Measurement Software Engineer

About us:

Axiomatic AI is building a new class of AI systems designed to reason with the rigor of the scientific method. By combining deep learning with formal logic and physics-based modeling, we create verifiable, interpretable AI systems that collaborate with and support human researchers in high-stakes scientific and engineering workflows. 

Our mission, 30×30, is to deliver a 30× improvement in the speed, accessibility, and cost of semiconductor and photonic hardware development by 2030. 

We aim to revolutionize hardware design and simulation in these industries and are building a team of highly motivated professionals to bring these innovations from research into commercial products.

Position overview

We are seeking a Measurement Software Engineer to architect AX-Measure, the backbone of our autonomous lab. You will build the robust software layers that translate high-level AI decisions into precise, low-level hardware commands. Your code will control millions of dollars of equipment, handle terabytes of measurement data, and ensure that our "self-driving" lab never crashes.

Responsibilities

• You will build unified APIs that allow our AI agents to control diverse instruments (including oscilloscopes, network analyzers, SMUs, signal generators, lasers)  


• Implement high-concurrency execution engines to orchestrate parallel measurements across multiple wafer chucks or cryostats.


• Architect data pipelines and storage layer to ingest high-frequency data streams efficiently and make them instantly queryable for the AI models.


• Build "guardrail" logic that prevents the AI from requesting unsafe operations and verifies the outputs of the AI


• Integration of measurement results with data analysis and modelling frameworks for closed loop semiconductor development

Requirements

• B.S./M.S. in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or a related field


• 2+ years experience with production-Grade Python, packaging (Poetry/UV), type hinting, decorators, context managers, and packaging


• 2+ years experience automating hardware via VISA, SCPI, TCP/IP, or gRPC


• 2+ years experience designing SDKs or APIs


• 2+ years experience in developing structured scientific data formats (HDF5) and time-series databases.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Rust or C++ for performance-critical loops


• Familiarity with containerization (Docker) for deploying measurement runtimes


• Hands-on experience in electro-optic measurements of bare dies, wafers, packaged chips, and boards


• Experience with concurrent and asynchronous software systems, software testing and reliability, and production-grade robustness (observability, failure handling, safe degradation)


• High agency: self-starter, no task too large or too small attitude.

What we offer:

• Competitive compensation


• Stock Options Plan: Empowering you to share in our success and growth.


• Cutting-Edge Tools: Access to state-of-the-art tools and collaborative opportunities with leading experts in artificial intelligence, physics, hardware and electronic design automation.


• Work-Life Balance: Flexible work arrangements in one of our offices, and sponsored visit to other Axiomatic Offices around the world.


• Professional Growth: Opportunities to attend industry conferences, present research findings, and engage with the global AI research community.


• Impact-Driven Culture: Join a passionate team focused on solving some of the most challenging problems at the intersection of AI and hardware.
