About the role

  • This position is onsite in our Emeryville, CA office, with openness to an occasional work-from-home arrangement when needed.
  • This role is not tied to a single level and may span earlier-in-career through senior-level candidates (L4-L6).
  • Final leveling will be determined during the interview process.

Responsibilities

  • Manipulating and parametrizing CAD models to support iterative design and optimization.
  • Developing geometric intelligence - algorithms that infer how parts mate, fit, and interact to form functional assemblies.
  • Create and maintain a library of parametric components for generative design exploration.
  • Develop GenAI-driven workflows for CAD generation and automated design exploration.
  • Knowledge of AI-based CAD generation or generative design algorithms.
  • Experience in parsing large sets of CAD models with product and manufacturing information to create batchable datasets for training.

Requirements

  • Deep expertise in CAD manipulation and parametrization, including scripting and automation (e.g., with Onshape API, SolidWorks API, Fusion API, or similar).
  • Proficiency in interacting with CAD software via APIs (Python, C++, or other relevant languages).
  • Bachelor's or Master's or PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computational Design, Computer Science, or a related field.

Nice to have

  • Experience with geometric modeling kernels (e.g., OpenCascade, Parasolid).
  • Experience in mastering NURBS and B-Rep.
  • Experience with meshing, especially for simulation or manufacturing purposes.
  • Experience with Model-Based Definitions.
  • Experience with implicit geometric representations.
  • Experience with simulation-in-the-loop design, shape optimization, or topology optimization workflows.

Compensation

  • $210,000 - $260,000 USD

Company info

  • We are open to strong earlier-career candidates who are excited to grow into broader technical leadership or architectural responsibility over time.
