Computational Geometry Software Engineer

Plethora is building the factory of the future. We believe everyone should have access to the powers of creation - the ability to think of an invention and instantly get feedback on its manufacturability and cost, and then get it as quickly as possible.

• Work on our CAD add-in team implementing algorithms for geometric analysis, feature detection, and design rule checks for various manufacturing processes such as CNC machining.
• Analyze production data to improve algorithms for error detection, part costing, etc.

• Strong background in software engineering, computational geometry algorithm design (solid CAD preferred), applied math (especially linear algebra) and numerical software implementation.
• Familiar with C#; our CAD add-ins are written primarily in C#.
• Desire to design and make things using tools like 3D CAD programs (SolidWorks / Inventor), CAM, CNC machining and various manufacturing process.

Bonus points for:

• Knowledge of B-Rep model formats, the Parasolid geometry kernel, Solidworks or Inventor, kinematic path planning, physical simulation (especially finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics), familiarity with mechanical engineering principles and GPU/parallel programming.
