What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a CAD Python Developer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a CAD Python Developer, you need strong programming skills in Python, familiarity with CAD software (like AutoCAD or SolidWorks), and a background in engineering or computer science. Experience with APIs, scripting automation, and industry certifications related to CAD systems are typically required. Analytical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication help you understand project requirements and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams. These skills are crucial for automating design processes, increasing workflow efficiency, and delivering high-quality engineering solutions.

How does a CAD Python developer typically collaborate with engineers and designers during a project?

As a CAD Python developer, you’ll frequently work alongside engineers and designers to automate and streamline design processes. You may be responsible for developing Python scripts that integrate with CAD software, creating custom tools, and automating repetitive tasks. Regular communication is key, as you’ll gather requirements from team members, provide technical solutions, and iterate based on their feedback. This collaborative environment not only enhances project efficiency but also exposes you to diverse technical challenges and multidisciplinary teamwork.

What is a CAD Python developer?

A CAD Python developer is a professional who uses the Python programming language to automate, customize, or extend computer-aided design (CAD) software. Their work often involves creating scripts or plugins to streamline design processes, automate repetitive tasks, or integrate CAD tools with other software systems. These developers typically have a background in engineering or design and are skilled in both CAD applications (like AutoCAD, FreeCAD, or SolidWorks) and Python programming. Their contributions help improve efficiency and enable more complex design work within CAD environments.

What is the difference between Cad Python vs AutoCAD Developer?

AspectCad PythonAutoCAD Developer
Required SkillsPython scripting, CAD software knowledge, automationAutoCAD proficiency, customization, scripting
CertificationsPython certifications, CAD software trainingAutoCAD certifications, CAD design courses
Work EnvironmentDesign firms, engineering, architectureArchitectural firms, engineering companies
Industry UsageAutomation, data extraction, customizationDrafting, drawing creation, project modification

Cad Python focuses on automating and customizing CAD workflows using Python scripting, often in engineering and architecture. AutoCAD Developer specializes in creating custom tools and plugins within AutoCAD, primarily for drafting and design tasks. While both roles require CAD knowledge, Cad Python emphasizes scripting and automation with Python, whereas AutoCAD Developer centers on developing AutoCAD-specific solutions.

Job description

Atomic Machines is ushering in a new era of micromanufacturing with its Matter Compiler technology platform. This platform enables new classes of micromachines to be designed and built by providing manufacturing processes and a materials library that are inaccessible to semiconductor manufacturing methods. It unlocks MEMS manufacturing not only for device classes that could never be produced by semiconductor methods, but also for entirely new categories. Furthermore, this digital platform is fully programmable in the way 3D printing is digital-but whereas 3D printing produces parts of a single material using a single process, the Matter Compiler technology platform is a multi-process, multi-material system: bits and raw materials go in, and complete, functional micromachines come out. The Atomic Machines team has also created an exciting first device-made possible only through the Matter Compiler technology platform-that we will be unveiling to the world soon.
 
Our offices are in Emeryville and Santa Clara, California.
About The Role:

As a CAD Automation Engineer, you will have the opportunity to lead, innovate, and shape our CAD/automation workflows by developing generative and programmatic CAD pipelines that transform design specifications into manufacturable micro-device assemblies. You'll collaborate closely with our AI, Modeling & Simulation, and Design teams to build systems that automatically explore, assemble, and optimize designs from a library of components. You will join a tight cross-functional team dedicated to pushing the limits of micro-manufacturing and computational design.

This position is onsite in our Emeryville, CA office, with openness to an occasional work-from-home arrangement when needed.

When referencing the compensation band below, please note that it may vary based on a candidate's experience and level. This role is not tied to a single level and may span earlier-in-career through senior-level candidates (L4-L6). Final leveling will be determined during the interview process. We are open to strong earlier-career candidates who are excited to grow into broader technical leadership or architectural responsibility over time.

What You'll Do:
  • Build CAD workflows that programmatically construct, modify, and evaluate 3D assemblies. This includes:
    • Manipulating and parametrizing CAD models to support iterative design and optimization.
    • Integrating with CAD APIs to move beyond GUI-based workflows, enabling high-throughput automated modeling and simulation.
    • Developing geometric intelligence - algorithms that infer how parts mate, fit, and interact to form functional assemblies.
  • Create and maintain a library of parametric components for generative design exploration.
  • Develop GenAI-driven workflows for CAD generation and automated design exploration.
What You'll Need:

Required

  • Deep expertise in CAD manipulation and parametrization, including scripting and automation (e.g., with Onshape API, SolidWorks API, Fusion API, or similar).
  • Strong background in programmatic CAD workflows.
  • Knowledge of AI-based CAD generation or generative design algorithms.
  • Deep understanding of CAD interoperability standards (STEP, IGES, JT, or similar).
  • Proficiency in interacting with CAD software via APIs (Python, C++, or other relevant languages).
  • Experience in parsing large sets of CAD models with product and manufacturing information to create batchable datasets for training.
  • Bachelor's or Master's or PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computational Design, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • For Staff level, 10+ years of industrial experience (post Bachelor's), or 8+ years of industrial experience (post Master's) or 5+ years of industrial experience (post PhD), with the option of relaxing these requirements for a Senior level position.

Nice to have

  • Experience with geometric modeling kernels (e.g., OpenCascade, Parasolid).
  • Experience in mastering NURBS and B-Rep.
  • Experience with meshing, especially for simulation or manufacturing purposes.
  • Experience with Model-Based Definitions.

Bonus Points For

  • Experience with implicit geometric representations.
  • Experience with simulation-in-the-loop design, shape optimization, or topology optimization workflows.
