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
Integration with AI and Platform Systems
