What the job involves

We are building the software that powers the next generation of vehicle manufacturing. Our tools support the entire product development pipeline — from structural design and simulation to program generation, AI-assisted decision-making, and real-time web applications. As a new graduate, you'll join a high-impact team working at the intersection of hardware, software, and advanced manufacturing
As a Software Engineer, you will help develop and support tools that enable efficient, intelligent, and scalable design and manufacturing of vehicle structures. You’ll work alongside a multidisciplinary team of mechanical engineers, software engineers, and manufacturing experts, contributing to projects that may include:
Developing modern web applications to streamline engineering and manufacturing workflows
Building algorithms for program generation, design automation, and computational engineering
Applying AI/ML to optimize engineering, business, and production systems
Supporting structural analysis, simulation workflows, and topology optimization tools
Bridging mechanical engineering principles with software to create production-ready solutions
This is a hands-on role where your code will directly impact how real products are designed, built, and delivered
