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.

End-to-end 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.

Continuous improvement

• 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.
