Join Us

We don't just talk the talk—we walk the walk. If you're ready to build what matters and be part of an innovative team,

Looq AI is transforming how utility infrastructure is captured, inspected, and understood. Our qCam is a photogrammetric multi‑camera system that turns a walk along a utility line into survey‑grade 3D data. Engineering firms and utilities use Looq to inspect, model, and strengthen distribution networks faster and more efficiently than traditional field methods.

Headquartered in San Diego and venture‑backed, Looq is growing quickly as utilities across the U.S. invest billions in modernizing and strengthening the grid.

Looq Services is the next phase of that growth. Rather than only providing the technology, we're building our own field teams to capture data and deliver finished inspection results directly to utilities — including pole geometry, crossarm and insulator conditions, attachments, clearances, and loading analysis, with a 72‑hour turnaround from capture to delivery.

With a truck and a qCam, a single technician can capture approximately 90 poles per day. As we expand across geographic regions in North America, our early leaders will help shape how Looq Services operates and scales.

Looq AI (LiMAR AI Inc.) is an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. We do not discriminate on the basis of any characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.

Reasonable accommodations are available to qualified individuals with disabilities throughout the application and hiring process.
