Computational Design Research Engineer

Role Overview This role is a mix of a few worlds coming together. You’ll be working with machine learning but not in a vacuum it’s applied to real engineering problems, working with 2D and 3D data from CAD, CAE, and CAM systems. What You Will Do Design, develop, and maintain geometry processing and simulation algorithms for engineering applications. Build services for reading, processing, and writing 2D/3D engineering data. Develop rendering modules for generating 2D/3D visual assets. Why It Might Be a Fit We’re looking for someone who’s strong technically, especially in Python and ML, but also has the curiosity to dig into how things are designed and built in the real world. Requirements 5+ years of academic or industry experience in one or more of the following areas: Geometric Processing, Simulation, Optimization, Machine Learning, or Domain-Specific Languages. Proficient in writing clean, modular, and maintainable Python code. Experience with dataset creation and data pipeline development. PhD or MS with a focus in Computational Design, Simulation, or AI. Experience developing CAD/CAM/CAE software tools. Experience developing or fine-tuning large language models (LLMs), including post-training methods such as quantization, pruning, distillation, or reinforcement learning. Experience designing or implementing DSLs or compilers.
