Sales Consultant – Solution Engineering (US)

About UptimeAI

UptimeAI provides AI reasoning agents that help industrial operations teams make goal-oriented, real-time decisions.

Industrial facilities are rich in data but constrained by the expertise required to maintain and interpret it. As experienced engineers retire and operational complexity grows, organizations struggle to scale the expert judgment needed to maintain reliability, safety and performance.

UptimeAI addresses this challenge by embedding engineering reasoning directly into AI agents that continuously analyze operational data, diagnose issues and guide teams toward the best actions. The result is faster decisions, reduced downtime, improved efficiency and stronger operational performance. UptimeAI works with large enterprises such as Tata Power and BPCL.
