About the role
Build and extend integrations with CAD vendors' file formats and scripting systems. Reverse-engineer proprietary binary and text-based formats, with support from senior engineers.
What they're looking for
- 3-7 years of software engineering experience, with meaningful backend or systems work
- Strong Python proficiency. This is the language you'll spend nearly all your time in, and real expertise here matters more than anything else on this list. A track record of writing clean, maintainable code in real production codebases
- Genuine excitement about coding agents and a real hunger to get great at them—you want a team that will invest in that growth, not throttle it
- Comfort with ambiguous, reverse-engineering-flavored problems: unfamiliar code, undocumented formats, weird edge cases
- General knowledge of binary formats
- Solid fundamentals in design, testing, and debugging
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
Quilter's File I/O team builds the bridges between Quilter and the world's leading PCB CAD tools—Altium, Cadence Allegro, and Siemens Xpedition. You'll work primarily in our Python File I/O codebase: parsing, translating, and generating complex (and often undocumented) CAD formats, and mapping them into Quilter's internal "board" model.
This is a genuinely AI-native team—and we'll make you dangerous with it. A lot of companies say "we...
