Backflip AI

Backflip AI lets engineers and designers turn physical scans and concepts into production-ready 3D models quickly. The company uses AI-powered Scan-to-CAD and Idea-to-Mesh tools to convert 3D scan data into parametric CAD models and generate mesh assets from sketches, images, or text prompts. It integrates with manufacturing and CAD ecosystems such as Onshape and exports common formats (STEP, STL, OBJ, GLB, PLY), and is delivered as a subscription B2B SaaS with plugins and web apps. Founded by creators from Markforged, Backflip AI targets mechanical CAD workflows, 3D printing, and digital asset creation to reduce manual CAD work and accelerate product development.

About Backflip Backflip (backflip.ai) is a generative AI startup revolutionizing how engineers and designers create for the physical world. Founded by the team behind Markforged, we’re building AI-first tools that make 3D CAD as intuitive and fast as sketching on paper. Backed by a16z and NEA , we’ve raised a $30M Series A and built a deeply technical, mission-driven team of 15. Our goal is to empower one engineer to work at the speed of a hundred.

We are looking for a to train and deploy frontier multimodal models for 3D CAD. In this role, you will work alongside ML researchers end to end on challenges like developing novel representations for complex 3D data, training models that generate structured design outputs, building scalable data pipelines, and delivering low-latency inference in production.

Teeming tracks opportunities at over 24,000 AI startups, then works with you to find (and land) the one you'll love.
