What the role involves
We’re looking for candidates with experience building complex interactive products. If you enjoy writing code for interactive experiences, have experience architecting schemas and backend architectures, in a fast paced environment, you’re likely a fit for this role.
As part of our founding product team you may
- Understand and be an expert on customer problems in the domains of EPC, manufacturing, materials, semiconductors
- Build AI agents that can solve customer problems (specifically problems like design generation, design checking, parameter optimization, simulation runs, design of experiment, etc)
- Build interactive interfaces to work with visual data (documents, CAD drawings, etc)
- Invent novel interfaces / products that are dynamically reconfigurable with LLM coding
- Architect heterogeneous (CPU + GPU) backend architectures that are performant
- Work on workflow orchestration systems
Qualifications (none of these are hard requirements)
- Industry experience with our tech stack (TypeScript, Python, Next.js, React, AWS, very occasionally Rust / WebGL)
- Experience building data labeling tools, workflow orchestration systems, and other interactive applications
- Experience using various simulation tools (Aspen HYSYS, COMSOL, Simulink, Hexagon Smart P&ID, TCAD, EDA)
- Good visual taste / an appreciation for aesthetics
- Strong communication skills
- Interest in manufacturing / engineering / EPC
What they ask for
About Outerport
Building out new LNG plants, HVAC systems, or semiconductor processes rely on hundreds of iterations of feasibility testing (through simulation or real-world lab tests) where different designs (combinations of equipment) and parameters are validated. The parameters are often locked in PDFs (datasheets, wiring diagrams, PFDs/P&IDs) which take thousands of hours to convert into CSVs / JSONs, and the simulators don't have an easy API to work with. Outerport bridges the gap by finding documents from PLMs, extracting structured data from drawings, building a knowledge graph over them, and building autonomous AI agents that can fully automate this R&D process by running simulations and performing design checks.
