Machine Learning Software Engineer

About Us

KittyCAD's mission is to develop the world's most advanced hardware design infrastructure and tools. Mechanical CAD is in the dark ages, and design demands have outpaced today's hardware design infrastructure. The industry is due for a refresh, and the solution is obvious: programmable CAD and a GPU-optimized CAD engine. Our Design API and Geometry Engine are being built from the ground up for modern computers, and are validated through tools built by our team and our customers. We're laying the foundation to build modern hardware design tools, so that you can create revolutionary experiences as fast as you can dream them up. KittyCAD was founded and incubated by Embedded Ventures in 2021, and is fully remote.

About You

We're looking for curious, innovative, and ambitious self-starters to join our lean and growing team to help us bring our mission to life. Our culture has innovation at its core in order to achieve competitive growth and success in our industry. We think you'll thrive on our team if you're:

• Curate and maintain large annotated datasets to train ML models at a massive scale
• Interact with CAD models and modeling/shape setups
• Experiment with various proof of concepts and ideas for our use cases

What You'll Need

• B.S. Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
• Professional experience with PyTorch, or any of the current machine learning frameworks
• Experience with CAD software and processes, and modeling/shape algorithms
• Strong programming skill with Python, and one low-level language such as Rust or C++
• Experience with Git
• Prior experience working on a production system
• Familiarity with distributed systems

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation & equity packages
• Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage for you and your dependents
