Job description

CAD Automation Engineer
Department: IT
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Remote- USA
Description
Trilon is building a supercharged, technology-enabled future for our people and partners. The CAD Automation Engineer plays a critical role in that mission by building the software that connects Trilon's AI platform to the CAD and BIM tools used to produce engineering deliverables.
This is a software engineering role focused on automating design production workflows. You develop the automation layer that enables AI-powered tools to interact directly with platforms such as Civil3D, Revit, OpenRoads, and others. Your work reduces manual effort in drawing production, annotation, and data extraction, giving engineers meaningful time back on every project.
You are responsible for writing production-quality code that drives CAD and BIM platforms through their APIs and SDKs. You build capabilities that extract structured data from design files, inject AI-generated outputs into templates, and automate repetitive tasks that are currently performed manually.
You work closely with the Lead Engineer, Applied AI Engineers, and the Principal Solutions Architect to ensure your solutions integrate cleanly into the broader platform. You also engage with field teams and Solution Analysts to understand real workflows and identify the highest-value opportunities for automation.
This role requires strong software engineering fundamentals, deep experience with CAD and BIM APIs, and a practical understanding of how engineering deliverables are created. You are focused on building reliable automation that works in real project environments and scales across the organization.
Key Responsibilities
CAD and BIM Automation Development
  • Design and build automation solutions for CAD and BIM platforms such as Civil3D, Revit, and OpenRoads
  • Develop code that drives design tools through their APIs and SDKs to automate production workflows
  • Automate repetitive tasks such as annotation, labeling, data entry, and drawing generation
  • Ensure automation outputs align with engineering standards and deliverable requirements

Integration with AI and Platform Systems
  • Build integrations between CAD platforms and Trilon's AI tools and services
  • Enable extraction of structured data from design files for use in AI workflows
  • Inject AI-generated outputs into CAD templates and production environments
  • Ensure seamless interoperability between CAD systems and the broader data platform

Workflow Discovery and Validation
  • Partner with Applied AI Engineers and Solutions Analysts to understand real-world engineering workflows
  • Participate in project hackathons and field engagements to identify automation opportunities
  • Translate field insights into practical, buildable automation solutions
  • Validate that automation delivers measurable efficiency improvements

Code Quality and Reliability
  • Write clean, maintainable, and production-ready code
  • Implement testing and validation approaches for automation workflows
  • Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to CAD integrations and automation logic
  • Ensure solutions are stable, scalable, and performant in production environments

Architecture and Collaboration
  • Work with the Lead Engineer and Principal Solutions Architect to align on system design and integration patterns
  • Collaborate with platform and data engineering teams to ensure consistent data handling
  • Contribute to reusable components and automation frameworks across the platform
  • Document solutions, patterns, and integration approaches

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
  • 4+ years of experience in software engineering or automation development
  • Strong programming skills in Python and or C#
  • Hands-on experience developing against CAD or BIM APIs such as AutoCAD or Civil3D .NET API, Revit API, or OpenRoads Designer SDK
  • Experience building automation tools for engineering design or production workflows
  • Strong understanding of how to interact with desktop-based engineering software programmatically
  • Experience integrating software systems through APIs and data pipelines
  • Ability to translate real-world workflows into scalable automation solutions
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
  • Experience working with structured and unstructured data
  • Familiarity with cloud-based systems and integration patterns is a plus
  • Understanding of AEC workflows, drawing organization, and design production processes is a strong advantage
  • Experience collaborating with engineers, product teams, and field users
  • Ability to operate in a fast-paced environment with evolving requirements
  • Strong communication skills and ability to explain technical concepts clearly
