Software Engineer, 3D Geometry

Who you are

You have a solid background in software engineering, particularly in developing applications that involve complex geometric algorithms. Your experience with C++ and Python allows you to tackle challenging problems effectively, and you are excited about the potential of 3D printing technology to change the world. You are familiar with concepts such as path planning, tool path generation, and motor control, and you have a keen interest in applying machine learning and computer vision techniques to enhance print success estimation and failure detection.

You thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy working closely with R&D teams to innovate and improve software solutions. Your problem-solving skills are complemented by your ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You are eager to contribute to a team that values hands-on building and innovation in the field of 3D printing.

Desirable

Experience with finite element analysis (FEA) or computational fluid dynamics (CFD) would be a plus, as would familiarity with mesh slicing, polygon arithmetic, and mesh repair techniques. If you have worked on projects involving dynamic print failure detection or real-time communication between printers and desktop applications, we would love to hear about it.
