AI Engineer (m/f/d) for Chat-to-CAD / CAD-Automation

Job description

Do you love using AI models to automate CAD design? Welcome to CADAICO, the home for curious developers, AI nerds, geeks and engineering talents, with a focus on CAD design. # Only applications accompanied by a covering letter will be considered. # A large part of our work involves taking a wide variety of inputs – text, drawings, technical documentation – and extracting as much information as possible from them, feeding it into a CAD design pipeline. Tell us in two or three sentences where you’ve built something like this before: What were the challenges involved, and how did you solve them? Our dev team is small but excellent – just two or three people. Your work is immediately visible and makes a difference from day one. If you’re looking for real responsibility, this is the place for you. Our start-up CADAICO, the ‘Chat-to-Design’ company, is a start-up based in Stuttgart founded by Pedram, a former mid-level manager in mechanical engineering, and Daniel, an AI researcher from KIT. Our team builds software that combines AI methods with conventional algorithms – enabling mechanical engineers to create their designs automatically , rather than manually using CAD tools. With promising projects in the pipeline, we have a solid foundation for the next phase of growth and are looking for people who think independently, take responsibility and want to build real AI products that will shape the field of mechanical engineering. Aufgaben What you’ll be doing with us Gradually develop the AI core of our Chat-to-Design product: from the LLM integration right through to the production-ready CAD pipeline Ensure that our software learns from customers’ specific needs – via versioned system prompts, knowledge bases, rule sets, feedback and memory systems. Achieve customer-specific customisation through architecture rather than weighting Teach our product to reliably extract all the necessary information from a small number of very different inputs – including non-textual ones – and feed it into a CAD pipeline , complete with the necessary retrieval and knowledge modules for design and component data Create Agentic Workflows: tool use, function calling, multi-stage reasoning and robust error handling Implement complex AI ideas as reliable, productive software features – in collaboration with our engineers.
