Computational Geometry Senior Software Engineer

 Who is Re:Build Manufacturing?

At Re:Build Manufacturing we're rebuilding America's manufacturing base and creating meaningful, sustainable jobs in areas that have been deindustrialized over the past 20-30 years. Our strategy is to employ technology, systems, deep financial resources, and best management practices to compete and win as manufacturers in the global market. We are NOT private equity. We do not buy companies with the intention of selling them. Over the next decades we want to make a difference in the US Manufacturing economy and the communities in which we operate. We believe in the power of people and the long-term competitive advantage that can be derived from helping our employees achieve their fullest potential.

In this role, you will be part of a dynamic team revolutionizing composites manufacturing. By leveraging advanced digital manufacturing techniques, we aim to bring rapid prototyping capabilities and unprecedented scalability to the composites industry.

What you get to do:

• Develop software to automate the design and manufacturing processes of composite parts.
• Build algorithms that generalize engineering design tasks.
• Design algorithms for CNC machine toolpath planning.
• Convert 3D CAD models into various formats, including 2D projections and engineering drawings.
• Implement feature detection algorithms for 3D CAD models.
• Generate and analyze synthetic datasets of 3D models.
• Identify and implement opportunities to automate manufacturing workflows.
• Write robust, well-documented code using standard tools like BitBucket and Jira.

What you will bring to the team:

Educational Background:

• Bachelor’s degree in a technical field (e.g., engineering, computer science, mathematics, or general sciences).
• Master’s degree or higher in a technical field (e.g., engineering, computer science, mathematics, or sciences).

Professional Experience:

• Over 5 years of software engineering experience in geometry-intensive domains such as CAD, CAM, or graphics required.
• Extensive hands-on experience in writing custom software code required utilizing major CAD engines (e.g., Parasolid, Open Cascade, ACIS) and CAD application software development kits (e.g., SolidWorks, Fusion360, Siemens NX API/SDK).
• Proven track record as a curious self-starter capable of solving open-ended problems through high-contribution independent work and effective integration within small teams.
• Practical experience in engineering topics, including design engineering, design for manufacturing, and process engineering.
• Familiarity with advanced manufacturing processes such as CNC machining and thermoset composites.

Technical Skills:

• High proficiency in Python programming.
• Hands-on experience with various major categories of 3D data, including CAD, CAM, graphics, 3D scanning, simulation of 3D physical phenomena, and mechanical-interacting control system design and modeling.
• Advanced proficiency required in C/C++ programming, along with experience in at least one additional general-purpose programming language (e.g., C#, Java).
• Power-user-level expertise required with CAD and CAM software, including SolidWorks and PowerMILL.

Desired Qualifications:

• Mechanically focused background in fields such as mechanical engineering, physics, design engineering, or hands-on experience in a machine shop or factory.
• Expert-level knowledge of manufacturing workflows.
• Advanced understanding of optimization algorithms.
• Proficiency in programming with CUDA or similar platforms like OpenCL.
• Experience in developing and deploying custom plugins for CAD/CAM software, with a focus on enhancing or automating design capabilities.
• Proven experience in automating engineering design processes.
• Demonstrated ability to automate workflows effectively.
