AI CAD-to-CNC Intern: Build Machining Plans

KinetiCAD Solutions; Berkeley (CA); On-site; USD 85,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

KinetiCAD Solutions is seeking a junior engineer to work on the engine that reads CAD models and drawings and turns them into machining plans. You’ll contribute to building reliable production code in a small team.

You will identify machining features in 3D CAD data, help run accuracy checks, write tests, and decide when a plain deterministic approach is best. Berkeley-based, hands-on learning guaranteed.

Qualifications

• Strong Python and production code experience.
• Fundamentals of machine learning and hands-on PyTorch experience.
• Currently studying or recently graduated in CS/engineering/Physics/Maths.
• Curiosity about how physical parts are manufactured.

Responsibilities

• Improve the engine to read drawings with dimensions, tolerances, finishes, and notes.
• Identify machining features in 3D CAD models and translate them into operations.
• Build evaluation sets and run accuracy checks to measure changes.
• Collaborate with local language models and choose when deterministic algorithms suffice.
• Write tests, review profiles, and optimize slow parts.
