Careers
1872 is building a new foundation for American manufacturing. If you care about end-to-end systems, hard problems, and work that shows up in the physical world, you're in the right place.
why 1872
We're building manufacturing
systems from the ground up.
Software, automation, and physical production operate as one; not optimized around the edges of an outdated model. At 1872, you'll work on problems that matter.
01
Scale Through Software
Building factories that scale through software, not headcount.
02
Deterministic Process
Replacing tribal knowledge with deterministic, repeatable processes.
03
Real-World Output
Designing systems that move steel, not just pixels.
How We Work
Work alongside a small, senior team building software-defined manufacturing systems and take ownership of work that shows up in the real world
People who thrive at 1872 are comfortable working across disciplines and taking ownership of real outcomes. Our work sits at the intersection of software, automation, and physical production — we value systems thinking over silos. Titles matter less than capability. Clarity, execution, and accountability are what count.
How We Operate
We operate with a small, senior team and a high bar for execution. Decisions are engineering-led and grounded in first principles, with software, hardware, and operations designed together.
Progress matters more than polish, and we take responsibility for results, not just effort.
