

Work that touches the physical world

This isn't a dashboard. Your models drive presses, robots, and kilns.

Real physical AI

Vision, twins, and agents that control heat, force, and matter, not just pixels.

Measured on outcomes

We ship to hard metrics on downgrades, energy, and yield.

Craft, encoded

Work alongside kiln masters and technologists to capture their judgment.

How we work

Grounded, bounded, proof-driven

We hold ourselves to the same standard as our product: every decision grounded in evidence, every claim backed by a number. We deploy plant-edge, we respect the physics, and we earn the trust of skeptical engineers on real production lines.

  • Ship to real plantsYour work runs on production floors, not demos.
  • Respect the physicsWe build for the reality of clay, glaze, and heat.
  • Earn engineer trustWe win by being auditable, not by being loud.

What we offer

More than a job spec

We're building something rare, here's what you get building it with us.

  • Physical impactYour work changes real margins on real plant floors.
  • GPU-native stackJetson, Omniverse, Triton, Isaac, cuOpt, the full physical-AI toolkit.
  • Domain depthLearn ceramics from the kiln masters whose craft you're encoding.
  • Early ownershipShape the core platform, not a corner of a mature product.
  • Proof cultureWe settle debates with metrics, not opinions.
  • Mission that lastsModernize one of humanity's oldest industries.
Hiring

How we hire

A process built to respect your time and test what matters.

Intro

A conversation about you, the mission, and the fit.

Deep dive

Work through a real problem from the plant floor together.

Meet the team

Talk with the people you'd build alongside.

Offer

Move fast once we both know it's right.

The stack you'll build

Physical AI, end to end

You'll work across perception, simulation, robotics, and optimization on a GPU-native stack.

is where your model is judged

The most interesting AI problems aren't on a screen, they're in the kiln, where the clay decides whether you were right.
