Software Engineer, AI CAD Workflow Automation
Focused Energy is building the future of clean energy through laser-driven inertial fusion. Backed by our $240M Series A — the largest fully secured Series A in the global fusion industry — we are scaling rapidly across multiple geographies.
Based in Germany and the US, we have brought together the top scientific and engineering minds using proven technologies to unlock fusion power at commercial scale. Focused Energy is working to realize game-changing scientific innovation that promises to deliver a clean, sustainable and abundant source of power globally.
YOUR ROLE
Focused Energy is looking for a Software Engineer II to join our team and build AI-assisted design workflows that help our mechanical and physical engineering teams turn complex requirements into design solutions and CAD drawings faster. Today, the mechanical engineering team relies on manual CAD creation for complex parts, a process that slows down design exploration and delays experimental iteration as we scale toward commercial fusion power.
In this role, you will design, build, and deploy internal software tools and automated workflows that generate CAD and part drawings from complex physical and mechanical requirements. ver the next 6–18 months, you'll help establish the standards, runbooks, and training that allow mechanical engineers to safely and effectively use AI-generated CAD outputs, directly accelerating our design exploration speed as we move toward commercial-scale fusion.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Design and build scalable, maintainable internal software tools and workflows that automate the generation of CAD and part drawings from complex requirements.
- Translate physical and mechanical requirements into clear software designs, parametric CAD scripts, and automated design workflows.
- Teach mechanical and hardware engineers how to intake requirements and iterate on design solutions using AI-assisted CAD workflows.
- Collaborate with mechanical engineering, software, and s...
