Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
We’re looking for an experienced electrical engineering leader who will own the hardware design practices and guiding principles of our platform. You’ll steer the evolution of our ECAD tool's core capabilities as well as the correctness of our AI Hardware Engineer's system knowledge and design approach. You'll actively partner with product leadership to shape and prioritize AI capability development, evaluation frameworks, and in developing scaled approaches to guide our community to successful PCB projects.
What they're looking for
- Experience in a larger technical org (e.g., hardware product management or lead EE for critical subsystems at a world‑class company) with a track record of shipping at scale
- On the ground factory and test, mass production, and quality/yield optimization experience. Actively participating in builds and carrying key responsibilities to realize designs at scale
- Prior design‑partner or customer‑facing role (product management, applications, FAEs, field engineering, or cross‑functional liaison) that turned feedback into product wins
- Hands‑on across ECAD platforms , passion for great engineering tools and workflows
- Practical exposure to AI/ML (prompting/evaluation, data curation/labeling, or integrating ML‑assisted design tools)
More about this role
Flux is taking the hard out of hardware. To do this, we’re building the world's first AI hardware engineer. Founded in 2019, our platform enables anyone to go from idea to manufacturable board using nothing more than a natural language prompt. This democratizes a process that has historically required years of specialized expertise.
We're going after a $15B+ electronic design automation market, backed by 8VC, Bain Capital Ventures, Liquid 2 Ventures, Outsiders Fund, Figma board member John Lilly, and GitHub founder Tom Preston-Werner. In February 2026, we closed a total of $37M in funding to accelerate that mission.
What happens when we unlock the ability for anyone to make hardware? We fundamentally reshape the world. That's our mission, and we're just getting started.
