Lead Software Engineer (Geometry)

What You'll Do

• Design, develop, and deliver advanced Geometry capabilities for CAE products, with focus on robustness, performance, scalability, and maintainability. • Lead feature-level technical work for geometry modeling, defeaturing, cleanup, healing, interoperability, topology handling, and CAE preprocessing workflows. • Participate in design reviews, feasibility analysis, risk assessment, debugging, performance optimization, and implementation planning. • Collaborate with product management, architecture, QA, program management, and engineering teams to translate customer workflow needs into well-defined technical solutions. • Mentor engineers on geometry algorithms, design patterns, code quality, testing strategy, and engineering best practices. • Investigate complex geometry defects, interoperability issues, performance bottlenecks, and customer-reported workflow problems, and drive timely resolution. • Contribute to technical plans and communicate design tradeoffs, delivery risks, and implementation status clearly to stakeholders.
• Required Qualifications Education • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Computational Geometry, Computer-Aided Design, Computer-Aided Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Experience • 10+ years of software engineering experience delivering commercial or enterprise engineering software, preferably in CAD, CAE, geometry, or simulation domains. • Strong expertise in computational geometry, topology, CAD modeling concepts, geometry kernels, B-rep data structures, geometry cleanup, healing, defeaturing, and interoperability workflows. • Strong background in C++ software development for large-scale engineering, scientific, CAD, CAE, or geometry-intensive applications. • Experience designing and implementing robust geometry algorithms and production-quality software components used in model preparation and CAE preprocessing workflows. • Working knowledge of CAE workflows including model preparation, meshing handoff, solver readiness, simulation preprocessing, and customer-driven usability requirements. • Experience with CAD/CAE products or geometry platforms such as MSC Apex, Patran, ANSA, CATIA, SolidWorks, NX, Parasolid, ACIS, Open Cascade, or equivalent technologies. • Ability to lead feature design and implementation decisions while balancing quality, performance, robustness, maintainability, and delivery commitments. • Familiarity with scripting, automation, build systems, debugging tools, profiling tools, and engineering productivity practices; Python experience is preferred. • Experience mentoring engineers, reviewing designs and code, and coordinating technical work within a project or feature team without direct people-management responsibility.
• Technical Skills • Strong proficiency in C++ for high-performance geometry, CAD, CAE, or scientific computing applications. • Strong understanding of computational geometry algorithms, including intersection, projection, trimming, tolerance handling, curve and surface evaluation, spatial search, and proximity calculations. • Hands-on experience with B-rep topology, geometry kernels, feature recognition, defeaturing, geometry cleanup, healing, and topology repair workflows. • Experience working with CAD data translation, interoperability, and neutral formats such as STEP, IGES, Parasolid, ACIS, or equivalent geometry representations. • Ability to design robust geometry APIs, reusable software components, and efficient data structures for complex engineering models. • Strong debugging and diagnostic skills for resolving geometric robustness issues, numerical precision problems, and customer workflow failures. • Experience improving geometry operations for performance, memory usage, scalability, and responsiveness in large assemblies and complex CAE models. • Familiarity with automated testing strategies for geometry algorithms, including regression tests, tolerance-based validation, stress cases, and customer model validation. • Working knowledge of Python or scripting tools for automation, diagnostics, workflow prototyping, and engineering productivity.
• Soft Skills • Strong communication and collaboration skills. • Problem-solving and analytical thinking. • Ability to work independently and in a team environment. • Strong organizational and time-management skills.N/A We’re doing work that matters.
