We9re looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to train custom models using our internal data. This work spans design generation, cost estimation, evaluating the complexity and difficulty of a given design, and extracting structured data out of existing documentation. We9re looking for someone who has trained custom models on large, parameter-rich datasets, ideally with a geometric or spatial component, and who is energized by problems in that space specifically.
What You9ll Do- Train and iterate on custom ML models using Layup9s internal manufacturing and design data
- Build models that estimate cost and predict design complexity or manufacturing difficulty from part geometry
- Develop models that generate or assist in generating new designs based on historical design data
- Build pipelines to extract structured data (specs, dimensions, material callouts, etc.) from existing engineering documents and drawings
- Evaluate and select modeling approaches suited to geometric, spatial, and other structured data, rather than text-based problems
- Work closely with engineering and manufacturing teams to source, clean, and label internal datasets
- Own model performance end-to-end, from data pipeline through training, evaluation, and deployment into internal tools
- Continuously identify new opportunities where custom models could improve design, estimation, or manufacturing workflows
What We9re Looking For- Experience training custom models beyond basic labeling or fine-tuning workflows
- Experience with advanced object detection at minimum; data classification experience is a strong plus
- Experience with geometry-based modeling is highly preferred
- Experience working with large, parameter-rich datasets
- Strongest fit is someone whose background is in structured, spatial, or geometric data problems rather than natural language or LLM-centric work
Bonus Points- Experience training geometry-specific models
- CAD experience
- Manufacturing experience
$120,000 - $185,000 a year
Final compensation is based on your experience, skills, and what you bring to the table.
- Full Benefits Package: Medical, dental, and vision coverage, short- and long-term disability insurance, company-paid life insurance
- Equity Option Grants
- 401k plan
- Paid Time Off: Unlimited PTO + 9 Federal Holidays
