Software Engineer
Summary
nVariate seeks a Computer Scientist/Engineer to join our growing team working to develop the world’s first two-way digital thread for design engineers. Utilizing our patented technology, you will help write software that allows CAD models to seamlessly integrate with downstream applications such as 3D printing, computational analysis, inspection, AR/VR, etc., while retaining the accurate geometry and metadata created by the designer.
About nVariate
Founded in Austin, Texas in 2016, nVariate was started to commercialize proprietary technology that creates ready-to-use geometrically watertight CAD models for CAE, CAM, inspection, etc. (generically CAx). Existing CAD software produces geometrically non-watertight CAD models that must be “healed” to create watertight CAD models via a costly and inefficient process that degrades model quality. Our technology eliminates this healing and meshing process, which is of substantial benefit to CAx users with complex and/or precision designs in aerospace, automobile, manufacturing, and medical device industries.
Once a feature-based CAD model is natively watertight it can not only be utilized directly by downstream CAx applications, but any changes made to the downstream model can be returned to the CAD software without translation or loss of geometric design intent. This unique ability allows us to create a two-way digital thread and maintain a consistent and accurate Model Based Definition.
nVariate offers its employees challenging, cutting edge work, with an emphasis on excellence and product quality. We believe that:
Our work matters, and we are developing technology that will fundamentally improve the fields of design and engineering as well as the lives of its users and the people who benefit from products created by these tools.
We must listen to and serve our customers by offering unique solutions that challenge the status-quo.
We must pursue ethical practices throughout all levels of our business, even if it means passing up opportunities or loss of margin.
Our Employees should be challenged and given the opportunity to pursue work in which they excel and thrive creatively, but also have adequate time to relax and pursue endeavors outside of work.
We offer a flexible schedule and the ability to work remotely from within the United States. Salary is commensurate with experience and benefits are available.
Required Qualifications
Undergraduate or advanced degree (Masters or PhD) in related STEM field.
Experience with C/C++ software development.
Experience with modern software development practices, tools, and agile methodology (OPP, libraries, Scrum, Visual Studio, Jira, Git, CI/CD, etc.).
Ability to operate independently and tackle challenging programming and technology implementation problems.
Characteristics of a Strong Candidate
Background in geometric modeling and/or a CAx field such as finite element analysis, additive manufacturing, or metrology.
Familiarity with at least one feature-based CAD API (Creo, NX, Catia, Solidworks).
Desire to learn and use spline-based geometry and higher mathematics.
Eagerness to learn about customer challenges and devise new methods of addressing those challenges.
Experience with creating release-ready plugins or stand-alone software.
EEO
All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status and any other protected class under state or federal law.
