Experience with computational geometry, 3D data structures, or mesh processing
Familiarity with additive manufacturing toolchains or CNC-style toolpath generation
Ability to work in a cross-functional RD environment with hardware and process teams
Comfortable building production-grade software in a fast-paced, iterative setting
Experience with continuous integration (CI) pipelines, static code analysis, and unit testing

Preferred Qualifications:
Experience with industry standard or related geometry engines/libraries
Familiarity with motion control systems, G-code generation, or machine integration protocols
Background in data pipelines or job tracking for manufacturing operations
Prior work on metal additive manufacturing or CNC-based systems

Education and Experience:
Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical field required
5+ years of experience in software development, with at least 12 years in a manufacturing, robotics, or 3D graphics setting
Open-source contributions to slicing software or experience building AM/CAM toolchains is a plus

Physical Requirements and Work Environment:
Primarily office/lab-based with some machine interaction
Must be able to occasionally inspect physical parts or collaborate with operators near equipment
