About Us 🚀

  • We're building a co-pilot for hardware designers. Our mission is to enable millions of hardware designers + engineers to iterate through designs 1000x faster. (Our system solves the 100M DoF Problem in 13 seconds, without hallucinations)

  • We are building our geometry + physics-driven foundation model for nm to cm scale designs → First model shipped and now expanding!

  • Backed by Khosla and Eclipse Ventures

Your Responsibilities

  • Own the automated physics simulation data generation pipeline for various scenarios which involved solving steady and unsteady PDEs

  • Specifically elasticity, plasticity -- steady and transient phenomena modeling

  • Assist in the strategy, planning the product roadmap, and prioritizing the development in partnership with design partners and early customers

  • Build and ship critical product features

  • Learn a lot while building products that engineers will love

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience developing and shipping features in high-performance and scientific computing.

  • Proficiency in programming languages/tools:C++, CUDA/Hip, Python, JAX,

  • Deep expertise in the field of numerical simulation of a physical system, you have developed your own FEA code in C++ or CUDA/Hip

  • Experience in parallel programming and optimization techniques

  • Knowledge of algorithms, and data structures

  • Masters/Ph.D. degree in Engineering, Scientific Computing related field.

  • You are excited about building an AI model + GPU accelerated geometry and physics engine for various design problems (e.g. heat dissipation system for chips to landing gears)!

  • You are excited about entrepreneurship, taking things from 0 to 1, and have a continuous learning mindset.

  • You thrive when you have autonomy and ownership over your work
