Draftaid
Go from 3D models to CAD drawings using AI
What Draftaid does
DraftAid is the world's first generative AI for CAD manufacturing drawings, akin to GitHub Copilot but for CAD. It drastically shortens drawing creation time, turning hours into seconds. Every product that is manufactured - from construction to aerospace, automotive, durable goods, and electronics—relies on drawings. Currently, engineers and designers painstakingly make these essential drawings manually. Draftaid streamlines this process saving teams millions in time and quality. The idea was born out of Abdullah's experience as a mechanical design team member, where he created thousands of drawings and longed for a more efficient process. Partnering with Tahsin, a neighbour with a PhD in AI, and Mohammed, a seasoned engineering VP with experience in construction software, they turned the dream into reality. Since their launch in August, DraftAid has engaged customers through targeted outreach and word-of-mouth, securing paid pilots with subsequent contracts valued at $150,000. Be a part of ushering in the new era of CAD designs!
3 open roles
What the role involves
Draftaid is building the intelligence layer for mechanical engineering. We auto-generate manufacturing drawings from 3D CAD models, and every product decision we make from here depends on deeply understanding how engineers actually work. We are looking for someone who breathes engineering workflows and is eager to talk to customers every day. What you'll do Be the technical face of our product in front our existing users Ensure our AI meets customer drafting standards Translate what you see in customer sessions into product insight for engineering and sales Educate the team on drafting conventions across industries Own the bridge between what customers expect and what the product delivers Find creative and simple solutions to user problems What we're looking for The ability to walk into any machine shop or engineering office and speak the language Enjoy being customer-facing and internally vocal in equal measure Hands-on experience as a design engineer across one of these industries: automotive, machine design, automation, robotics, or similar A deep understanding of manufacturing drawings and DFM principles Experience configuring CAD environments Nice to have Fluency in multiple CAD platforms and PDM systems Experience writing macros in VBA, iLogic, or SolidWorks API Familiarity with PLM or PDM administration and configuration Familiar with estimation and manufacturing process planning Working experience with GD&T What we offer Flexible hours and hybrid in-office Competitive salary and equity package Small team, high ownership
What the role involves
Draftaid started by auto-generating manufacturing drawings from 3D CAD parts. We are now building the intelligence layer for mechanical engineering.
