About Us

At SoarTech, our focus is on the development of artificial intelligence (AI) that reasons like humans do, to automate complex tasks, simplify human-machine interactions, or model human behaviors. Our philosophy is three-fold: to be an augmentation to, not a replacement of, the human; to think “top-down, not bottom-up;” and to be transparent so that decisions and processing are communicated to the human and in human-like terms.

SoarTech’s Program Management Office (PMO) is looking for individuals interested in helping support our research, development, and implementation of this exciting technology into everyday operations.
