<div class="content-intro"><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Xometry (NASDAQ: XMTR) powers the industries of today and tomorrow by connecting the people with big ideas to the manufacturers who can bring them to life. Xometry’s digital marketplace gives manufacturers the critical resources they need to grow their business while also making it easy for buyers at Fortune 1000 companies to tap into global manufacturing capacity.</span></p></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> <div> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Xometry is seeking a talented Mechanical Engineer to join our Generative AI and Geometric Integration team. In this role, you will apply your foundational knowledge of mechanical design, manufacturing processes, and 3D CAD data to support high-stakes strategic initiatives—specifically DFM AI + IQE integration.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Working closely with our Data Science and Product teams, you will act as a hands-on domain expert to translate physical manufacturing constraints, 2D technical drawings, and 3D geometry into structured inputs that train and improve Xometry’s proprietary AI engine. This position bridges the gap between traditional mechanical engineering and modern software automation, helping build a real-time digital thread directly inside our partner’s ecosystem (NX, Designcenter, and Teamcenter).</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">This role requires a hybrid schedule (3 days a week) at our Waltham, MA or North Bethesda, MD office location.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>How You'll Contribute</strong></span></h2> <h3><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>1.
