In Short

We are seeking a Computational Engineer to join our team. The ideal candidate will possess a robust background in software development combined with a profound understanding of computational design, and potentially robotics. This role entails creating resilient software solutions to facilitate innovative computational workflows, thereby bridging the gap between design and engineering. We are looking for a discerning problem-solver capable of translating intricate design challenges into refined code with proper software architecture.

Your Mission

  • Design, develop, and maintain high-quality software solutions for computational design and engineering applications.
  • Architect and implement robust, scalable, and efficient object-oriented software systems using .NET and C#.
  • Collaborate with designers and engineers to understand their needs and translate them into technical requirements.
  • Develop and integrate algorithms for geometric modeling, analysis, and optimization.
  • Apply your knowledge of robotics to develop solutions for automation and manufacturing processes (optional but highly valued).
  • Utilize and extend the Rhinocommon library for advanced geometric operations within the Rhino ecosystem.
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of our software development processes and best practices.

Your Story

  • Software Architecture & Development: Proven experience in designing and building complex software systems.
  • Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Deep understanding of OOP principles and design patterns.
  • .NET & C#: Strong proficiency in developing applications using the .NET framework and C#.
  • Geometry: Solid understanding of computational geometry concepts and algorithms.
  • Rhinocommon: Crucial knowledge and hands-on experience with the Rhinocommon library.
  • Problem-Solving: Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with a creative approach.
  • Communication: Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.
  • Robotics: Experience with robot kinematics, path planning, and control systems is a plus.
  • Computational Design Tools: Familiarity with other computational design platforms or libraries (e.g., Grasshopper, Python, Unity, Unreal Engine) is a plus.
  • Version Control: Experience with Git or other version control systems is a plus.
