• Architect and implement robust and scalable software components in C++.
• Collaborate with other developers and domain experts in a fast-paced R&D environment.
• Take ownership of complex tasks, working independently or as part of a team.
• Participate in code reviews, testing, and performance optimization.
• Mentor junior engineers and share expertise in CAD and modeling technologies.

• Ph.D. in Computer Science, CAE, Computational Engineering, or a related field with 7+ years of experience, OR Master's degree with 10+ years of experience.
• Proven proficiency with the ACIS geometric modeling kernel.
• Knowledge of Parasolid is a strong plus.
• Strong expertise in C++ (modern standards) and software architecture.
• Solid understanding of CAD parametric systems and their implementation.
• Experience in CAD model healing, especially handling dirty CAD data.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and debugging skills.
