The posting

Founding Engineer - Applied AI

Company: Confidential — stealth startup building AI for complex hardware manufacturers

Location: San Francisco, CA (in person highly preferred; exceptional remote candidates considered)

Compensation: $180,000 - $250,000 + equity

Employment Type: Full-time

About the Company

The client is a stealth startup building AI for complex hardware manufacturers, at the intersection of AI, hardware development and policy. It partners with iconic automotive, aerospace and industrial manufacturers and is backed by General Catalyst, Kleiner Perkins and the parent company of Ferrari.

The founding team spans AI, advanced engineering and policy, including a former America's Cup world champion, Stanford AI Lab researchers, a former president of Hyundai, a CTO of Caterpillar, and a former Chairman of the FAA and FCC.

The Role

The client is hiring an Applied AI Engineer to build the core systems behind its automation engine for hardware engineering. You will design, implement and post-train AI agents that power critical product development workflows for global enterprise customers, retrieving, interpreting and manipulating complex engineering design data inside real engineering environments. As one of the first technical hires, you will own mission-critical systems end to end.

What You Will Do

  • Design core workflows and infrastructure for hardware engineering agents: context management, novel indexing and post-training.
  • Build agents and ML models that reason over and manipulate complex engineering design data, integrated with enterprise engineering tools.
  • Work with customers and the team to deliver reliable, trusted AI workflows in production.
  • Prototype rapidly, validate with real users and ship frequently.
  • Shape engineering culture, architecture and the product's future.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor's or higher in Computer Science, Machine Learning or equivalent experience
  • Strong familiarity with LLM architectures and agent research
  • Excellent programming skills with ML libraries such as PyTorch, Hugging Face and Weights & Biases
  • Experience building production ML or AI systems

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
