Artificial Intelligence (AI) Specialist / Engineer

3D Tact Ltd is developing PrintabilityAI, an innovative AI platform focused on additive manufacturing, engineering design, and digital assurance. We are seeking an AI Engineer to contribute to building and commercializing three core capabilities: AI-assisted 3D design and creative modeling, additive manufacturing process intelligence, and automation of assurance and certification. This role emphasizes developing practical AI systems with real-world applications rather than purely experimental research.

Key Responsibilities

- Develop machine learning and generative AI models tailored for additive manufacturing applications.
- Create AI workflows for converting text and images to 3D models, CAD generation, geometry processing, and design optimization.
- Build predictive models addressing material selection, process parameters, manufacturability, printability, and part quality.
- Develop large language model (LLM) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems capable of handling engineering standards, technical documentation, qualification requirements, and certification evidence.
- Implement computer vision techniques and analyze engineering data to support manufacturing processes.
- Integrate AI models with APIs, databases, CAD tools, manufacturing systems, and web applications.
- Rapidly prototype solutions and transition successful concepts into production-ready software.
- Collaborate closely with manufacturing, engineering, and commercial teams to translate customer challenges into scalable AI products.

Required Qualifications

- Degree in AI, Computer Science, Data Science, Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field.
- Strong proficiency in Python programming.
- Practical experience with machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or scikit-learn.
- Hands-on experience in machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, generative AI, or LLM-based systems.
- Familiarity with APIs, Git, and modern software development methodologies.
- Ability to independently investigate technical problems and develop functional prototypes.

Preferred Qualifications and Benefits

- Experience with 3D generative AI, CAD automation, mesh processing, point clouds, or geometry processing.
- Knowledge of additive manufacturing, design for additive manufacturing (DfAM), materials science, or manufacturing process optimization.
- Expertise in LLMs, RAG, embeddings, vector databases, and technical knowledge management systems.
- Understanding of engineering standards, quality assurance, qualification, or certification processes.
- Experience with cloud deployment, Docker, databases, and production machine learning pipelines.

What We Offer

- The opportunity to work directly on commercial AI products at the intersection of artificial intelligence, additive manufacturing, and advanced engineering.
- Significant technical ownership with direct involvement in product architecture and development decisions.
- Engagement in industrial collaborations, funded innovation projects, and emerging manufacturing technologies.
- Clear scope for career progression as the PrintabilityAI platform and 3D Tact expand.

Hiring Process

- Initial application review.
- Short technical discussion focusing on previous AI projects and relevant experience.
- Practical technical assessment or review of an existing portfolio, GitHub project, or comparable work.
- Final discussion covering role fit, responsibilities, and employment terms.
