About the Role
A founding engineer role within a Series A/B level AI hardware software startup focused on accelerating how engineering teams work with AI and engineering tools. You will own the technical execution end to end and directly influence product direction and customer delivery in close collaboration with leadership.
What You'll Do
Design and implement the architecture that integrates AI agents with CAD, CAE, PLM tools, and historical engineering data, while meeting security requirements for defense and medical applications.
Own end to end software delivery including design decisions, production readiness, observability, testing, and on call operations.
Deploy production AI workflows into live customer programs used on a regular basis.
Build evaluation and training loops to improve the system from simulations, data, and real-world feedback, including physics-informed reinforcement learning.
Collaborate with engineers at customer sites to identify failure points and translate learnings into platform capabilities.
Influence the product roadmap and translate it into reliable, scalable features for real engineering programs.
