Introducing CDFAM Careers
A dedicated platform for finding and sharing open roles in computational design and AI/MACHINE Learning in engineering and Architecture
For the past few years, Bits to Atoms has shared a monthly roundup of open roles in computational design, engineering, and architecture via a substack newsletter.
As requests for more visibility and promotion options have grown, we’ve moved these listings to a permanent home on the CDFAM site.
The new CDFAM Careers page offers better visibility, searchability, and structure, making it easier to connect outstanding talent with opportunities in this highly specialized and rapidly evolving field.
The Types of Roles You’ll Find
Computational design spans multiple disciplines, and the roles reflect that breadth:
- Academic & Research – Positions in universities and institutes exploring new methods, materials, and design paradigms.
- Software Development – Roles building the algorithms, platforms, and tools enabling computational and AI workflows.
- Applied Engineering – Opportunities in aerospace, automotive, footwear, medical devices, and other industries where computation drives innovation.
- Architecture & Built Environment – Positions applying computational approaches, AI, and ML to buildings, infrastructure, and urban systems.
As demand increases for expertise in optimization, simulation, generative workflows, and AI/ML, these roles increasingly cross traditional boundaries.
For Job Seekers
The CDFAM Careers Board provides a focused space for roles in computational design and advanced engineering, positions that can be difficult to find amongst the noise of general job boards.
- Quickly identify relevant opportunities across research, software development, industry, and architecture.
- Avoid unrelated postings and discover organizations actively seeking expertise in computational design and AI/ML.
- Access both free and promoted roles, giving a clearer view of the breadth of opportunities in your immediate area of expertise, and discover some in adjacent fields you might not have been aware of.
For Employers
Posting a role on the CDFAM Careers Board ensures it reaches professionals already deeply engaged in the cutting edge of computation and design. Not just people trawling Linkedin, applying for anything that might vaguely be of interest.
The CDFAM community includes a unique demographic of engineers, architects, academics, and developers from leading organizations and institutions worldwide.
Their expertise spans computational design, simulation, optimization, additive manufacturing, AI/ML for engineering, generative workflows, and advanced software development. This breadth of skills is reflected across industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical devices, footwear, software, and the built environment.
Benefits include:
- Targeted audience – Specialists in computational design, simulation, optimization, and AI/ML.
- Global reach – A subscriber base of over 15,000 professionals across North America, Europe, and Asia.
- Relevant context – Listings appear alongside research, case studies, and the world’s leading computational design and engineering event.
Free and Promoted Options
- Free Listings – Open to all organizations and vetted for relevance to the field.
- Features Listings – For roles needing additional visibility, with featured placement and inclusion in CDFAM newsletters.
