We are an early-stage aerospace engineering software company building an AI-powered platform to help hardware teams move from concept to manufacturable design 10–100x faster. Our approach transforms sequential engineering workflows into parallel processes, helping teams evaluate designs, make decisions, and prepare for manufacturing more efficiently. We are developing the platform alongside aerospace companies solving complex, mission-critical engineering challenges on demanding timelines. The founder brings 13 years of hardware development leadership at SpaceX, Relativity, and Lilium. The company is advancing its approach through a NASA SBIR Ignite Phase I program and commercial aerospace and defense work. Role - This is a full-time founding engineer opportunity beginning with a paid working period. One-month paid working period, followed by a full-time offer. Meaningful equity as part of the expected full-time package. First technical employee, working directly with the founder. You will be the founder’s software counterpart, taking ownership of building and shipping the platform. The founder brings product vision, aerospace hardware expertise, and direct feedback from engineering customers. You bring the software engineering depth, architectural judgment, and execution needed to turn that vision into a reliable product. This role offers significant ownership and growth potential in an early-stage environment where priorities evolve and requirements are often incomplete. The initial focus is backend development, with
