About this role
Purpose
We are building the software that powers the next generation of vehicle manufacturing. Our tools support the entire product development pipeline — from structural design and simulation to program generation, AI-assisted decision-making, and real-time web applications. As a new graduate, you'll join a high-impact team working at the intersection of hardware, software, and advanced manufacturing.
The Role
As a Software Engineer, you will help develop and support tools that enable efficient, intelligent, and scalable design and manufacturing of vehicle structures. You’ll work alongside a multidisciplinary team of mechanical engineers, software engineers, and manufacturing experts, contributing to projects that may include:
- Developing modern web applications to streamline engineering and manufacturing workflows
- Building algorithms for program generation, design automation, and computational engineering
- Applying AI/ML to optimize engineering, business, and production systems
- Supporting structural analysis, simulation workflows, and topology optimization tools
- Bridging mechanical engineering principles with software to create production-ready solutions
This is a hands-on role where your code will directly impact how real products are designed, built, and delivered.
Basic Qualifications
- Ability to lawfully access information and technology subject to U.S. export controls
- Graduating in Dec 2025 or Spring 2026 with a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field
- Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, C++)
- Understanding of algorithms, data structures, and object-oriented design
- Familiarity with version control tools (e.g., Git)
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Eagerness to learn new tools, frameworks, and technologies
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with web development frameworks (e.g., React, Node.js, Django, FastAPI)
- Exposure to CAD or simulation tools (SolidWorks, NX, FEA libraries, etc.)
- Knowledge of REST APIs and database systems (SQL or NoSQL)
- Experience or coursework in computational design, topology optimization, or generative algorithms
- Interest in AI/ML, especially applied to engineering or production systems
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to collaborate effectively in cross-functional teams
