Role overview
- Eagle is seeking an Applied AI Engineer to build systems that automate the most time-consuming parts of civil engineering. Our goal is unleash civil engineers to focus on design, not documentation.
- You'll work alongside civil engineers daily, translating real-world infrastructure challenges into production AI solutions for water, transportation, and utility projects.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate directly with civil engineers to understand domain-specific workflows and translate them into AI-powered tools
- Build AI systems that automate drafting, calculations, and documentation — freeing engineers to focus on higher-value design work
- Develop spatial reasoning models that can interpret blueprints and generate preliminary designs for standard infrastructure projects
- Create agents that synthesize regulatory standards, run modeling simulations, and automate repetitive engineering tasks
- Integrate LLMs and multimodal models into production workflows that serve real engineering teams
- Own the full lifecycle — from prototyping and experimentation to deployment and iteration
- 5+ years of experience in software engineering, with 2+ years focused on applied AI/ML
- Hands-on experience building and deploying LLM-based applications in production
- Strong Python skills and familiarity with ML frameworks (PyTorch, HuggingFace, etc.)
- Experience with RAG architectures, prompt engineering, and/or fine-tuning
- Comfort with ambiguity—you can take a fuzzy problem and figure out what to build
- Bonus: Experience with computer vision, CAD file formats, or spatial data
- Bonus: Background in engineering, AEC, or other technical domains
About the company
- Eagle is an AI native platform on a mission to unleash engineering services for the built environment.
- We acquire and scale world-class civil engineering firms by putting proprietary technology into the hands of the engineers who design our nation’s critical infrastructure (think water systems, power utilities, bridges, and more).
- Our ambition is to create the first AI-native engineering design firm to meet the country's generational energy, climate, and infrastructure needs.
- We're backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners, a global venture capital firm*.*
