Founding AI Engineer – Build the Agent That Will Revolutionise Hardware Design

Software Engineering has been transformed by AI. Hardware is next.

Techmunity is exclusively hiring a Founding AI Engineer on behalf of a stealth-mode AI startup that’s building agentic systems for the physical world — software that can think, plan, and co-design alongside mechanical, aerospace, and robotics engineers.

This is a unique chance to own the AI foundation of a deeply ambitious product — one that aims to become the Copilot for physical engineering.

The Mission
While coding agents like Devin and Cursor have changed how software gets written, physical engineering still runs on outdated tools, slow simulations, and human bandwidth.

This startup is building the intelligent core for physical design — an agent that integrates seamlessly with tools like Onshape and Ansys, reasons across physics and geometry, and helps engineers create better systems faster.

The long-term goal? Engineer real-world systems with AGI-level reasoning — from data centre coolers and drones to starships and beyond.

The Founders
You’ll join a world-class founding team with deep technical and leadership experience:
Founder 1 was the lead engineer at Imperial’s Karman Space Programme, shipped flight code to orbit, and led reusable rocket development.
Founder 2 built London’s first Hyperloop team from scratch, scaling it to 100+ engineers before launching and exiting multiple deep tech ventures.

Investment & Stage
Raised a multi-million-pound pre-seed round from SuperSeed, one of Europe’s top AI funds — early investors in companies like Magic.dev and AI Build.
Currently pre-MVP, with a working demo deployed and design partner pilots kicking off this year. Seed raise anticipated for Spring 2026.

What You’ll Build
As the Founding AI Engineer, you’ll work closely with the CTO to design and deploy the intelligence layer:
Architect agentic systems with memory, planning, and fallback logic
Orchestrate complex workflows using LangGraph, LangChain, or custom infrastructure
Build LLM interfaces to domain-specific tools (CAD/CAE, simulation platforms, etc.)
Implement retrieval systems, embedding pipelines, and evaluation tooling
Contribute to product design — defining how engineers interact with intelligent systems
Integrate into a backend stack built with Python and Rust, deployed via Docker/Kubernetes on AWS

What They’re Looking For
You’re a builder who thrives in ambiguity and wants to work on hard technical problems with world-changing upside.
1–3 years of professional experience building production software (Python or Rust)
Hands-on experience with LLM APIs and frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, Haystack, etc.
Comfortable designing workflows that interact with simulations, APIs, or file systems
Curious about physical systems - ideally with academic or project exposure to mechanical, aerospace, or robotics domains
High-agency mindset: student teams, open source, side projects, or technical competitions all count

The Setup
Location: Hybrid – 3–4 days/week in their Hoxton (London) office
Compensation: Top 1% percentile salary + equity available here
Culture: Technically elite, mission-first, and relentlessly product-focused

Interviews are happening now - for the chance to join as one of the founding members of a future unicorn, message me -

10 AI Recruitment Agencies in the UK You Should Know (2025 Job‑Seeker Guide)

Generative‑AI hype has translated into real hiring: Lightcast recorded +57 % year‑on‑year growth in UK adverts mentioning “machine learning”, “LLM” or “gen‑AI” during Q1 2025. Yet supply still lags. Roughly 18,000 core AI professionals work in the UK, but monthly live vacancies hover around 1,400–1,600. That mismatch makes specialist recruiters invaluable—opening stealth vacancies, advising on salary bands and fast‑tracking interview loops. But many tech agencies sprinkle “AI” on their website without an active desk. To save you time, we vetted 50 + consultancies and kept only those with: A registered UK head office (verified via Companies House). A named AI/Machine‑Learning or Data practice.

AI Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Frameworks, Languages & Tools to Learn Now

As the UK’s AI sector accelerates towards a £1 trillion tech economy, the job landscape is rapidly evolving. Whether you’re an aspiring AI engineer, a machine learning specialist, or a data-driven software developer, staying ahead of the curve means more than just brushing up on Python. You’ll need to master a new generation of frameworks, languages, and tools shaping the future of artificial intelligence. Welcome to the AI Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your definitive guide to the emerging AI tech stack that employers will be looking for in the next 12–24 months. Updated annually for accuracy and relevance, this guide breaks down the top tools, frameworks, platforms, and programming languages powering the UK’s most in-demand AI careers.

How to Find Hidden AI Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & the Turing Society

Stop Scrolling Job Boards and Start Tapping the Real AI Market Every week a new headline announces millions of pounds flowing into artificial-intelligence research, defence initiatives, or health-tech pilots. Read the news and you could be forgiven for thinking that AI vacancies must be everywhere—just grab your laptop, open LinkedIn, and pick a role. Yet anyone who has hunted seriously for an AI job in the United Kingdom knows the truth is messier. A large percentage of worthwhile AI positions—especially specialist or senior posts—never appear on public boards. They emerge inside university–industry consortia, defence labs, NHS data-science teams, climate-tech start-ups, and venture studios. Most are filled through referral or conversation long before a recruiter drafts a formal advert. If you wait for a vacancy link, you are already at the back of the queue. The surest way to beat that dynamic is to embed yourself in the professional bodies and grassroots communities where the work is conceived. The UK has a dense network of such organisations: the Chartered Institute for IT (BCS); the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) with its Artificial Intelligence Technical Network; the Alan Turing Institute and its student-driven Turing Society; the Royal Statistical Society (RSS); the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and its Mechatronics, Informatics & Control Group; public-funding engines like UK Research and Innovation (UKRI); and an ecosystem of Slack channels and Meetup groups that trade genuine, timely intel. This article is a practical, step-by-step guide to using those networks. You will learn: Why professional bodies matter more than algorithmic job boards Exactly which special-interest groups (SIGs) and technical networks to join How to turn CPD events into informal interviews How to monitor grant databases so you hear about posts months before they exist Concrete scripts, portfolio tactics, and outreach rhythms that convert visibility into offers Follow the playbook and you move from passive applicant to insider—the colleague who hears about a role before it is written down.
