Job Description

Lead Applied Machine Learning Engineer

Location: San Francisco (Hybrid)

Package: Up to $425k Base, + Bonus, & Equity

A cutting-edge AI Lab is pushing the boundaries of AGI in mechanical design. We're on a mission to teach AI to think in 3D - moving beyond simple mesh generation; we're developing an unparalleled multimodal foundation model that can create high-resolution, physics-ready, 3D designs in an instant! Our innovative neural representation architecture enables 60x more efficient training, 10x faster inference, and 100x the spatial resolution compared to existing solutions.

We stand alone in our field.

Founded by experts with previous billion-dollar exits, we're backed by top-tier Silicon Valley VCs and seasoned executives from leading companies like Microsoft and Android, along with world-renowned researchers. Our team is composed of graduates from Ivy League schools and elite research institutions.

About the Role:

We are seeking a hands-on ML model builder to lead the advancement of our state-of-the-art foundation model for 3D design and manufacturing. You will tackle complex challenges within a multimodal ML model that seamlessly integrates geometric representations and mechanical reasoning. Your contributions will empower future designers, engineers, and creators to transform their imaginative ideas into reality.

This is a proactive role that sits at the crossroads of ML, technical architecture, and vision, allowing you to not only influence the models but also shape the future of AI in tangible applications. You will play a critical role in translating cutting-edge ML research into impactful products.

Requirements:

  • Extensive experience developing and training large-scale transformer-based models, particularly multimodal or generative systems.
  • Proficient in PyTorch, distributed training, and modern ML infrastructure.
  • Experience iterating on models in a production environment, not just in a research setting.
  • Demonstrated leadership in initiatives that have shaped company direction, product development, or customer experience.

We invite you to connect with us today for immediate consideration and the opportunity to interview!
