Principal AI Engineer

Company Description Metadome.ai builds frontier AI models that transform text, drawings, and CAD into production-ready, interactive 3D experiences. The company advances a full generative pipeline—text-to-CAD, 2D-to-3D reconstruction, CAD completion and harmonization, and real-time interactive rendering—engineered for the precision required in the physical world. Its technology currently powers the modernization of OEM aftersales for more than 30 automotive and heavy-equipment manufacturers worldwide, delivering accurate, scalable, and fast 3D solutions. Metadome.ai’s platform enables shoppable 3D parts, step-by-step repair animations, and a headless API that feeds consistent 3D assets into commerce, dealer, training, and service systems. The broader mission is to allow anyone to move from an idea, drawing, or specification to a production-grade 3D model and beyond in seconds.

Role Description As a Principal AI Engineer — Generative CAD & 3D, you will lead the design, development, and deployment of advanced AI models that convert text, 2D drawings, and CAD files into engineering-grade 3D content. You will architect end-to-end generative pipelines, including text-to-CAD, 2D-to-3D reconstruction, CAD completion, and real-time rendering, collaborating closely with product, design, and engineering teams to ship robust production systems. Day-to-day, you will experiment with novel neural network architectures, optimize model performance on large-scale CAD datasets, write high-quality production code, and guide the integration of AI services into customer-facing platforms. You will mentor other engineers, establish best practices for AI development, and contribute to technical strategy and roadmap. This is a full-time, hybrid role based in Bengaluru, with a mix of on-site collaboration and work-from-home flexibility.
