Founding Engineer

Role

At Camfer, our engineers are rethinking how people will interact with CAD tools and actively building out that future.

Based on one’s interests, and the current needs of the team, engineers build products, systems, models, and improve UX. This could manifest in creating new AI-native UX’s, pushing our current systems to be faster / more performant, building new representations of 3D space, and coming up with new moonshot ideas for how Camfer can be better.

We are looking for people who:

• Are generalists who have worked with a broad range of programming languages and systems
• Have the ability to adapt quickly and are always learning
• Are flexible and willing to jump on whatever is needed to improve our product (there is no “not my job”)

At Camfer, you will be given the autonomy to do some of the best work of your life.

About

At Camfer, we're building the world's first AI mechanical engineer.

Our mission is to accelerate engineering. We want to eliminate the buffer between imagination and reality, while also making CAD more accessible to everyone. Our first step is creating a tool that allows engineers to use text, images, and mechanical drawings to generate feature-rich CAD models directly in their favorite platforms.

As an applied research lab, we bridge the gap between theory and practical applications; there is no shortage of ideas on agents, but at Camfer, we actually execute.

We want Camfer to be the place where everyone does the best work of their career. We’re building a flat and talent dense organization. The type of people we want to add to our team are passionate, creative, curious, and truth-seeking. We enjoy multi-disciplinary deep thinking, questioning assumptions, empirically-driven research, high-conviction bets, spirited debate, and having fun!

We're a small team of software devs and researchers who have a love for CAD and design. Our founders are FRC world champions, UC Berkeley alumni / researchers, UC Riverside dropouts, ex-AWS, and ex-Meta.

We started building Camfer just five months ago. Since then we finished YC, built a SOTA text-to-cad tool, won YC’s internal demo day, and won OpenAI’s o1 hackathon. We've raised $4.8M, our investors include Y Combinator, Next47, Bloomberg Beta, Octave Fund, and the founders of Dropbox and Airtable.

We're in-person in SF. We have an espresso machine, meals provided every day, a fully stocked fridge, and lots of natural light!

If there appears to be a fit, we'll reach to schedule personal / technical interviews. Our final step is coming to our office for a work trial (paid), where you’ll work with us for a block of time and dive deep with the team.
