 * Experience in algorithm design and implementation, especially in domains such as computational geometry and numerical methods.
 * Solid understanding of data structures and algorithmic complexity, with the ability to reason about performance trade-offs.
 * Collaborative mindset - able to work closely with multidisciplinary teams including manufacturing experts, data scientists, and software engineers.
 * Excellent communication skills, capable of articulating complex technical ideas clearly and constructively.
 * Degree (or equivalent experience) in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or a closely related field.

Desirable Experience

 * Background in computational geometry, CAD/CAM, CNC machining, or manufacturing process modelling.
 * Familiarity with geometric kernels, CAD/CAM libraries, or simulation tools.
 * Experience in high-performance computing, parallelisation, or GPU programming.
 * Exposure to modern software practices such as CI/CD, code review, and automated testing.
 * Experience with machine learning or optimisation techniques (e.g., reinforcement learning, heuristic optimisation, constraint solving).

## Description

As we continue to expand our Machining Strategy team, we're looking for passionate, R&D-oriented Software Engineers to help us push the boundaries of what's possible in manufacturing automation.
The role will involve researching, designing, and developing novel algorithms and software systems that enable our AI to make smarter machining decisions - from optimizing toolpaths and cutting strategies to automating complex CAM workflows. You'll work closely with domain experts in manufacturing, data science, and software engineering to turn cutting-edge ideas into robust, production-ready solutions.
