Who this role is best for

Geared toward experienced software engineers comfortable with building infrastructure for AI-driven hardware design tools, with a preference for candidates who have worked in high-performance computing and startup environments.

Best fit for

  • Experienced software engineers who have contributed to product development in high-performance computing environments
    — “6+ years of experience developing and shipping features in the space of high performance computing.
  • Candidates with a background in deploying scalable systems and integrating AI infrastructure
    — “Set up and integrate LLM or VLM infrastructure.
  • Individuals who enjoy working in startup settings and taking ownership of product development
    — “Startup experience is a strong advantage.

Things to consider

  • The role demands a strong background in system-level development and deployment pipelines
    — “design and develop the pipelines and tools that make our product a product.
  • Candidates may need to be comfortable with both backend and data science workflows
    — “Proficiency in using cloud compute be it for data generation, scraping, and enabling data science teams to train models with MLOps is a plus.

How to stand out

  • Showcase your work with high-performance computing and system-level tools like Docker and Kubernetes
    — “Tools like grpc, protocol buffers, Docker, Kubernetes, Bazel (or your favorite language agnostic build system).
  • Demonstrate your ability to work on complex engineering workflows and APIs
    — “developing improving APIs to enable more complex engineering workflows.

About the role

Original posting from Vinci4d via Ashby

About Us 🚀

  • 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 plus
  • CUDA 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
