If you love triangles, software development, CAD/CAM, and the intersection of mechanical engineering with computer science, this may be the perfect role for you.  

What’s in it for you?

Small Team, Big Impact

Our team is small and agile; as a core member, we will look to you for opinions and contributions that shape our engineering direction, product development practices, team culture, and the Fictiv organization.

Inspiring Customers

Our customers work on products that push the technological boundaries. You’ll help build the next level of complex, professional web-based 3D graphical applications.  Help us shape the future of manufacturing by developing systems for analyzing (quoting, annotating, and correcting) CAD models for parts that will immediately become parts of cars, medical devices, toys, aerospace systems, and more.

Impact in this Role 

Computational geometry engineers allow us to scale our operations and logistics past human limits. We do this through geometric analysis, feature detection, and design rule checks to automate and provide insight into manufacturing decisions. We share this data internally and with our manufacturing partners to improve the capabilities of our manufacturing network.

Work With Real-World Models for Real Applications

At Fictiv, we work collaboratively to deliver new features to our platform. You will work in small cross-functional teams to ship code early and often to ensure a rapid feedback loop between us and our customers. You and your team have autonomy to try out new development methodologies and technologies to meet team goals.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading Projects – All software engineers at Fictiv have the opportunity to lead projects. You’ll guide the team through clarifying requirements, brainstorming solutions, and making tough tradeoffs between scope and schedule
• Expand Our Analysis Capabilities - We are constantly pushing the limits of automated reasoning of CAD models for manufacturing. You’ll add new, more complex manufacturing processes to Fictiv’s service offerings. You’ll increase Fictiv’s capacity to deliver prototype- to production-scale demand through analyzing datasets, automating DFM feedback, and visualizing 3D models
• Analyze production data to extract salient features for automation
• Develop algorithms for analysis of 3D models and 2D drawings
• Develop heuristics for estimating pricing and machinability of a variety of manufacturing processes

Desired Skills:

• Mechanical Engineering background with focus in comp geo
• Graphics background (video game or simulation)
• B.S., M.S./PhD preferred
• C/C++ programming experience strongly preferred
• Past internship, work experience, or project team experience

We will consider the following background as well:

• A) Graduate student (M.S. or PhD)
  Computational Geometry and/or Computer Graphics focus
  C/C++ experience
  Nice to have: AI and/or machine learning experience

• B) Engineer/Researcher/Software Developer
  2+ years related to (some of the following)
  Computational geometry
  Computer graphics
  AI
  Machine learning
  Coding and algorithm development
  Coding and algorithm development (work or hobby) for CNC and/or 3DP applications

Perks and benefits

• Competitive medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401K plan
• Monthly Virtual Work stipend for things like food, internet, travel, pet care, health and wellness
• Annual Education stipend
• Parental leave programs 
• Paid volunteer days
• Onboarding setup, including: standing desk, laptop, monitor, and chair, and a stipend for additional items such as headphones, blue light glasses, or any other ergonomic supplies you may want or need
• And much, much more!

Salary Range: 
Base - $140,000 - $170,000 (depending upon experience)
