The Role

Our client is looking for a Lead AI Engineer to spearhead the development of our state-of-the-art foundation model for manufacturing and CAD .

This is a leadership role at the intersection of AI, technical architecture, and company vision : a chance to shape not only our models, but the direction of AI in the physical world.

What Youll Do

  • Architect and lead the development of a next-generation foundation model that integrates text, geometry, and design intelligence.
  • Build and code : set the standard for technical excellence in ML engineering and model development.
  • Define and own the technical roadmap for Backflips core model, including architecture, data, training, and evaluation strategy.
  • Shape AI strategy in close collaboration with Backflips leadership team, ensuring the technical direction is in harmony with product and customer goals.
  • Drive execution : set ambitious objectives, define milestones, and uphold a high technical bar across the team.
  • Mentor and develop engineers across AI and software, fostering growth, creativity, and technical mastery.
  • Collaborate deeply with customers, product, and the sales team to ground model design in real-world feedback and deliver impactful AI-powered tools.
  • Ship real products . Youve done it before, and youll do it again - taking models from research to production systems used by real people in the physical world.

Who You Are

  • Youve led and shipped at least one (ideally multiple) ML products or large models into real-world production .
  • You have deep experience building large-scale multimodal or generative models (text, 3D, or visual), and are fluent in PyTorch, distributed training, and modern ML infrastructure.
  • Youre comfortable thinking across architecture, data, and evaluation , and thrive in the ambiguity of solving hard problems end-to-end.
  • Youve led teams or initiatives that influenced company direction, product definition, or customer experience.
  • You bring strong communication and leadership skills , with a clear sense of how technical vision connects to product and customer value.
  • You care deeply about building tools that expand human capability , not just optimizing benchmarks.
  • Youre inspired by the opportunity to redefine how AI reshapes manufacturing and design in the real world.

    • What Were Looking For

  • 5-7+ years in deep learning / generative AI with a record of shipping complex systems.
  • Expert in multimodal and generative models (transformers, diffusion, autoregressive); strong Python + PyTorch .
  • Evidence of technical leadership as an IC : youve set standards, led cross-functional efforts, and made architectural decisions that lasted.
  • Fluency from research to production : data strategy, training, tooling, serving, and performance engineering.

    • Bonus

    Experience with CAD , 3D geometry, graphics, differentiable programming, or AI for the physical world.
