The role: As a Multidisciplinary Engineer, you'll use your deep domain expertise — spanning mechanical, electrical, civil, structural, or systems engineering — alongside AI tools like Claude Code to build the platform that automates engineering design across all construction. You don't need prior software experience; our engineers who've never built a software product are writing code with AI. What matters is that you understand the physics, the constraints, and the trade-offs across multiple engineering disciplines. You'll be hands-on: designing, building, testing, iterating.
What we're looking for:
-
Inherently multidisciplinary — product companies naturally create this. Engineers have to collaborate tightly across mechanical, electrical, software, systems — so they end up thinking across the full stack whether they intended to or not
the multidisciplinary can also come from studying one discipline in college and then working across another
Worked at exceptional product companies — think Tesla, SpaceX, Joby, Anduril, Rivian, Neuralink. These environments force engineers to work across disciplines and think holistically about a product. That's very different from a Bechtel or a construction firm where work is siloed and process-driven
Worked on real, shippable products — a car, a robot, a rocket, a humanoid, an aircraft. especially first of a kind products. Something hard that gets built, tested, iterated on, and shipped to the world
Hands-on builder — not a manager, consultant, or someone who just oversaw the work. We want people who actually built the thing
Strong pedigree is a bonus, not necessary— elite engineering schools (MIT, Stanford, Caltech, CMU), but work experience is more important. i.e. a track record at companies doing genuinely hard things
Personality: hungry, deep in their craft, still hands-on.
Not a fit: construction/infrastructure firms (Bechtel, AECOM, etc.), pure project managers, consultants
We’re hiring across the board in terms of experience — even engineers straight out of school. For those straight out of school internships at great companies is a bonus.
Senior = 7-15+ years of relevant work experience.
