A slice of PXiSE life

At PXiSE, we build autonomous controls, and we also build autonomy into how we do our jobs. Work from home, work from our office, start early or work through the night, it’s your call. We trust you to do what’s right for you to do the best job for us.

PXiSE is headquartered in San Diego, California, which is known for its sandy beaches and near-perfect year-round weather.
