About the role

We're looking for a senior software engineer with a strong mathematical and algorithmic foundation who can own significant product areas end-to-end. You'll work on hard computational problems, from design automation algorithms to real-time visualization, shipping features that directly impact how electrical engineers design the hardware that powers the world.

What they're looking for

  • Must Haves
  • - Strong algorithmic problem-solving skills: graph/tree data structures, computational efficiency, and parallelism
  • - Mathematical maturity. Comfortable reasoning formally about geometry, linear algebra, or optimization
  • - Solid software engineering fundamentals
  • - Ability to see the big picture and understanding how your work fits into the overall product
  • - Self-directed work style with ability to unblock yourself and others
More about this role

JITX is revolutionizing circuit board design by making it code-first. Instead of dragging components around in a GUI, engineers write code (or have AI write it for them) to define their circuit boards. Our solvers handle the low-level details, making hardware engineering massively reusable. We're a ~12-person startup building tools that bring software engineering practices to hardware design.

You'll work on hard computational problems, from design automation algorithms to real-time visualization, shipping features that directly impact how electrical engineers design the hardware that powers the world.

You'll be diving straight into our new simulation loop project, a core initiative that tightly integrates our design engine with circuit simulation to catch errors earlier and give engineers faster feedback.

  • Placement, routing, pin-assignment, and geometry generation algorithms for PCBs
  • Computational geometry and spatial data structures
  • Constraint solving and optimization
