Founding Engineer; Software

Our client is a high-growth advanced manufacturing startup building full-stack hardware and software infrastructure from scratch to modernize physical production.

By creating custom operating software, geometric simulation tools, and real-time factory data systems, the company bridges the gap between digital systems and real-world shop-floor execution.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architect and scale an end-to-end operational platform from scratch, managing complex relational workflows spanning supply chain, pricing, and execution.
• Develop automated geometry, CAD, and physics simulation tools to accelerate product design and validation cycles.
• Build high-throughput factory automation pipelines that ingest live sensor and telemetry data to maintain a real-time digital operational map.
• Spend direct time on the shop floor collaborating with equipment operators to identify friction points and deploy rapid fixes.
• Take end-to-end ownership of product and architectural decisions in close partnership with hardware engineering teams.

Qualifications:

• 2+ years of experience shipping production-grade software at scale, with strong proficiency in modern full-stack technologies (Frontend: Type Script; Backend: Python or Go).
• Experience building complex, relational systems from scratch (such as operational platforms, ERPs, MES, or logistics networks).
• Demonstrated bias for action, high agency, and rapid iteration in high-autonomy environments.
• Strong desire to solve real-world physical engineering problems and work directly alongside operational teams on the factory floor.
• Background or strong interest in CAD, computational geometry, high-bandwidth telemetry, or model post-training/quantization is a plus.
