Quilter uses physics-driven AI to automate PCB placement and routing. Get review-ready layout candidates in hours. Works with Altium, Cadence, Xpedition. Backed by Index.
About the role
Investigate and resolve customer blockers. Work with customers and GTM to reproduce failures, inspect design data and logs, and identify the cause. Fix File I/O issues and coordinate with partner teams when a problem crosses system boundaries. Ship integration features and fixes. Own Python changes from design through rollout, including parsers, exporters, and shared representations of boards, schematics, and constraints. Make sound implementation tradeoffs and contribute through code reviews. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Deep production Python experience, with ownership of maintainable software from design through testing and rollout
- Experience working directly with customers, partners, or technical users to understand a workflow, diagnose integration problems, and deliver working software
- Strong debugging skills across unfamiliar code, files, and structured data. You can isolate causes and test hypotheses with incomplete information
- Clear communication and sound judgment under time pressure. You explain uncertainty, coordinate priorities and dependencies, and follow through on both immediate fixes and lasting improvements
- Practical experience with LLMs and agentic workflows, including evaluating results and improving the tools and feedback loops around them
More about this role
At Quilter, we are helping electrical engineers save time and accomplish more by automating the tedious and time-consuming task of designing printed circuit boards (PCBs). Our small team is composed of experts in electrical engineering, electromagnetic simulation, ML/AI, and high-performance computing (HPC). We are inventing and leveraging novel techniques to solve the decades-old problem of automating circuit board design where today hundreds of billions of dollars are spent. We have raised $25 million in Series B funding from some of the very best and are charging full-speed toward our goal.
No matter where we come from, we're united by a common vision for the future and a core set of values we think will get us there:
Curiosity
Conviction
Rigor
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to work directly with our go-to-market team and customers to turn integration blockers into production fixes and features. Our File I/O team connects Quilter with tools including Altium, KiCad, Cadence Allegro, and Siemens Xpedition, preserving design intent as files move into Quilter and results return to the customer’s CAD workflow.
You’ll work primarily in Python on parsers, exporters,...
