Lead Software Engineer (Python)

About Circuit Mind: 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. 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. As a Lead Software Engineer, you’ll create simple and elegant solutions to difficult technical problems that the world has not solved before. You will work in close collaboration with a highly‑functioning team of software, electronics, algorithm engineers and product managers.
