About Ada IQ
Ada IQ is reshaping how consumer products are imagined, validated, and launched—using AI. Born out of Northeastern and the University of Michigan, we’ve published 10+ papers, filed 4 patents, and secured over $1.25M in non-dilutive funding. Backed by Techstars Boston, we’re building a category-defining platform at the intersection of AI, CAD, and product development.
We’re now hiring a technical co-founder to join as CTO and lead our technical strategy, execution, and team building.
The Role
You’re not just writing code—you’re building a company. As our Founding CTO, you’ll:
* Architect and own Ada IQ’s core product and tech stack.
* Lead development of our AI-powered design and validation platform.
* Recruit and manage a high-performing team of engineers, ML researchers, and designers.
* Roll up your sleeves: prototype, model, build early infrastructure, and launch.
* Work closely with the CEO on product-market fit, pilots, and roadmap.
* Shape integrations with CAD, PLM, and digital design ecosystems.
You Might Be a Fit If You:
* Have led technical development for a startup, ideally from 0→1.
* Are fluent in AI/ML and passionate about generative tools or design systems.
* Can code and build now, then scale later.
* Want to own the architecture, data strategy, and technical decision-making.
* Are excited to co-create a platform that transforms how physical products are designed.
Why This Role?
* Significant equity in a high-conviction deep tech company.
* You’ll have founder-level ownership over tech, team, and product vision.
* Join a proven founding team with traction, grants, and top-tier network access.
* Opportunity to help close our next round and define what “AI for physical product design” means.
