Electronic Circuit Boards and Software Innovation
Electronic circuit boards are at the core of current and future inventions - space travel, medical robotics, autonomous transportation, augmented reality, bio-engineering. Yet today designing an electronic circuit board is an extremely manual, long and tedious process. At Circuit Mind we believe that this is wrong and we are on a mission to fix it, triggering the future of hardware design.
We are creating an entirely new software engine for circuit boards, that takes as inputs the requirements of a circuit board and automatically outputs a complete design, ready for manufacture.
Role: Lead Software Engineer
As a Lead Software Engineer, you’ll create simple and elegant solutions to difficult technical problems that the world has not solved before. You will work in close collaboration with a highly-functioning team of software, electronics, algorithm engineers and product managers.
