Develop CAD automation pipelines and collaborate with teams to optimize designs for micromachines, ensuring manufacturability and functionality.
Atomic Machines is ushering in a new era of micromanufacturing with its Matter Compiler™ technology platform. This platform enables new classes of micromachines to be designed and built by providing manufacturing processes and a materials library that are inaccessible to semiconductor manufacturing methods. It unlocks MEMS manufacturing not only for device classes that could never be produced by semiconductor methods, but also for entirely new categories. Furthermore, this digital platform is fully programmable in the way 3D printing is digital—but whereas 3D printing produces parts of a single material using a single process, the Matter Compiler™ technology platform is a multi-process, multi-material system: bits and raw materials go in, and complete, functional micromachines come out. The Atomic Machines team has also created an exciting first device—made possible only through the Matter Compiler™ technology platform—that we will be unveiling to the world soon.
Our offices are in Emeryville and Santa Clara, California.
About this role
As a Generative AI CAD Engineer, you can shape our CAD/automation workflows by developing generative and programmatic CAD pipelines that transform design specifications into manufacturable micro-device assemblies. You'll collaborate closely with our AI, Modeling & Simulation, and Design engineers to build systems that automatically explore, assemble, and optimize designs from a library of components. You will join a tight cross-functional team dedicated to pushing the limits of computational design.
This position is onsite in our Emeryville, CA office, with openness to an occasional work-from-home arrangement when needed.
When referring to the compensation band below, keep in mind that it can vary depending on the candidate's experience and level. This posting is not associated with a specific level, but it spans Junior, Senior, and Staff levels, i.e. L4 to L6. The level will be defined upon application. We actively encourage recent graduates, PhDs, and postdocs to apply. A strong research record can substitute for industry experience, and we will consider strong Junior candidates who are excited to grow into a leadership role.
What You'll Do:
- Develop GenAI-driven workflows for CAD generation and automated design exploration.
- Build CAD workflows that programmatically construct, modify, and evaluate 3D assemblies.
- Create and maintain a library of parametric components for generative design exploration and training.
- Curate and parse large sets of CAD models with product, manufacturing, and tolerance information into both standardized APIs and batchable datasets for training generative models.
What You'll Need:
Required
- 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. Recent graduates are welcome.
Nice to have
- Strong background in programmatic CAD workflows or programmatic 3D geometry (e.g., with Onshape API, SolidWorks API, Fusion API, CadQuery, Build123d, FreeCAD, or similar).
- 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.
- Experience with Model-Based Definitions.
- Experience with simulation-in-the-loop design, shape optimization, or topology optimization workflows.
- Contributions to open-source CAD, geometry, or 3D ML libraries.
The compensation for this position also includes equity and benefits.
