Member of Training Staff - Mechanical Engineer

About the Role

General Agents is an applied research lab working on autonomous intelligence. Our focus is at the intersection of AI, CAD/CAE, and product development workflows.

We’re looking for experienced CAD designers, simulation engineers, and mechanical/industrial design engineers (3-5 years of experience) to help build our core datasets, design evaluation frameworks, and provide domain expertise for AI training.

What You’ll Do

• Design and modify CAD files and assemblies from scratch for training and evaluation.
• Review CAD models, design sketches, and constraint systems.
• Define key use cases for AI in CAD/CAE/PLM environments.
• Design evaluation tasks: geometry validation, simulation accuracy, manufacturability checks.
• Work with AI researchers to translate engineering workflows into training objectives.
• Contribute to AI systems that can reason through design steps: sketches → CAD models → simulation → manufacturability.
  

What We’re Looking For

• 3–5 years of professional experience in CAD, product design, or simulation.
• Strong background in one or more of:

• CAD/CAE tools:

  SolidWorks, Fusion 360, PTC Creo, Siemens NX, CATIA

• Surfacing/Industrial design:

  Rhino 3D, Alias

• Simulation:

  Ansys, Abaqus, COMSOL, MSC Nastran (structural, thermal, fluid, etc.)

• Visualization/Rendering:

  Blender, KeyShot, V-Ray
• Experience with PLM, parametric/generative design, or design automation is a plus.
• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design, or related fields (Master’s/PhD preferred).
• Ability to communicate engineering concepts clearly and turn them into practical workflows.
  

Why Join Us

• Shape next-gen AI tools for engineering and design.
• Work alongside experts in AI, CAD/CAE, and product development.
• Take ownership in a fast-moving research environment.
  

How to Apply

Send us:

• A cover letter highlighting your CAD/simulation expertise.
• A portfolio (2-3 projects: CAD assemblies, simulations, or design work).

Your resume (LinkedIn/portfolio links encouraged).
