Job description

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. To achieve its mission, Circuit Mind has created a library of electronic component digital twins. Each digital twin models the data of the component’s datasheet. These digital twins are then utilised by Circuit Mind’s platform to generate circuit designs that align with user specifications.

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.

Your Mission

As Circuit Mind’s Lead Electronic Engineer, your mission will be to drive the evolution of our AI-powered electronics design platform by guiding our algorithms, software, and electronics teams to deliver on our core mission: automating professional electronic design at scale.

You will shape the technical direction of how our platform understands, generates, and validates real-world electronic designs, and drive the successful adoption of our technology on customer projects across industries such as aerospace & defence, consumer electronics, semiconductors and industrial systems.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Roadmap Leadership: Define and maintain the technical roadmap for Circuit Mind’s AI-powered electronics design platform in collaboration with leadership and product management. Ensure each release advances our ability to generate high-quality, production-ready designs for key industries and customer segments.
• Product Feature Specification: Collaborate with product engineers to translate design challenges into clearly documented specifications for new product functionality that solves user problems and expands the platform’s design generation capability
• Feature Prioritisation: Work with Circuit Mind’s leadership and product teams to prioritise product features aligning technical development with customer value, revenue potential, and target market impact
• Solution Architecture & Development: Lead cross-functional workshops with Circuit Mind’s algorithm and software teams on how to develop the Circuit Mind platform to generate optimised designs accurately at a professional level
• Data Model Evolution: Collaborate with Circuit Mind’s data team to expand and refine Circuit Mind’s digital component information representation (digital twin) to enable accurate and flexible design generation.
• AI Assisted Design Projects for Customers: Lead and perform AI-assisted customer projects with the customer success team, using Circuit Mind’s platform to demonstrate faster, higher quality design outcomes than the traditional manual design process
• New Product Exploration: Explore and test new product directions where Circuit Mind can use AI and automation to create value for end customers and users

Qualifications
