Looking for technical cofounder – guided, safety-critical maintenance software
I’m a maintenance/mechanical guy working with a lot of old, undocumented, heavily modified machines. The real problems I deal with daily: tribal knowledge, repeating the same diagnoses every few months, junior techs thrown at complex equipment, and safety steps getting skipped under pressure.
The product is not a CMMS and not an “AI copilot”. It’s a work-execution system for the moment a machine is down: it guides troubleshooting step-by-step, enforces lockout/tagout and live-work warnings in the workflow, hard-blocks unsafe or unauthorized steps unless a supervisor approves, and captures what was tried and what actually fixed the problem so the shop doesn’t start from zero next time.
I already have a clear, realistic MVP spec and access to real machines and shops to test in. The initial version is a straightforward web app (assets, cases, step flows, safety gates, supervisor unlock, search).
I’m looking for a strong full-stack or product-minded engineer who’s interested in workflow systems, safety-critical software, or industrial problems. This is a serious long-term project, not a quick demo or a content startup.
