- Curiosity and enthusiasm for AI-assisted development workflows and emerging coding agent technologies.
Responsibilities
- Design and evolve core backend systems that integrate AI-driven PCB design tools with external ECAD platforms such as Altium, Cadence Allegro, Siemens Xpedition, and others.
- Lead reverse engineering efforts of proprietary CAD file formats (binary and text-based), building reliable parsers, translators, and interoperability layers.
- Develop and maintain Quilter’s internal PCB representation model, ensuring scalability across multiple CAD ecosystems and design workflows.
- Architect and implement robust, production-grade backend services with a strong focus on correctness, resilience, and testability.
- Own end-to-end delivery of complex integration features, including design, implementation, validation, and production rollout.
- Explore and integrate AI-powered tooling and agent-based workflows to accelerate CAD reverse engineering and automation tasks.
