Our Ambition Help the West re-industrialize by empowering thousands of manufacturers to engineer hardware products at software speed!
Our Mission Cognyx develops groundbreaking AI technology enabling Manufacturers to unlock a 10x acceleration in time-to-market, standardization level, and right-first-time production. By leveraging Knowledge Graphs and AI, Cognyx transforms hardware engineers' daily work by reconciling Product & Engineering data across different systems, facilitating faster collaboration, and automating engineering tasks.
Our Story Cognyx is a Seed-stage, VC-backed Tech company founded in early 2024 by repeat-Founders Matthias & Deon. We partnered with OSS Ventures, a leading startup studio with outstanding track record in the Manufacturing space. After rapid sales growth from world-class Enterprise logos, Cognyx has secured 10m€+ total funding from top-tier investors in France and Europe, along with renowned Business Angels from Tech and Manufacturing.
Our Values We established 4 cardinal values guiding our Operating philosophy: Speed (AI startups live or die depending how fast they ship), Team work (we will fail or succeed as a group), Excellence (we don’t settle for “mediocre” or “average”), Sincerity (we tell the truth to others, and to ourselves).
Our team Cognyx’s team is ≈ 20-people strong, mostly senior profiles working in-person in Paris. As part of our first employees in Paris, joining us in the early years, your individual contribution will have a decisive impact on our future trajectory. You’ll work directly with experienced Founders who have built successful companies before — an excellent opportunity if you’re looking to grow into a founder or entrepreneur yourself!

Cognyx is an engineering platform that solves complex organizational and technical challenges across the hardware development lifecycle. As a Forward Deployed AI Engineer, you’ll work directly with our enterprise customers to drive Cognyx adoption by deeply understanding their domain Ontology, designing the data + knowledge layer (connectors, normalization, entity resolution, graph modeling), and shipping AI-powered workflows on top of the Cognyx Core Platform (retrieval, reasoning, and automation).
This isn’t a typical SaaS implementation: you'll work directly with our enterprise customers to drive Cognyx adoption by deeply understanding their domain Ontology, configuring the platform to their reality, and shipping AI-powered workflows on top of the Cognyx Core Platform (retrieval, reasoning, and automation). Where our tooling does not yet cover a customer's need, you write the code, and you own it in production..
