Who We Work With

Physical AI and Robotics Executive Search

SkillTorch hires VP and C-suite leaders for companies running AI and autonomous machines in the real world, from AI compute and data centres to robot fleets and automated factories.

What Physical AI Means

Physical AI is artificial intelligence that senses and acts in the real world: robots moving through warehouses, vision systems inspecting parts on a production line, and the compute and power that keep them running. These companies need leaders who sit where hardware, software and real-world operations meet. Power availability, reliability, safety and cost at scale all land on their desk, and the best of them rarely use job boards. We reach them through direct, confidential outreach and a network built across AI infrastructure and robotics.
