We’re MorphoAI, a venture-backed deep-tech company working to reinvent the way people engineer robots, heavy machinery, surgical devices, and other complex dynamical cyber-physical systems. We’re building a new AI-powered invention platform to allow anyone to build embodied intelligence faster, cheaper, and better. We are a team of passionate engineers, scientists and manufacturers that want to help shorten how long it takes to bring robots and machines to market. We are obsessed with technical problems and much as we are obsessed with customer problems. Our application areas are currently including robotic system integration, lab automation, industrial manufacturing, and dexterous manipulation. Our founding team has ex-founders and people from MIT CSAIL, Harvard Business School, JPL, Disney, Intel, VC funds, and manufacturing companies. We have an office in Boston and are opening up an office in the UK.

What you'll do

• As a founding engineer, you will work directly with the CTO and partially with the CEO on critical parts of the product roadmap to develop and deploy new critical new capabilities.
• Build and deploy products for SMB and enterprise customers that will have a huge, tangible impact on customers’ product development.
• Engage with customers to understand how users think about their problems and how we can develop usable products to solve them.

What you’ll bring

• 2+ years experience in hands-on software development of highly technical products or a PhD in a CS or robotics-related field (e.g. MechE, ECE, etc.)..
• Past experience in software development, ideally for deployed products, open-source projects, or large codebases 
• Past experience working with control systems, Ideally having broad working knowledge in more than one of the following:
• Numerical optimization
• Generative AI development and its underlying core methodology
• Physical simulation and scientific computing
• Advanced robotic control methods 
• Geometry processing representations and algorithms
• Comfortable owning projects end-to-end, from ideation to deployment to maintenance
• Intense curiosity, a desire to be continuously learning, grit, and an ability to communicate your technical ideas to a team
• Product-minded with bent towards ideating
• Proficiency in Python and leading ML frameworks such as Jax and PyTorch

Even better...

• Experience working at a startup as an early hire, and being in charge of deploying product and code
• Past roles that interface with end customers to influence software development
• Proficiency in additional programming languages including (e.g.) C++ and C#.
• Experience programming CUDA kernels for GPU-acceleration, and integration of those kernels with ML frameworks.
• Experience with visual computing domain-specific languages (DSLs) such as NVIDIA Warp or Taichi-Lang.
• Previous development work in Unity or NVIDIA Omniverse.

What we offer

We offer the following to full-time employees:

• 20 days off/ year
• Medical and dental benefits 
• Health and wellness discount plan
• 401(k) account
• Factorio (and other games) gaming buddies

We use computational design, simulation in the loop and GenAI and Optimizaiton algorithms developed by the team during their time at MIT to bring this to life. the team has written more than 30 foundational papers on the space.

We're making it easy for engineers to generate 100s of designs and find the needle in the haystack with these algorithms in minutes, not years. We are starting out witha. focus on robotics and automation hardware.
