Careers

Work on copperhead

We are a small team building an agent that designs circuit boards and then proves its own work. The tool is open source, the board it was proven on is open hardware and the benchmark behind both is public, so most of what you would build here is something you can show to whoever hires you next.

Open roles

How we work

  • Open by default

    The CLI, the board it was built on and this website are all public repositories. Working in the open is the default here and closing something is the decision that needs a reason.

  • Evidence before claims

    Everything this site says about the agent is either measured or marked as unmeasured. The research section exists so the numbers can be recomputed by someone who has no reason to believe us.

  • Small, and slow to grow

    Every hire is a large fraction of the team, so the process is short and the answer comes back quickly either way. You talk to the people you would work with, because there is nobody else to talk to.

  • Hardware in the loop

    We work together in one room in Bengaluru, next to the boards. Benches, parts and fab runs are paid for. Nobody has ever verified a layout by reading it.

If none of that fits

Roles here get written around a person about as often as the other way round. If you have built something in this area and nothing above describes it, send the thing itself: a board, a repository, a teardown, a bug report you are still pleased with. It tells us more than a CV does and it is what we would ask for on the second email anyway.

Introduce yourself

The repository is the fastest way to work out whether you would enjoy this, and the blog is the argument behind it. Both are open to be picked apart before you write to us.
