Mechanical Engineer - Member of Training Staff

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.

Were 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 Youll 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 Were Looking For:

• 35 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 (Masters/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 mail at with:

• 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).
