Bright Machines is a San Francisco-based software-defined manufacturing company founded in 2018 by Amar Hanspal and Lior Susan that builds a full-stack intelligent automation platform for electronics and AI-infrastructure assembly. Its Microfactory pairs modular Bright Robotic Cells with Brightware, a platform operating system that orchestrates hardware, runs a machine-vision "Smart Skills" perception stack, and provides manufacturing-execution services for work orders, material management and real-time production KPIs. Bright Data, the company's data layer, unifies component, process and enterprise-system data through secure APIs and auditable data flows, and Bright Designer turns product CAD into assembly-ready digital twins using NVIDIA Omniverse on Microsoft Azure. The company has raised roughly $279M from Eclipse, BlackRock, NVIDIA, Microsoft, Jabil and others. All platform and data interfaces are delivered to customers under commercial engagement; Bright Machines publishes no public developer portal, API documentation, SDKs or machine-readable API contracts.
