Want to realize a quantum leap in building technology design and bring state-of-the-art technology to the construction industry?

At Planlabs, we are a small and diverse team working in Switzerland and Ukraine on the future of construction technology. We are building a cloud-native platform for qualified decision making and automated 3D planning of sustainable building technology systems for the AEC industry.

Planlabs is a deep-tech spin-off company of the HHM group. Together with renowned partners we have demonstrated the disruptive potential of generative design for MEP (Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing) planning – enabling a new level of speed and efficiency in various stages of the planning process. Join us in our mission to disrupt MEP planning and create value for engineers, contractors, and architects. We are looking for a passionate, pragmatic, and hands-on individual to complement and grow our diverse team of committed experts.

We are strengthening the engine team, which is responsible for the development of our generative design engine. In this position, you will:

• Perform applied research on experimental areas to bring radically new ideas / approaches to the engine
• Conceive and prototype new algorithms, bringing new features to the engine.
• Implement approved prototype versions into robust, memory and performance optimized versions, and deploy them into production.
• Review and increase stability and performance of the already existing set of algorithms.
• Closely collaborate with the back-end and plug-in development teams.
• Maintain the engine in the production environment (bugfixes, package updates, …) and execute the release schedule of the engine in the production environment (planning and releasing of patch, minor and major releases).
• Oversee the code-coverage and quality of the automated test framework (implemented by the QA team).

For this position, we are looking for a passionate person who brings the following to our team:

• Background in computer science, mathematics, physics, software engineering, and 5+ years of experience in a similar role.
• Strong programming skills in Python, C++ and SQL.
• Proven track record in algorithmic development.
• Hands-on experience with data science, machine learning and deep learning.
• Hands-on experience with iterative solvers and traditional optimization algorithms (continuous as well as combinatorial).
• Experience with graph theory and computational geometry.
• Sound knowledge of data structures.
• Industry experience in memory and computational complexity optimization, parallelization and multi-threading.
• Experience with REST-API integrations and open source software.
• Experience with cloud services, Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform), Docker, and familiarity with Linux systems.
• Familiarity with CI/CD tools.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.

Bonus Points

• PhD in the above mentioned disciplines
• Hands-on experience with reinforcement learning.
• Hands-on experience with training and deployment of machine learning and deep-learning models
• Experience with GPU acceleration.
• Experience with CFD (computational fluid dynamics)
• Experience C# and React
• Experience with automated testing frameworks
• German language

Our company tech stack

The following stacks are crucial for this role:

• Python, C++, MySQL
• Rest-APIs
• AWS & GitHub

So, what’s in it for you other than your dream job? We offer to you:

• A unique, entrepreneurial opportunity to co-create a game-changing tech business.
• Autonomy to build & scale the product as you best see fit.
• A remote-friendly work environment with flexible working hours and modern office space in Aarau and Rotkreuz (CH).
• Market remuneration, as well as the possibility for a PSOP plan.
• Passionate, diverse team with flat hierarchy and fast decision-making.
• Flexible work mentality to have a good work-life-balance.

Join our team and contribute to our success. We are committed to building a diverse culture and are looking for talented people, not just a CV that ticks all the boxes. Even if you do not have absolutely everything we have asked for, if this role sounds like a good fit for you, we encourage you to apply!
