Software Engineer, Finite Element Analysis & Structural Optimization
About The Position
InfinitForm is building the Physical AI platform for engineering teams. We help manufacturers generate production-ready designs dramatically faster by bringing simulation, optimization, manufacturability constraints, and editable parametric CAD into one workflow. Today, engineering teams often spend months moving from concept to validated, manufacturable design. InfinitForm compresses that cycle from months to days — helping teams explore more design options, reduce late-stage rework, and bring better physical products to production faster. Our platform is designed for aerospace, automotive, defense, robotics, and advanced manufacturing companies operating at the frontier of physical product development. Backed by leading investors and built by pioneers in computational geometry, simulation, and advanced manufacturing, InfinitForm is defining a new category at the intersection of AI and engineering.
