About the role
We’re building humanoid home robots (NEO) and are hiring a CAD Modeler with strong surfacing to translate industrial design intent into robust, production-ready CAD geometry for a humanoid robot, balancing surface quality with manufacturability and product integration.
Responsibilities
- Translate industrial design intent into high-quality, robust CAD geometry for NEO, balancing surface quality, product integration, prototyping, and manufacturability.
- Develop high-quality surface geometry that accurately captures industrial design intent while accounting for mechanical, structural, packaging, and manufacturing requirements.
- Work across complex assemblies to resolve geometric and packaging challenges, integrating industrial design surfaces with structural and mechanical systems.
- Partner closely with Industrial Design and Mechanical Engineering to quickly iterate on geometry and solve challenging product integration problems.
- Support the development of prototypes, mockups, and production-intent assemblies to evaluate surface quality, fit, function, durability, and user interaction.
- Develop robust CAD geometry that can progress from early concepts through prototyping and into manufacturing.
- Develop and improve modeling, automation, and computational workflows that accelerate design iteration and improve the quality and consistency of CAD data.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in CAD modeling, digital surfacing, Class-A surfacing, digital sculpting, or a related field.
- Demonstrated experience developing complex surface geometry for physical products.
- Strong proficiency in professional CAD and surfacing tools such as Autodesk Alias, Rhino, CATIA, NX, or similar.
- Strong understanding of surface continuity, curvature, transitions, and surface quality.
- Experience translating industrial design intent into robust, manufacturable CAD geometry.
