Senior Software Engineer
About The Position
JITX is revolutionizing circuit board design by making it code-first. Instead of dragging components around in a GUI, engineers write code (or have AI write it for them) to define their circuit boards. Our solvers handle the low-level details, making hardware engineering massively reusable. We're a ~12-person startup building tools that bring software engineering practices to hardware design. We're looking for a senior software engineer with a strong mathematical and algorithmic foundation who can own significant product areas end-to-end. You'll work on hard computational problems, from design automation algorithms to real-time visualization, shipping features that directly impact how electrical engineers design the hardware that powers the world. You'll be diving straight into our new simulation loop project, a core initiative that tightly integrates our design engine with circuit simulation to catch errors earlier and give engineers faster feedback.
Requirements
- Strong algorithmic problem-solving skills: graph/tree data structures, computational efficiency, and parallelism
- Mathematical maturity. Comfortable reasoning formally about geometry, linear algebra, or optimization
- Solid software engineering fundamentals
- Ability to see the big picture and understanding how your work fits into the overall product
- Self-directed work style with ability to unblock yourself and others
- Track record of owning large features from planning through production
- Comfortable working with ambiguity in a startup environment
Nice To Haves
- Background in computational geometry, spatial data structures, or geometric algorithms
- Polyglot programming experience, comfortable across multiple languages and paradigms
- Interest in hardware, electronics, or CAD tools
- Education in Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, or comparable industrial experience
Responsibilities
- Design Automation Algorithms
- Placement, routing, pin-assignment, and geometry generation algorithms for PCBs
- Computational geometry and spatial data structures
- Constraint solving and optimization
- Simulation Integration
- Integrating industry simulation tools (e.g. Ansys HFSS) into our design flow
- Building feedback loops that drive automated design optimization using simulation results
- Bridging between our design engine and external solvers to enable closed-loop iteration
