##About the Role
In this role, the Geometry AI/ML Co‑op will support foundational research into applying AI, Machine Learning, and GenAI techniques to geometric data and CAD environments. The student will work closely with the AI & SW Technologies team to review state‑of‑the‑art research publications, evaluate open‑source code implementations, and prepare high‑quality test datasets using both public and internal CAD sources. They will also explore data extraction workflows from CATIA to enable downstream ML experimentation. This co‑op position offers hands‑on experience at the intersection of engineering design, computational geometry, and applied AI within a fast‑paced R&D environment.
##Your Responsibilities
- Analyze relevant AI/ML research publications related to geometric processing and CAD.
- Evaluate open‑source code repositories to identify approaches applicable to R&D needs.
- Prepare and structure test datasets using public and internal CAD models.
- Extract geometric data and metadata from CATIA to support AI/ML model development.
- Document findings through clear technical reports and summaries.
- Support team discussions by presenting insights from research and experiments.
##Who we are looking for
- Foundational skills in Python and experience with AI/ML or GenAI tooling.
- Interest in or basic understanding of geometry processing, computational design, or related ML topics.
- Engineering background or ongoing studies in a related field.
- Familiarity with CAD tools (e.g., CATIA).
- Analytical and detail‑oriented mindset, especially for research evaluation and dataset preparation.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively within an R&D environment.
##Your preferred qualifications
- Experience with AI/ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).
- Exposure to computational geometry, 3D data processing, or CAD‑linked workflows.
- Familiarity with CATIA automation, APIs, or data extraction processes.
- Interest in research analysis, benchmarking, and experimental evaluation.
Work Environment
- Standard office environment and Robotics/Cobot Lab.
##Compensation
- The hourly rate for this position ranges from $24.50 - $28.50.
##Additional Information
- Accommodations for disabilities in relation to the job selection process are available upon request.
