Company mission
To make tools for hardware designers as programmable as the rest of the internet.
Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate will have prior experience developing a large scale distributed ML system, and ideally has an understanding of hardware design and manufacturing related processes with knowledge of the relevant data required
- 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 the job involves
- We’re looking for a Machine Learning Software Engineer to help design and implement KittyCAD’s foundational machine learning systems to enable the next generation of hardware engineering
- In this role, you’ll apply cutting edge techniques in machine learning to support the end-to-end development of ML models and features that improve our users' experience
- Help design, develop, optimize, and debug a large scale distributed ML system and algorithms
- Improve upon existing ideas in generative AI and develop unique solutions to the problems we’re solving in hardware design
- 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
Our take
Despite the ongoing automation revolution, hardware design processes remain based upon slow, direct user interactions. KittyCAD hopes to change this, with its APIs for hardware designers to design, manufacture, and manage hardware projects.
KittyCAD delivers a fully integrated suite of hardware design products, encompassing workflow automation, a CAD (computer-aided design) platform, and app frameworks. Founded and incubated by Embedded Ventures, the company launched out of beta in 2022, and is to-date the only company building hardware design infrastructure for the internet.
As a member of the Khronos Group, the Nvidia Inception Program, and the Metaverse Standards Forum, it is clear that KittyCAD has its footing squarely in the industry. These connections will no doubt enable the company to collaborate with industry-leading experts and other AI-driven organizations in the future, which certainly makes it one to watch.
