Join an early-stage AI company building automation for hardware engineering in complex manufacturing environments. As a founding technical team member, you will shape core product systems and work closely with customers to bring reliable AI workflows into production.

What You'll Do

  • Design and build core workflows and infrastructure for AI agents supporting hardware engineering, including context management, indexing, and post-training systems.

  • Develop AI agents and machine learning models that interpret and work with complex engineering design data in enterprise toolchains.

  • Partner with customers and engineers to deliver reliable, intuitive workflows for production use.

  • Prototype ideas, validate them with users, and ship improvements from concept through deployment.

  • Help shape early engineering practices, system architecture, and the product roadmap.

What We're Looking For

  • Two to six years of experience in applied machine learning, backend engineering, or AI infrastructure, or exceptional new graduates with strong fundamentals.

  • Strong familiarity with LLM architectures and current agent research.

  • Experience building production machine learning or AI systems, including search and information retrieval.

  • Strong Python skills and hands-on experience with PyTorch, Hugging Face, and Weights & Biases.

  • A bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, machine learning, or an equivalent background.

  • Experience with geometric data or CAD systems is a plus.

  • A practical builder mindset and care for customer experience.
