Dalus (YC W25) is hiring a founding engineer for hardware system design software

a year ago

Dalus is developing AI-powered software for designing complex hardware systems like rockets, satellites, EVs, aircraft, and nuclear plants.
Current legacy tools hinder fast-paced engineering teams; Dalus' platform aims to make hardware development faster, safer, and more scalable.
The company envisions a future where designing hardware feels as intuitive as working with software (bits).
Dalus is hiring a Founding Engineer #1 to work across the full stack (frontend, backend, AI, systems modeling) and shape the product and company.
The role involves high ownership, rapid learning, and significant impact, with a base salary of $140k-$200k and equity (0.5-2.5%).
The company recently completed Y Combinator's W25 batch, has revenue, and collaborates with aerospace, robotics, and defense customers.
The work environment is intense—fast-paced, late hours, and weekend work—but offers unparalleled growth opportunities.
The hiring process includes 2-3 short technical interviews and an onsite project-based evaluation.
