Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for a highly skilled Software Engineer specialized and experienced in computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) applications with a passion for CNC machining technology and computational problem-solving. The ideal candidate thrives at the intersection of engineering, software, and innovation—able to design CNC machine toolpath generating algorithms, build scalable software, and collaborate with scientists, engineers, and technologists on innovative digital products. You are a curious self-starter who enjoys tackling open-ended challenges, balancing independent work with teamwork, and driving ideas from concept to deployment.

What you get to do?

• Develop software to automate and simulate the CNC machining process
• Develop high-performance algorithms related to advanced manufacturing applications that run efficiently
• Develop algorithms to perform toolpath planning for CNC machines
• Develop algorithms that run on local and cloud system deployments
• Work with scientists, software engineers, technologists, and product personnel on innovative new digital products
• Write robust, well-documented code using standard tools such as BitBucket, Jira, etc.

What you will bring to the team:

• Curious self-starter who can solve open-ended problems through a combination of high-contribution independent work and integration with small teams.
• Undergraduate Degree in a technical field (such as engineering, computer science, math, or general sciences)
