We are Small and Big.
With under 100 employees, Cyngn is still a company that operates with the energy of a startup.
On the other hand, we are publicly traded.
Combined, our employees not only work in close-knit teams with close mentorship from company leaders, but they also get access to the liquidity of our publicly traded equity.
This gives our small team the opportunity to make a big impact in industries that other people aren't touching-without taking on the risks associated with untested organizations.
We Build Today and Deploy Tomorrow.
Our employees aren't just researchers but are creating reality.
In other words, the autonomous vehicles we're building are designed to go to real clients right away.
We are driven by our passion for innovation, our ability to see the entire product, and the real impact of our work in the real world.
At Cyngn, the distance between the theoretical and the actual is razor-thin.
We aren't robots.
We just build them.
