About this role

As a Generative AI CAD Engineer at Atomic Machines, you will develop generative and programmatic CAD workflows to transform design specifications into manufacturable micro-device assemblies. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to create systems that optimize designs from a library of components, and curate large sets of CAD models for training generative models. This role is primarily onsite in Emeryville, CA, with some flexibility for remote work.

What you need

  • Knowledge of AI-based CAD generation, generative models for 3D geometry, or generative design algorithms, demonstrated through coursework, research, publications, or substantial projects.
  • Proficiency in interacting with CAD or geometry tooling via APIs (Python, Rust, or other relevant languages).
  • Familiarity with CAD interoperability standards (STEP, IGES, JT, GLTF, or similar).
  • Experience with NURBS and B-Rep.
  • Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Computational Design, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Applied Math, or a related field.

Nice to have

  • Experience with CAD manipulation and parametrization, including scripting and automation.
  • Experience with geometric modeling kernels (e.g., OpenCascade, Parasolid).
  • Experience with implicit geometric representations (SDFs, neural fields, occupancy networks).
  • Experience with meshing, especially for simulation or manufacturing purposes.

What you get

  • Equity and benefits.

Worth weighing

  • Salary range is $210,000 to $260,000, which may vary based on experience and level.
  • Position is not associated with a specific level, which may lead to ambiguity in role expectations.
