nTop is a software platform for engineering design automation. It generates and validates mission-ready geometry automatically from robust parametric/implicit models, enabling engineers to explore thousands of design variants quickly and reliably. The platform connects geometry generation to physics evaluation (user solvers or Physics AI), captures design logic for reuse across programs, and targets high-performance industries such as aerospace, propulsion, motorsports and energy. nTop is positioned as a tool to scale engineering throughput and move trade studies from estimates to physics-backed decisions.

📋 Description

• Build, recruit, hire, and develop a small, senior engineering team responsible for workload orchestration • Define the architecture for headless execution and workload orchestration across workstations, on-prem HPC, and cloud • Make build vs. integrate vs. partner decisions for owned systems • Write production code, review pull requests, and make architectural decisions as a player-coach • Lead integrations with HEEDS, ModelCenter, PhysicsX Flux, and cloud-native job services • Deliver the headless pipeline covering job definition, submission, monitoring, failure handling, and results collection • Translate product strategy into engineering plans with the Product Manager • Provide technical input on feasibility, sequencing, and risk; propose alternatives and push back on unrealistic plans • Engage directly with customer engineering and IT teams to design systems for constrained environments • Report to the CTO and align initial architecture with the CTO • Establish engineering practices including CI/CD, testing, incident response, and deployment

🎯 Requirements

• 7+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years managing engineering teams; experience building and shipping distributed systems or infrastructure software • Hands-on expertise with Docker, Kubernetes, and at least one cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure) • Deep understanding of job scheduling and compute-intensive workloads at scale • Experience shipping into customer-managed environments — on-prem, hybrid, or air-gapped • Track record of building teams: recruiting, developing, and making hard performance calls • Strong collaboration skills with PMs, designers, and field engineers; able to reason about customer value, not just technical elegance • Preferred: HPC, scientific computing, or engineering simulation background (Slurm, PBS, HEEDS, ModelCenter, OpenMDAO) • Preferred: Experience building for customers with ITAR/EAR obligations or strict IT governance • Preferred: Familiarity with consumption-based pricing transitions • Preferred: Comfort reading and reasoning about C++ codebases
