Responsibilities
Investigate how LLMs can interface with CAD geometry kernels (e.g., OpenCascade) to generate valid BREP and parametric 3D models
Develop tool-augmented reasoning pipelines that enable LLMs to call geometry APIs, validate shapes, and repair or refine generated models
Explore retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) using prior CAD models, part libraries, or design templates
Implement iterative refinement and adaptive test-time compute methods to enforce geometric, functional, or manufacturing constraints
Evaluate generative outputs across metrics such as accuracy, validity, manufacturability, and similarity to relevant design priors
Prototype end-to-end workflows for turning natural-language descriptions into CAD/BREP objects using LLMs + external tools
Document research findings and develop actionable recommendations for integrating LLM-generated CAD designs into downstream engineering workflows
Qualification
Required
Currently pursuing a Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Computational Geometry, or a related field
Strong understanding of deep learning and/or LLMs, with experience in model prompting, fine-tuning, or tool augmentation
Experience with Python, and familiarity with geometry processing, CAD APIs, or libraries such as OpenCascade, or similar
Knowledge of RAG, multi-step reasoning, or program-synthesis-style workflows is a strong asset
Strong problem-solving skills and interest in applying generative AI to real CAD/engineering settings
Preferred
Ability to work with structured geometric data formats (e.g., BREP, STEP, parametric constraints)
Benefits
All internships are paid.
Contribute to meaningful projects, be mentored by industry leaders, and participate in tech talks and other activities designed to support your personal and professional development.
Align with Autodesk’s Flexible Workplace approach, which is designed to meet the needs of our business while providing flexibility in support of office, remote and hybrid work preferences.
