Account Executive

Help us transform precision manufacturing!

Acerta is on a mission to understand the digital thread of data for every vehicle. Our customers are global automakers and suppliers who make complex parts that power all kinds of vehicles.

We're currently focused on helping manufacturers make better parts more efficiently using machine learning and artificial intelligence (ML/AI). We've built a predictive quality analytics solution called LinePulse to help them make better day-to-day decisions. LinePulse arms them with actionable insights so they can proactively address quality issues before they impact production. Sometimes, our customers want help with problems in the vehicle instead of quality issues in their manufacturing plants. That's OK, too because we also use ML/AI to create unique solutions for specific on-road challenges.

If you're ready to make a huge difference in the automotive and off-highway industries, come join our team.
