Machines learned to understand language. We’re teaching them to understand matter.
Forty percent of global manufacturing happens through physical and chemical processes inside pipes, tanks, and reactors. Despite decades of industrial automation, much of what happens inside them remains remarkably invisible. Manufacturing is the most ubiquitous and foundational sector in global economy, yet the way factories are fundamentally run have used the same control philosophies, manual operations, and legacy software for the past 60 years.
Laminar deploys state-of-the-art patented sensors and edge hardware directly into live production environments, generating data that didn’t previously exist to build foundation models deployed in factory floors that understand chemistry, composition, quality, and material state in real time. We use that understanding to run autonomy and rethink how things are made.
The last generation of industrial automation taught machines to execute instructions reliably. The next will teach them to understand the processes they control and run autonomously, adaptively, and agentically: higher quality, safety, more efficiently, sustainably, and productively.
That future is already taking shape. Today, Laminar works with 7 of the world’s 10 largest food and beverage manufacturers and operates across hundreds of factories globally across six continents. Our systems have materially reduced waste, cut manufacturing downtime, saved water, chemicals, energy, and helped prevent safety and quality failures. Our technology has gained international recognition, from being selected as a 2026 World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer, Gold 2026 Edison Award, Unilever Startup of the Year, to Innovator Awards by both Coca-Cola and AB InBev, and more.
We are backed by tier-one investors in physical AI to make intelligent, self-improving production the new standard for industry.
Join us to build what makes matter intelligible, and the intelligible controllable.
The Role
We're hiring a Head of Deployments to build and run the organization and operating system that takes every Laminar deployment from signed commitment to successful completion against the agreed account success criteria — predictably, repeatably, and at increasing scale. You own the deployment portfolio, the team that delivers it, and the speed and quality of execution across customers, plants, and geographies.
You will build the people, leaders, processes, playbooks, partners, KPIs, resource model, and operating cadence that allow the team to manage many deployments in parallel without bottlenecks. You will set goals, forecast capacity, allocate resources, review project portfolio health, remove systemic blockers, and step into strategic customer situations or escalations when your involvement materially changes the outcome.
You bring plant-floor credibility and executive presence, with a practical understanding of how industrial technology gets installed, integrated, validated, and adopted in complex manufacturing environments. You will use that experience to make Laminar's deployment model increasingly standardized, partner-enabled, efficient, and ready to scale from individual lines to global enterprise rollouts. You will partner closely with the Value Realization team so each deployment is delivered in a way that enables the agreed customer outcomes to be measured and validated.

Why This Matters
Laminar is already deploying across six continents. The next constraint on growth is whether we can deploy faster, more predictably, and at far greater scale. The Head of Deployments will turn deployment from a collection of successful projects into a repeatable global capability. Success means more deployments completed on time, consistent attainment of agreed success criteria, greater team capacity, and a model that scales without requiring the Head of Deployments in every project.
