> Own the quality control layer for data annotation in construction, ensuring accuracy of BIM and CAD data for AI model training. Manage and mentor a team of annotators while performing hands-on AutoCAD labeling and collaborating with engineering teams to improve AI output accuracy.

## Job description

We are empowering people to go from concepts to construction within hours, enhancing collaboration in the world of atoms & pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, for humanity over the next few decades. For phase 1, we're training foundational AI models that create building code-compliant BIM models, cost analysis & documentation from 2D building blueprints. We are a small team of 32+ and looking for people passionate about 3D generation/reconstruction. We’re targeting $100B+ opportunity in construction’s design, estimation, and planning software—ripe for disruption by AI-first platforms. 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.

## The Role

We're hiring a Senior Data Engineer to own the quality control layer above our data annotation team. You'll sit at the intersection of data operations and AI model training — ensuring the accuracy and integrity of the structured data that powers Augrade's AI systems. This is a hands-on leadership role with direct impact on model performance.

## What You'll Do

- Own the file submission and QC process for annotated construction data (CAD, BIM, MEP)
- Review and validate outputs from junior annotators; enforce quality standards
- Perform AutoCAD annotation and data labeling as needed (hands-on, not just oversight)
- Collaborate with the CV/ML engineering team to close the gap between AI outputs (currently 80–90% accuracy) and production-ready data
- Manage and mentor a team of data annotators; drive process improvements
- Coordinate with engineering leads before any major workflow or tooling decisions

## What We're Looking For

Required

- 7-12 years of experience in data engineering, BIM/CAD data operations, or a related field
- Experience with Point Cloud Annotation and 3D data labeling
- Strong AutoCAD proficiency — this is the primary technical requirement
- MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) knowledge
- BIM and construction industry background
- Some leadership or project management experience — you've owned a process or team before

## Preferred

- Experience at companies like AECOM, Bentley Systems, Jacobs, or WSP
- Familiarity with AI/ML data pipelines and human-in-the-loop validation workflows
- Comfort working in a fast-paced, early-stage environment

## About Augrade Inc

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Augrade is an AI research lab building an agentic platform to automate pre-construction workflows—converting 2D blueprints into code-compliant 3D BIM models, cost estimates, and documentation in hours or days.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Pre-Seed round, July 2024)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States (with an office in Bangalore, India)
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Keshav Sharma (CEO) and Rajith Shetty (Co-Founder & SVP Software)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Construction technology (AI-powered pre‑construction automation)
- **Target customers**: B2B – architects, real estate developers, construction firms, and industrial project owners (data centers, factories, hospitals, schools, residential complexes)
- **Mission**: “Enable Humans to build infrastructure on Earth & Beyond. Augmenting human capabilities for next few generations & build a better future.” ([augrade.com](https://www.augrade.com/))

## Products & Services
- **[Dreamspace](https://www.augrade.com/)**: AI tool that converts PDFs and 2D blueprints into 3D BIM models, material take‑offs, Bill of Quantities (BOQs), and Construction Documents (CDs). Supports parametric editing and real‑time collaboration across 10+ design tools. Available as browser or desktop application.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available
- **Key Metric**: Pre‑Seed funding round closed July 2024 (amount undisclosed)

  - Active hiring across engineering, sales, and AI roles

## Competitive Advantages
- **AI‑powered parametric editing** – users can edit designs and see effects in real time, with multiple AI‑generated options.
- **2‑way cross‑compatibility** with all major design tools – changes made in any tool are reflected instantly in Dreamspace.
- **Speed of execution** – core value “Speed” emphasizes delivering groundbreaking solutions faster than competitors.
- **End‑to‑end automation** – from 2D blueprints to code‑compliant 3D BIM models, BOQs, and CDs in hours/days, reducing manual effort and project timelines.

## Strategic Focus
- Automate the entire pre‑construction workflow: design, estimation, and vendor management.
- Phase‑based vision: first phase reinvents design/engineering so anyone can design homes or products and 3D print/construct them.
- Target high‑growth verticals: data centers, factories, warehouses, hospitals, and residential complexes.
- Continue building an “AI architect + engineer” agentic platform.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Core values – Transparency, Empower People, Speed, Privacy & Security, Outside the box. Emphasis on open communication, accountability, and helping each other excel.
