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.

Mission

Your mission is to drive the successful delivery of customer electronics design projects using Circuit Mind's ACE platform; either enabling end users to execute projects independently or taking full ownership of execution yourself.

Responsibilities

• Assess design requirements and leverage your expertise to guide the users in generating those designs in Circuit Mind's ACE platform.
• Lead and perform AI-assisted customer projects using Circuit Mind's ACE platform to demonstrate faster, higher quality design outcomes than the traditional manual design process.
• Run training and support meetings with users to ensure they effectively achieve their objectives using Circuit Mind's ACE platform.
• Research and identify new components that meet customer project requirements to be added to the Circuit Mind platform
• Collaborate with the customer success and software team to troubleshoot issues with designs run user issues, manage and execute the resolution of these issues and communicate the resolution to customers promptly.
• Collaborate with the software and product team to identify key functionalities that can be developed to improve the value of ACE.

To fulfil the above, you'll develop an intimate understanding of the abstractions and algorithms that ACE uses to generate circuit designs.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• 8+ years experience in designing electronic circuit boards
• Ability to understand user needs and challenges and to effectively devise and articulate tailored solutions
• Strong communication skills
• Strong attention to detail
• Thorough understanding of low level digital electronics principles

Nice to haves

• Basic software development experience
• Experience in a Software as a Service (SaaS), Design Software (ECAD, MCAD, Simulation etc.) or startup company

Benefits

• Collaboration with a friendly world-class team.
• Above market rate salary and meaningful equity.
• Flexible working hours with two days a week in the office.
• 5 weeks per year to work wherever you want in the world.
• Extended parental leave.
• Annual Retreat.
• Learning and development budget to support your professional development.
