Founding AI Engineer, Scan-to-BIM
Augrade Inc, San Francisco
About the job
Augrade is an AI Native platform Accelerating construction workflows to help Owners, Real estate developers & GCs, predict project risk, prevent delays & protect their margins across every stage of the project, from concept to completion & beyond.
We’ve been around for 3 yrs but started active projects in the last 11 months, have since then completed 120+ projects worth $5.8B across 5 countries with a small highly technical team of 32 people. We have 2 main offices in SF & Blr with 2 more opening soon in Dubai & Saudi Arabia.
If you're interested in joining an early stage AI startup building foundational models, geometric and physics engines from scratch to transform how the world designs and builds infrastructure, with real autonomy and the resources to solve hard problems, apply or reach out to us today.
About the role
Augrade is building an AI-native Digital construction platform to automate how the physical world is modeled, estimated, and constructed. We are moving beyond manual & tedious workflows towards fully automated building generation from raw 2D or spatial data using AI. As a Founding AI Engineer for Scan-to-BIM on our core AI/3D team, you will own the problem end-to-end: from raw 3D data to semantically rich building models. This is not a BIM modeling role. It is a systems and algorithms role focused on building the pipelines that make BIM modeling obsolete. You have built real systems on 3D spatial data — point clouds, meshes, or volumetric representations — and you understand the gap between academic reconstruction benchmarks and messy, production-scale building scans. You have debugged geometry pipelines, wrestled with coordinate systems and registration drift, and shipped something that ran on data you did not control.
