P-1 AI is a company building an engineering AGI called Archie — an AI engineer designed to perform quantitative and spatial reasoning over physical product domains at the level of an entry-level design engineer. The company targets industrial OEMs, using large-scale physics-based, supply-chain-informed synthetic datasets and multi-physics models to automate concept generation, design tradeoffs, and tool-driven detailed design. P-1 AI recently closed a $23M seed round and is hiring applied AI researchers and engineers to deploy Archie as a productivity tool across engineering teams.

📋 Description

• Build and execute the strategy for P-1 AI's expansion into aerospace & defense, including customer acquisition, partnerships, market positioning, and long-term growth. • Own the P&L for the aerospace & defense business, including revenue targets, growth initiatives, budgeting, and operational performance. • Build relationships with engineering leaders, executives, program managers, and government stakeholders across aerospace & defense primes, startups, and government customers. • Identify, negotiate, and manage strategic partnerships that accelerate customer acquisition, program execution, and data access. • Work closely with customers and forward deployed engineers to translate real-world engineering problems into product requirements and new capabilities for Archie. • Stand up the people, processes, and systems required to operate in regulated defense environments, including ITAR, NISPOM, and other industrial security requirements. • Build the foundations of P-1 Defense, including team structure, customer workflows, and operating rhythms as the business scales.

🎯 Requirements

• You've owned P&L for a business unit, startup, or major program. • You've taken products, programs, or books of business from 0→1 (and ideally 0→10). • You've negotiated and closed complex deals involving multiple stakeholders and long sales cycles. • You can credibly engage with engineers, operators, executives, and government customers without changing who you are in the room. • You've built and maintained senior relationships across defense primes, government organizations, or strategic industry partners. • You’re fluent in modern AI and have relationships across the AI ecosystem. • You move with exceptional urgency, autonomy, and a strong bias toward action. • You're eligible for a US government security clearance. An existing clearance is a plus.
