Forward Deployed Engineer

Axiomatic_AI • Boston, MA

55d • Hybrid

About The Position

Axiomatic AI is seeking a Forward-Deployed Engineer with technical credibility in engineering design and hands-on experience in building agentic AI workflows for enterprise engineering environments. In this role, you will work directly with engineers, researchers, and engineering leadership at customer organizations to translate complex photonic device and circuit challenges into structured, deployable systems built on top of the Axiomatic Intelligence platform. You will serve as the technical bridge between customer requirements and product capabilities — architecting intelligent workflows, rapidly developing high-impact software demos, and shaping the transformation of photonics product design. Your work will span modeling, design, simulation automation, and design-space optimization, all while meeting stringent requirements around validation, IP protection, and deployment modality. You will serve as a highly professional and credible representative of Axiomatic AI, balancing technical rigor with a solution-driven and relationship-focused approach.

Requirements

• MSc or PhD in a science or engineering field.
• 4+ years of experience in software engineering, applied AI, forward deployed engineering, or solution engineering roles.
• Strong programming experience, primarily in Python (scientific computing, workflow orchestration, API integration)
• Hands-on experience with modern AI tools (LLMs, APIs, agentic systems, orchestration frameworks).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; a highly effective listener; able to work directly with engineers, engineering managers, and enterprise stakeholders.
• Demonstrated experience working directly with customers or internal stakeholders to deliver technical solutions.
• Possess a naturally friendly, helpful and collaborative attitude, acting a true partner to customers.

Nice To Haves

• Hands-on experience building agentic AI solutions using modern frameworks (e.g., LangChain, Pydandic, LlamaIndex, Ray, Prefect, or similar)
• Experience with EDA-style environments or hardware–software co-design.
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, APIs, and deployment workflows.
• Ability to design solutions that connect device-level physics, circuit-level constraints, and system-level automation.
• Familiarity with enterprise deployment models (cloud, hybrid, on-prem) and HPC or cluster-based compute environments.
• Experience working with research teams, applied scientists, or R&D organizations on production software.

Responsibilities

• Customer Discovery & Technical Framing: Engage deeply with customer teams to understand device, circuit, and packaging design workflows. Translate ambiguous, multi-modal engineering requirements into clear technical architectures and delivery roadmaps. Act as a trusted technical partner during pilots, evaluations, and early production deployments.
• Rapid Prototyping & Agentic Workflows: Build high-impact prototypes demonstrating AI-assisted photonic modeling, multi-domain co-design, circuit optimization, and simulation automation. Design and deploy agentic AI workflows that orchestrate LLMs, physics-based models, simulations, scientific tools, and customer data. Iterate quickly based on real-world feedback while ensuring technical rigor and product readiness.
• Customer–Product Bridge: Collaborate closely with internal software and product teams to convert field learnings into scalable platform capabilities. Provide structured feedback to influence roadmap, architecture, and long-term product strategy.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation
• Stock Options Plan: Empowering you to share in our success and growth.
• Cutting-Edge Tools: Access to state-of-the-art tools and collaborative opportunities with leading experts in artificial intelligence, physics, hardware and electronic design automation.
• Professional Growth: Opportunities to attend industry conferences, present research findings, and engage with the global AI research community.
• Impact-Driven Culture: Join a passionate team focused on solving some of the most challenging problems at the intersection of AI and hardware.
