Join our team as an AI & CAD Engineering Applications Expert, a senior-level role within the engineering solutions division, where you will lead the development of AI-driven automation in CAD workflows. Your day-to-day responsibilities include architecting and implementing intelligent CAD systems using machine learning and generative AI to enhance traditional rule-based scripting across various stages of the engineering lifecycle. You will develop custom applications with NX Open/Creo APIs and integrate CAD systems with PDM/PLM platforms, ensuring robust automation solutions for modeling, assemblies, drawings, and validation workflows. Essential skills include expertise in mechanical/electrical engineering, proficiency in AI/ML concepts, and hands-on experience with MCAD systems like NX or Creo. This role requires a deep understanding of geometry, numerical methods, and engineering physics, alongside practical knowledge of data pipelines, SQL, REST APIs, and cloud platforms. Ideal candidates will have experience deploying AI models in production CAD environments and working in complex industrial settings such as semiconductor manufacturing.
