Copperhead is building an AI engineering platform for electronics. Think Cursor for circuit boards. Our agents help engineers create, modify and verify real PCB designs using frontier models, deterministic engineering tools and open-source EDA infrastructure.

Copperhead is open source, has crossed 1,400 installs and is already used by more than 300 engineers. We are now looking for a Founding Software Engineer to help build the infrastructure behind reliable AI-driven hardware engineering.

This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys building AI systems, backend infrastructure and developer tools from the ground up.

What you'll work on:

• Build the agent infrastructure used to create, modify and verify PCB designs
• Develop reliable tool-use, context management, memory, evaluation and orchestration systems
• Build stateful execution loops that can plan work, call engineering tools, inspect results and recover from failures




• Create sandboxed environments for safely operating on real KiCad projects and user files
• Improve schematic generation, PCB layout, component selection and datasheet understanding
• Integrate LLMs with KiCad, deterministic verification tools and open-source EDA infrastructure
• Build job queues, workers, APIs and artifact pipelines for long-running engineering workflows
• Develop evaluation harnesses and benchmarks for measuring engineering correctness, reliability and regressions
• Design production-quality backend systems and developer-facing interfaces
• Improve system reliability, latency, performance, observability and test coverage
• Build logging and tracing systems that make agent behaviour inspectable and reproducible
• Own projects from initial exploration and prototyping through production deployment
• Contribute to technical documentation and open-source engineering practices
• Help establish Copperhead’s engineering culture, architecture
