Founding Research Engineer

About the role

We’re building the founding research team at Adam. At Adam, we’re tackling a frontier problem: training AI models to intelligently interpret and edit parametric CAD in 3D space. This demands creativity, deep technical ability, and novel thinking.

Responsibilities

• Train models that generate CAD from natural language
• Build effective vector representations of CAD features
• Design evals to measure geometric accuracy in 3D space
• Optimize inference for faster CAD edits
• Create RL environments to teach long-horizon agents to perform design tasks end-to-end

Requirements

• Are excited to explore and push the boundaries of LLMs, especially in the domain of 3D and CAD generation
• Have trained and served state-of-the-art models
• Can own the full AI stack, from data collection to model training, evaluation, and inference
• Have a track record of original contributions in ML (first-author papers, open-source projects, or shipped systems)
• Operate with high agency and own problems end-to-end

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in machine learning
• Experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Python, Torch/PyTorch, and Machine Learning

Benefits

• Competitive compensation range of $160K - $250K
