3D CAD Engineer

Overview

Join our 3D GeoShape CAD team to help build next-generation, cloud-based CAD applications for the global PLM market. You will contribute to the development of intelligent modeling, surfacing, assembly, and direct-editing capabilities, working with modern web technologies and large-scale industrial workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement advanced 3D modelling and assembly algorithms for large-scale geometry handling, visualisation, and analysis.
• Develop core features for parametric, direct‑edit, and Class A surfacing workflows, supporting automation, rule‑based modelling, and intuitive user experiences.
• Create efficient data structures and algorithms to optimise loading, interference checking, pathfinding, and dynamic simulation.
• Contribute to PLM‑integrated workflows, including versioning, configuration management, BOM management, and collaborative design across distributed environments.
• Work closely with product management, UX, geometry kernel, visualisation, constraint solver, and cloud engineering teams to deliver high-performance CAD applications.
• Support continuous improvement of software architecture, coding standards, and overall product quality.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex geometric or workflow issues across multiple configurations and platforms.

Qualifications

• Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or a CAD‑related discipline.
• 5+ years’ experience developing industrial CAD/CAE/CAM/PLM software solutions.
• Experience with geometry kernels (CGM, Parasolid, ACIS) and/or constraint solver engines (DCM).
• Familiarity with PLM ecosystems such as CATIA, NX, Teamcenter, or 3DEXPERIENCE.
• Knowledge of Bezier/NURBS mathematics, Class A surfacing, parametric modelling, or direct-edit technologies (e.g., Synchronous Technology, Onshape, SpaceClaim).
• Understanding of industrial design workflows in automotive, aerospace, or manufacturing sectors.

Preferred Attributes

• Experience with low-code/no-code modelling logic or rule-based design automation.
• Proven track record in performance optimisation and geometry visualisation for complex assemblies.
