Location: Pune, India

CAD Software Development

• Work directly with the Product Owner to refine requirements and clarify technical feasibility. Explain design options, constraints and trade-offs in accessible terms.
• Propose and evaluate design options using approved architecture and standard design patterns.
• Develop functionality related to geometric modeling, B-Rep and topology operations, assemblies, drafting, data exchange, mold and die workflows, model repair, automation or CAD APIs, depending on assignment.
• Analyze the effect of changes on immediate dependencies, persistent documents and backward compatibility.
• Improve code structure and maintainability as part of feature delivery.
• Independently analyze, design, implement, test and maintain small-to-medium CAD features.
• Break product requirements into technical tasks, dependencies, and testable increments.
• Estimate development effort and communicate delivery risks proactively.
• Own feature delivery from design discussion through implementation, QA support, release and initial stabilization.
• Coordinate changes with developers responsible for adjacent components.
• Investigate and resolve difficult defects within the assigned component.
• Support QA in test design, defect investigation, and release stabilization.
• Support customer or field-reported issue analysis when the issue relates to the owned functional area.

Quality, performance and maintainability

• Define appropriate unit, component and integration test coverage for own features.
• Apply test-first or automated testing approaches where practical.
• Use debugging, profiling, and problem-isolation tools to address stability and performance issues.
• Take responsibility for coding quality, memory behavior, maintainability, and technical documentation.
• Participate substantively in code reviews and challenge solutions constructively.
• Conduct root-cause analysis for recurring defects within the assigned area.
• Partner with QA to clarify acceptance criteria and improve testability.
• Identify improvements to development tools, coding practices, test automation, and team workflows.
• Contribute reusable technical documentation and troubleshooting knowledge.
• Evaluate appropriate AI-enabled development or automation approaches for own area.
• Share CAD domain knowledge through demonstrations, code walkthroughs, or technical sessions.

Key deliverables and KPIs:

• Deliver CAD features independently and predictably
• Reduce recurring or developer-attributable defects in the assigned functional area against the agreed baseline.
• Complete root-cause analysis and preventive action for significant defects in own area.
• Resolve assigned technical investigations without escalation.
• Facilitate at least two relevant knowledge-sharing activities during the review period.
• Demonstrate measurable adoption of an agreed engineering improvement, automation or AI-assisted practice.

Qualifications:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, mechanical or a related field. Advanced degrees are a plus.
• 4 to 8 years of experience as a software developer, with a focus on CAD applications or related technologies.
• Experience delivering software features from design through release.
• Strong experience in C++, C#, and object-oriented development.
• Working knowledge of at least one CAD, geometric-modeling, graphics, engineering-software or manufacturing domain.
• Practical experience with Agile delivery, source control, peer review, unit testing and CI/CD practices
• Skills and knowledge:
• Strong C++, C#, object-oriented design, data structures and algorithms.
• Good understanding of software design patterns and the development of lifecycles.
• Effective debugging, profiling and problem-isolation skills in a large codebase.
• Effective understanding of computational geometry and CAD modeling concepts. ACIS Kernel experience preferred.
• Understanding relevant topics such as B-Rep, topology, geometric tolerances, curves and surfaces, visualization or data persistence.
• Experience writing unit and automated tests.
• Familiarity with CAD kernels, third-party libraries, APIs or CAD data-exchange formats is advantageous.
• Ability to use AI-assisted tools while maintaining code-review, confidentiality and quality requirements.
• Reliable and self-managing.
• Structured problem solver.
• Constructive and evidence-based in technical discussions.
• Source control tools such as Git
