About the role
Adam Residency
This 10-16 week, full time program, based in our San Francisco office, offers recent graduates and early career professionals a chance to gain meaningful experience at a fast growing AI startup.
Residents at Adam have the same autonomy as full time engineers and researchers. You’ll have significant ownership and responsibility from day one, with your impact limited only by your initiative and ambition.
We’re a small, collaborative team that values curiosity, multidisciplinary thinking and shipping high quality products quickly.
Who You Are
You enjoy building great technology alongside passionate teammates. You thrive when given ownership, responsibility and open-ended problems. You’re excited by the idea of having practically endless compute to experiment.
Some Potential Projects:
• Sprinting to build new agentic CAD features requested by our customers
• Developing novel UI components to interface with CAD through an agent
• Building gyms and training models with RL for specific CAD skills
• Optimizing model hosting/inference for more robust generations

About Adam
Adam is an applied research and product lab building the future of computer-aided design, where engineers will be able to speak physical objects into existence. With Adam, you’ll use AI to complete design tasks end-to-end. For example, select a face and say, “Add mounting holes matching the bolt pattern from the other part, with identical diameters, spacing, and offsets,” and Adam handles the geometry, selects standard hardware, and outputs production-ready CAD.
We just wrapped up YC’s W25 batch, built a state-of-the-art text-to-CAD interface, and had one of the most viral YC launches of all time.
Our first product made CAD approachable and fun with AI, bringing tens of thousands of people into 3D printing. Now we’re enhancing the capabilities of engineers to create feature-rich models compatible with industry-standard software.
We’re a small technical team of engineers, designers, and researchers who love CAD and building things. Our founders are UC Berkeley alumni, second-time founders, and early employees at major AI startups.
We’re in-person at the Adam House in the SF Marina, powered by green tea, lots of natural light, and a wall of 3D printers.
If you’re excited about shipping fast and shaping the future of how things are made, come join us.
