About the role
About Us Axiomatic AI is building a new class of AI systems designed to reason with the rigor of the scientific method. By combining deep learning with formal logic and physics-based modeling, we create verifiable, interpretable AI systems that collaborate with and support human researchers in high-stakes scientific and engineering workflows.
Our mission, 30×30 , is to deliver a 30× improvement in the speed, accessibility, and cost of semiconductor and photonic hardware development by 2030.
We aim to revolutionize hardware design and simulation in these industries and are building a team of highly motivated professionals to bring these innovations from research into commercial products.
Position Overview We are seeking a Forward-Deployed Engineer with technical credibility in engineering design (preferably Photonics or Electronics) and hands-on experience in building agentic AI workflows for enterprise engineering environments. In this role, you will work directly with engineers, researchers, and engineering leadership at customer organizations to translate complex photonic device and circuit challenges into structured, deployable systems built on top of the Axiomatic Intelligence platform.
You will serve as the technical bridge between customer requirements and product capabilities — architecting intelligent workflows, rapidly developing high-impact software demos, and shaping the transformation of photonics product design. Your work will span modeling, design, simulation automation, and design-space optimization, all while meeting stringent requirements around validation, IP protection, and deployment modality. You will serve as a highly professional and credible representative of Axiomatic AI, balancing technical rigor with a solution-driven and relationship-focused approach.
Your Mission
- Customer Discovery & Technical Framing: Engage deeply with customer teams to understand device, circuit, and packaging design workflows. Translate ambiguous, multi-modal engineering requirements into clear technical architectures and delivery roadmaps. Act as a trusted technical partner during pilots, evaluations, and early production deployments.
- Rapid Prototyping & Agentic Workflows: Build high-impact prototypes demonstrating AI-assisted photonic modeling, multi-domain co-design, circuit optimization, and simulation automation. Design and deploy agentic AI workflows that orchestrate LLMs, physics-based models, simulations, scientific tools, and customer data. Iterate quickly based on real-world feedback while ensuring technical rigor and product readiness.
- Customer–Product Bridge: Collaborate closely with internal software and product teams to convert field learnings into scalable platform capabilities. Provide structured feedback to influence roadmap, architecture, and long-term product strategy.
Key Requirements
- MSc or PhD in a science or engineering field (e.g., electrical engineering, photonics, applied physics, applied math).
- 4+ years of experience in software engineering, applied AI, forward deployed engineering, or solution engineering roles.
- Strong programming experience, primarily in Python (scientific computing, workflow orchestration, API integration)
- Hands-on experience with modern AI tools (LLMs, APIs, agentic systems, orchestration frameworks).
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; a highly effective listener; able to work directly with engineers, engineering managers, and enterprise stakeholders.
- Demonstrated experience working directly with customers or internal stakeholders to deliver technical solutions.
- Possess a naturally friendly, helpful and collaborative attitude, acting a true partner to customers
Nice to Have
- Hands-on experience building agentic AI solutions using modern frameworks (e.g., LangChain, Pydandic, LlamaIndex, Ray, Prefect, or similar)
- Experience with EDA-style environments or hardware–software co-design.
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, APIs, and deployment workflows.
- Ability to design solutions that connect device-level physics, circuit-level constraints, and system-level automation.
- Familiarity with enterprise deployment models (cloud, hybrid, on-prem) and HPC or cluster-based compute environments.
- Experience working with research teams, applied scientists, or R&D organizations on production software.
What We Offer
- Competitive compensation
- Stock Options Plan: Empowering you to share in our success and growth.
- Cutting-Edge Tools: Access to state-of-the-art tools and collaborative opportunities with leading experts in artificial intelligence, physics, hardware and electronic design automation.
- Professional Growth: Opportunities to attend industry conferences, present research findings, and engage with the global AI research community.
- Impact-Driven Culture: Join a passionate team focused on solving some of the most challenging problems at the intersection of AI and hardware.

About Axiomatic_AI
Axiomatic_AI is readying to launch with the aim to accelerate R&D by "Automated Interpretable Reasoning" (AIR) -- a verifiably truthful AI model built for reasoning in science and engineering. Axiomatic_AI is hiring top talent interested in a future of human reasoning aided by -- not replaced by -- AI, and a future that empowers a new generation of innovators to solve important problems thro The Challenge and Opportunity: Mission 10X30 - Pioneering a Tenfold Boost in Science & Engineering Productivity by 2030
At the heart of our mission lies the ambition to create software and algorithms that not only automate processes but also provide clear, understandable insights to fuel innovation and research. Our aim? To achieve Mission10X30, a bold vision aiming for a tenfold decrease in the time engineers spend tackling technical challenges by 2030. How? Through our groundbreaking AI-engineering tool - Axiomatic AI. This tool is designed to streamline end-to-end prototype development, with a primary focus on the largest segments of semiconductor-based hardware.
Background: The scientific method stands as one of humanity's most remarkable achievements, guiding us through a journey of understanding via iterative experimentation and evidence-driven deduction. In a mere fraction of Earth's history - less than 0.001% - this methodology has propelled us from the Industrial Revolution to the digital age. Now, with the emergence of artificial intelligence, we stand at a crossroads: a future where AI replaces humans, or one where AI empowers us through Automated Interpretable Reasoning.
Our Unique Approach: Axiomatic AI introduces a novel methodology grounded in evidence-driven deduction, deeply rooted in the fundamentals of physics and engineering knowledge. Our goal? To showcase the practicality of axiomatic AI through demonstrative projects, starting with physics and engineering domains. Unlike conventional black-box AI, our approach offers transparency and interpretability.
