About the role
AI Assistant For Hardware Designers We're building an AI assistant for hardware designers. Our mission is to enable millions of hardware designers and engineers to iterate through designs 1000x faster. We are building our geometry + physics driven foundation model for each class of part design. We are looking for people who love to build new products to help us improve our MVP.
Your Responsibilities:
You'll be a force multiplier for our team and will design and develop the pipelines and tools that make our product a product. This includes accelerating our development by developing the system that enables our code to go from development to deployment. You'll also orchestrate how data flows throughout the deployed product. Specific tasks include:
- Develop key features to improve our product including: making it more scalable, developing improving APIs to enable more complex engineering workflows
- Set up and integrate LLM or VLM infrastructure
- Set up an MLOps framework for training deep learning architectures for geometry and physics data
- Assist in the strategy, planning the product roadmap, and prioritize the development in partnership with early customers and design partners
- Build and ship critical product features
Learn a lot while building products that engineers will love. Also learn about entrepreneurship!
Qualifications:
- 6+ years of experience developing and shipping features in the space of high performance computing.
- Proficiency in C++, Python, or any other language necessary for setting up a system. Tools like grpc, protocol buffers, Docker, Kubernetes, Bazel (or your favorite language agnostic build system)
- Proficiency in using cloud compute be it for data generation, scraping, and enabling data science teams to train models with MLOps is a plusCUDA experience would be amazing but not required
- Frontend experience is a plus
- Startup experience is a strong advantage.
- You're a great fit for this role if you
- Are excited about entrepreneurship, taking things from 0 to 1, Have a continuous learning mindset.
- Are interested in building a geometry and physics based model for a vast variety of design problems (e.g. heat dissipation system for chips to landing gears)!Thrive when you have autonomy and ownership over your work
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
