Automate Engineering. Build Faster.

About us

Bench is an AI-native engineering platform that automates design tasks across CAD and simulations (CAE) - the complex workflows that were impossible to automate and always required a human engineer. Commit more time to R&D, iterate more and get to market faster - all without scaling headcount.

    CEO @ Bench | Mechanical Engineer

    Excited to share that Luc Groshens has joined Bench as our newest Founding Engineer! Luc is an Imperial College London Aerospace Engineer who's been in the trenches at world-class engineering and software companies. - Transformed prototype testing at Rolls-Royce by building ML solutions adopted by hundreds, all the way up to the CTO. - Delivered core toolboxes at MathWorks, implemented across automotive, aerospace, and robotics companies. - Shipped generative design algorithms at Autodesk, now used for building complex mechanical assemblies. He also researched novel machine-learning methods for fluid control during his time at Imperial. Luc - welcome to Bench, keep killing it! 🚀 ➡️ We only hire cracked engineers who have built hardware and lived the problem we’re solving. We’re not currently hiring, but if that’s you and you’re looking for a role in ops, sales or software, drop me a message and let’s talk.

    CEO @ Bench | Mechanical Engineer

    At Bench, we only hire engineers who have built hardware and lived the problems we’re solving. We believe it’s the only way to build a truly industry defining company. And Mohammad Kapadia, our Founding Engineer, fits that bill perfectly. - Studied Aerospace Engineering at Imperial College London. - Researched using quantum echo state networks for turbulent flow prediction. - Built and launched liquid propulsion rockets, leading a team of 20 at Imperial College London Rocketry. He also engineered and deployed AI products to thousands of customers, notably including agentic workflows. Mohkap - we’re excited to have you join our mission! 👨🚀 P.S. I’m always open to connecting with A* engineers looking for roles across software, sales and ops. We’re not hiring now, but if our mission excites you, drop me a message and let’s speak.

    CEO @ Bench | Mechanical Engineer

    🚀 We’ve raised £1M to solve AI’s next frontier - hardware design. Hardware is how we solve our biggest challenges - from climate to energy to interplanetary life. Yet, engineers are still wasting hours on mindless CAD edits, wrangling multiple softwares to optimise parts and manually updating requirements. On the surface, this sounds harmless. But scaled over a company, industry or even country, it’s the delta between winners and losers. (and between the future we want, and the one we’ll end up with otherwise) Raihaan and I have experienced these bottlenecks firsthand, when leading 100+ engineers to build rockets at Karman Space Programme and Hyperloop pods at Hyperlink. And Bench is how we're changing that. We’ve now raised a £1M pre-seed round led by SuperSeed, with participation from Vanagon, ellipsis, Buildery.vc, Revenue Syndicate and Maximilian Wittmann, CFA. Also, a huge shout out to our earliest supporters - EWOR and ROI VENTURES. 👉 What is Bench? ⁠- Bench is an AI-powered engineering workflow automation platform. - You turn engineering tasks into workflows in seconds. ⁠- Bench runs these workflows through your existing software stack - no need to change your CAD, CAE, or PLM tools. 👉 How will it help you? ⁠- Run more design-test iterations, faster than ever. ⁠- Free up engineers for high-impact R&D (not busywork). - Accelerate your time to market - without growing headcount. Hardware is the next frontier for AI. Bench is how this frontier becomes a reality. P.S. Curious how Bench can help your team ship faster? Drop a comment or DM - always happy to share more.
