Forward-Deployed Software Engineer

Artifact is a collaborative IDE for hardware engineers - accelerating every step in the engineering lifecycle:

Design → Procurement → Manufacturing → Integration → Test → Sustainment

We've raised $3.5M to build an integrated, verifiable AI copilot with an intuitive UI that reflects how hardware actually gets built. Every artifact is auto-generated and traceable to a single-source of truth.

We believe hardware engineering should be rigorous, deliberate, and system-aware. We work directly with customers solving the world's hardest technical problems to modernize how complex hardware is engineered.

As a forward-deployed software engineer at Artifact, you'll be the bridge between our core engineering team and the world's most advanced hardware companies. You'll work side-by-side with customers to understand their engineering needs, build tailored solutions, and ensure Artifact integrates into their workflows.

Role:

• Interface with aerospace, robotics, and manufacturing companies to deploy and support Artifact
• Build applications, pipelines, and scripts to support customer deployments, feature-requests, and bug fixes
• Collaborate with core engineering team to determine product priorities, system architecture, and UX design
• Travel occasionally to customer sites to support deployments, train users, and gather feedback

Qualifications:

• 3+ years of experience as a full-stack software engineer (e.g. react, typescript, python)
• Familiar with physical systems (e.g. robotics, aerospace, automotive, industrial)
• Able to debug across the stack and motivated to deliver robust fixes quickly
• Strong communication skills and experience working directly with cross-functional teams
