Careers: build the autonomous distillery.

Join Caskent to build physical AI for fermentation, distillation, maturation, bottling, energy, and quality control.

Why Caskent

Real production impact

Work on yield, quality, energy, and safety in physical plants.

Rare technical surface

Models, control, edge runtime, RAG, simulation, and OT integrations.

Craft plus autonomy

Build systems that preserve recipes while automating the loop.

How we work

Field truth first

We validate models against stills, operators, lab labels, and plant constraints.

Clear guardrails

Autonomy earns trust through bounded action and auditability.

Small team ownership

Builders own outcomes from design partner discovery through deployment.

Life and values

We build close to operators, production data, and constraints. Good ideas must survive a live plant.

  • Precision over theater.
  • Auditability over opacity.
  • Production metrics over vanity metrics.
