About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Ingest, clean, transform, and structure customer and internally generated engineering data for AI training and inference
  • Design and build mechanical components and assemblies in CAD as authoritative ground truth for evaluating and training AI systems
  • Produce labeled datasets, reference designs, annotations, exploded views, sequences, and other engineering artifacts
  • Define and assess output quality across datasets and maintain standards for metadata, annotation, and model quality
  • Collaborate with Product Managers on annotation, data correction, model-output review, and pipeline automation tooling
  • Provide feedback on tool usability, workflow efficiency, and automation opportunities
  • Develop scalable, repeatable data processes that improve throughput and data consistency
  • Partner with engineering and research teams to understand model data requirements and failure modes
  • Supply representative engineering examples and ground-truth mechanical designs to influence model behavior
  • Translate domain requirements, industry standards, and customer data schemas into actionable dataset specifications
  • Serve as a subject matter expert on mechanical engineering formats, CAD standards, manufacturing practices, and design artifacts
  • Generate technical documentation, exploded views, sequences, and annotations encoding engineering reasoning into training data
  • Ensure datasets reflect real-world constraints, DFM considerations, material behavior, and industry best practices
  • Work with customers to understand data sources, schemas, formats, and quality expectations
  • Guide customers in preparing datasets, defining structured schemas, and improving data pipelines
  • Communicate progress clearly, surface risks early, and review external contractors for quality and SOP adherence

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • Strong domain expertise in mechanical engineering, manufacturing design, or industrial workflows
  • Hands-on experience with CAD tools such as SolidWorks, CATIA, Siemens NX, or Creo
  • Familiarity with annotation tools and illustration software (e.g., Creo Illustrate, Adobe Illustrator, Arbortext)
  • Ability to interpret complex mechanical assemblies, technical drawings, GD&T, and engineering documentation
  • Experience creating artifacts like exploded views, work-step sequences, repair manuals, or manufacturing instructions
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to translate domain workflows into structured data requirements
  • Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
  • Experience with data operations, labeling workflows, ML data pipelines, or AI/ML data lifecycle (preferred)
  • Experience in fast-paced startup or high-growth environments (preferred)
  • Comfort with customer-facing discovery or solutioning (preferred)
