April Bits to Atoms Job Board
AI Roles Appear Alongside Computational Design and Advanced Manufacturing
As we all start to consider how AI and ML will inevitably touch on, and change the way we design and make things, we are seeing more roles advertised specifically focused on these domains in the April Job Board (though none from SUPLAI.AI, apologies to anyone who fell for the April 1st Speculative Launch).
Interesting examples include internships and working student positions at leading European firms like BOSCH in Stuttgart, BMW, and SIEMENS in Munich, aimed at developing generative AI solutions in engineering and the industrial metaverse. Airbus is seeking a working student in Product Engineering Generative AI, while Rivian USA and Ford USA seeks a Research Engineer in Deep Learning and Generative Design.
Autodesk in Boston are looking for Product Managers in Generative AI and Software Developers in Data Pipelines for Generative AI, while Altair, Dassault, Coreform and nTop require Geometry Software Engineers and Development Engineers, highlighting the importance of computational tools in shaping the future of the industry.
It is super exciting to see the industry prepare for the future, but it also hi-lights the critical need for educational programs to align with industry developments. Preparing students (and current engineers) with computational and generative design skills from the start of their education is critical for their success in these evolving fields.
This is part of the focus of the CDFAM Computational Design Symposium Series, to spread awareness about the tools as they become available, and the mindset required to apply them.
Roles within research institutions and universities underscore a significant emphasis on advancing the fields of additive manufacturing, computational design, and generative AI through academia. Positions such as the Professur für Generative Design und Creative AI at Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences in Munich, and the Adjunct Faculty for Generative Systems for Design Course at Carnegie Mellon University, reflect a dual focus on developing the next wave of technology and methodologies, as well as educating future professionals in these cutting-edge disciplines.
Beyond AI-specific opportunities, there's a broad spectrum of positions in computational design, additive manufacturing, and engineering, from Lilium in Munich searching for a Design Engineer, Walter P Moore in NYC and Utopia Design in Lviv has an opening for a Computational Architectural Designer.
From footwear with companies like Lululemon and On, to continuing expansion in aerospace with GE, General Atomics, Ursa Major, VAST, The Exploration Company and Divergent, the market for applications of additive and advanced manufacturing is not slowing down.
See the full list of roles and check in as they are updated until the end of the month.
