Founding Engineer
About the role
Founding Engineer at Aurorin CAD, a YC-backed startup building a next-generation CAD kernel and AI-native CAD stack to enable fewer engineers to build complex hardware.
Responsibilities
- You will be responsible for assisting the design of Aurorin's new CAD kernel and software stack at every level.
- You will see your software through from start to finish: from figuring out the core needs to prototyping, developing, and testing; to validated learning seeing if your change actually helped users and was needed.
Qualifications
- Strong background in systems programming or building of native applications
- High responsibility and proactivity
- Preferred skills and experience: Strong Swift experience, Strong C++ experience, GPU programming experience

About Aurorin CAD
Claude code for Mechanical Engineers
There are 2 problems: The first, CAD software is slow and the second, designing with it is a tedious process with many steps. Aurorin solves both of these problems by being a CAD software built from the ground up on a modern tech stack with AI at its heart. Building the CAD kernel lets us fully leverage AI while modernizing execution speed. Almost all existing CAD software (Solidworks, NX, Creo, Catia, Fusion 360, Onshape etc) use the same couple of underlying CAD kernels built in the 80's. It's common for these programs to take 4 hours to open a file. Aurorin uses a custom parametric and B-Rep driven CAD Kernel built to take full advantage of modern CPUs and GPUs and be AI native.
