Software Engineer

Overview

Your Role At A Glance

As a Software Engineer on our CAD development team, you will play a key role in developing tools that import CAD data from multiple formats and in creating modeling and design capabilities for complex, high‑precision 3D parts. This highly interactive and visual area of our product combines software engineering with geometry, giving you the opportunity to see the immediate impact of your work. You’ll collaborate with a talented team, apply best practices in software development, and continuously innovate to deliver clean, efficient, and reliable solutions that elevate the user experience.

How You’ll Drive Success

Software Development

• Design, develop, and maintain CAD tools to ingest, model, and modify complex parts.
• Work with CAD kernels (Parasolid) and Toolkits to process geometrical and topological data.
• Implement software engineering best practices, including design patterns, source control, peer reviews, and unit testing.
• Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code in C++ and/or C#.
• Develop highly interactive and visual components of the product to enhance user experience.

Geometry & Modeling

• Apply linear algebra and computational geometry principles to improve CAD functionality.
• Work with solid modeling kernels such as Parasolid to support advanced modeling features.
• Optimize algorithms for geometry processing and part modification.

Collaboration & Communication

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather requirements and deliver solutions.
• Communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Participate in agile development practices such as Scrum or Kanban.

Continuous Improvement

• Stay current with emerging technologies and continuously improve software development skills.
• Contribute to code reviews and knowledge sharing within the team.
• Performs other duties as assigned.

The Talents We’re Seeking

Education

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or Engineering.

Required Skills

• 3–5 years of experience building commercial software in C++ required. Knowledge of C# a plus.
• Strong understanding of object-oriented development principles.
• Proficiency with standard software development practices such as source control, peer reviews, and unit testing.
• Solid knowledge of linear algebra, computational geometry and CAD data structures
• Experience working with solid modeling kernels (e.g., Parasolid).
• Hands-on experience with CAD file formats such as STEP, IGES, Parasolid (X_T/X_B), STL and Toolkits for Interoperability (Datakit, Hoops, Spatial Interop).
• Ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Skills

• Experience in an agile development environment (Scrum, Kanban).
• Familiarity with CNC machining processes.
• Knowledge of multi-threaded application development.
• Understanding of C++ design patterns and the C++ standard library.
• Experience with Visual Studio IDE.
• Background in computer graphics development.
