Founding Research Engineer
Adam · San Francisco, CA, US
Job Description
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.
As part of the founding research team, you may:
- 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
We are looking for people who:
- 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
At Adam, you will be given the autonomy to do some of the best work of your life and redefine how the physical world is built.
