Mechanical Engineer, AI Integration
How You'll Contribute
Partnership Execution (DFM/IQE)
- Geometric Feature Analysis: Analyze native 3D CAD models to identify complex geometric topologies, specific features (such as deep pockets, complex threads, thin walls), and GD&T annotations to verify that Xometry's automated engine is reading them accurately.
- Integration Support: Assist in testing and validating the real-time manufacturability (DFM) and pricing feedback loops embedded directly within Siemens NX and Teamcenter workflows.
Hands-on AI Collaboration & Data Labeling
- Engineering Ground-Truth: Partner daily with Data Scientists and Machine Learning engineers to provide the "ground-truth" engineering logic required to train Generative AI models.
- Multimodal Data Processing: Assist in creating, reviewing, and structured-labeling datasets from 2D technical drawings, PDFs, and purchase orders so the AI can learn to extract engineering data flawlessly.
DFM Rule Mapping & Testing
- Manufacturing Logic Mapping: Help document and map standardized manufacturing constraints across various processes (CNC machining, sheet metal, 3D printing) into discrete rules for software consumption.
- Continuous Testing: Conduct regression testing on software outputs, comparing AI-generated pricing and lead times against real-world manufacturing metrics to spot errors and improve performance.
Cross-Functional Coordination
- Day-to-Day Alignment: Work as a reliable technical point of contact across internal engineering, operations, and external partner development tracks to keep the integration milestones on schedule.
What You'll Bring to Xometry
Experience & Education
- Experience: 2-5+ years of hands-on experience in mechanical design, manufacturing engineering, or a closely related industrial environment.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical discipline is required.
Technical Skills
- CAD Proficiency: Solid working knowledge of enterprise CAD/PLM systems. Direct experience using Siemens NX and Teamcenter is a major plus.
- Manufacturing & GD&T Basics: Strong foundational understanding of standard manufacturing methods (particularly multi-axis CNC milling/turning and sheet metal fabrication) and a clear ability to interpret ASME Y14.5 GD&T prints.
- Software/Scripting Familiarity: Comfortable working in a tech-forward software environment. Basic proficiency in Python or a strong willingness to learn it for automated data analysis and geometric manipulation is highly desired.
Communication & Interpersonal Skills
- Collaboration: Strong capability to communicate technical engineering concepts clearly to non-mechanical peers, such as software developers and data scientists.
- Problem-Solving: High attention to detail, strong spatial reasoning, and an agile mindset comfortable with rapid experimentation and iterating.
