Role Description We're on a mission to radically transform the way we design and construct our built environment. Eagle acquires and transforms civil, structural, and MEP engineering firms with applied AI. Our core thesis: 85% of what engineers do today is theoretically automatable, yet less than 5% has actually been touched by AI. That gap is the largest of any profession. What you'll do: - Walk us through your day-to-day and project-to-project workflows in detail. - Talk through real (appropriately anonymized) projects so we understand the design intent behind work. - Pressure-test product ideas and early prototypes: tell us, candidly, where they'd save real time, where they'd add risk, and where they fall apart against real practice. - Help us map where mechanical hands off to electrical, plumbing, structural, and architectural - and where coordination and clash detection actually break down. - Distill where the work is irreducible engineering judgment versus repetitive process that's ripe for automation. Qualifications - A licensed PE in mechanical engineering (or equivalent senior experience) who has led HVAC and mechanical systems design on real building projects. - Fluent in tools like Revit MEP, AutoCAD, and load/energy modeling software (e.g., Trane Trace, Carrier HAP). - Deep curiosity for how things work - and the ability to explain why the work is done the way it is. - Opinionated about your discipline's workflows - including what's broken about them. Requirements - Competitive hourly rate ($100–$150/hour, set by discipline depth and licensure). - 1099 independent contractor engagement (standard contractor onboarding, including a W-9). - Part-time and flexible - a few hours a week, scheduled around your full-time practice. - Remote, U.S.-based. Confidentiality We take client and project confidentiality seriously. We'll work with you to ensure nothing proprietary to your employer or your clients is ever exposed.
• Prototype AI-native ideas in code, fast. Take a concept from Figma or an LLM conversation to a working production-grade React code in days, owning layout, interaction, motion, accessibility, and performance; • Ship production-grade Growth surfaces. Own key surfaces end to end: layout, interaction, motion, accessibility, performance; • Own the quality ceiling. AI is raising the floor on execution; your job is the ceiling — the judgment, taste, and interaction craft AI can't supply.

Improve our processes, patterns, and prompt libraries so the rest of the team can move at your pace; • Set the quality bar for AI-assisted output. Partner with design leadership to define what ‘good’ looks like when shipping with AI — through reviews, examples, and reusable patterns others can lean on; • Trailblaze the Design Engineer function at PandaDoc. Own work end to end, from problem framing to launch, and shape how this role operates as the first hire in it; • Measure your impact two ways: what you ship, and how much faster the team ships because of you.
