About Us
A software engineer today works alongside Claude Code or Cursor. A mechanical engineer designing the next car component still clicks through CAD trees, up to 7 different softwares and searches Excel sheets, Windows folders and asks whoever has been around longest.
AI is about to change that fundamentally – and nobody has figured out yet what the interface for it looks like.
That is why we are building the AI co-engineer for physical products: agents that work natively in 3D, sit on top of CATIA, NX, SOLIDWORKS and Creo, and learn from real-world engineering decisions.
We are already in production with major European manufacturers.
🔍 Who we're looking for
We are a small, AI-native team and we need a senior designer who defines how engineers and AI agents work together in 3D. You own product design end-to-end and take on a real share of product management (~30%) together with the founders.
-
You have designed complex B2B / SaaS products – dense data, multi-step workflows, expert users who don't forgive friction
-
You have shipped AI and agent experiences – not just chat, but human-in-the-loop review, uncertainty, and making an agent's reasoning traceable
-
You prototype in code – and put working prototypes in front of users, not just Figma frames
-
You think like a product manager – you run user interviews, write crisp specs, prioritise ruthlessly and work directly with engineers
-
You combine taste with pragmatism – you know when to polish and when to ship
-
You are fluent in German and English – our users are engineers at German manufacturers and you will talk to them directly
Experience with 3D, CAD, PLM or other engineering software – ideally in a startup – is a strong plus.
🏗️ What you'll work on
You will shape the future of agentic 3D design and engineering. There is no pattern library for this category yet – you will write it. What that looks like right now:
-
Designing how an engineer briefs, steers and reviews an AI agent that generates and modifies 3D designs – from a customer request to a validated design variant
-
Making agent work inspectable in 3D – viewers, cuts, measurements, 2D drawings, and a clear view of what the agent changed and why
-
Turning a fast-grown product into a coherent design system together with our frontend engineers
-
Running research loops with engineers at automotive and industrial customers and turning them into roadmap, specs and shipped features
We work with Figma, Flowbite, Linear and a modern Python and TypeScript stack – and we prototype with AI every day.
✨ Why join
-
Define the interaction model for a category that does not exist yet
-
Real enterprise customers, real revenue, real problems - not a solution looking for a market
-
Direct line to the founders – product vision and design decisions happen in the same conversation
-
Remote across Europe with in-person client workshops and team offsites
-
Competitive salary and meaningful early equity
📩 How to apply
Via Ashby with:
-
Your CV
-
Your portfolio – at least two case studies of complex B2B or AI products, showing your process, not just final screens
-
A link to something you prototyped in code
-
A 2-min intro video (any format you like)
-
A short answer to: "What is the most complex workflow you have simplified – what made it hard, and what did you decide to leave out?"
