CAD Evaluation Engineer

CAD Evaluation Engineer (Remote) […] is seeking an engineer strong in CAD, CAE, or mechanical engineering (or related fields) who is also comfortable writing code to analyze and evaluate CAD models. In this role, you will bridge mechanical engineering principles (FEA, structural analysis) with automation pipelines that evaluate how effectively AI models perform technical design tasks.

Build, adapt, and maintain execution harnesses that programmatically interface CAD platforms and simulation solvers with AI evaluation and RL training frameworks. Design standardized benchmark tasks and physical ground-truth tests for CAD modeling, FEA, static stress, and thermal analysis workflows. Inspect, debug, and grade CAD models, feature tree failures, constraint errors, and geometry rebuild issues generated by language models and RL agents.

Implement automated scoring scripts, deterministic validation checks, and reward metrics to grade model tool-use, geometry validity, and physics accuracy.

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field (recent graduates welcome). Sound understanding of core Mechanical Engineering simulation principles (FEA, static analysis, stress, thermal mechanics, constraints). Hands-on experience with parametric CAD software (SolidWorks, FreeCAD, Fusion 360, CadQuery, NX, or Creo).

Must be comfortable to work with or willing to learn Python (or another programmi
