Computational Geometry Engineer (Bay Area Preferred)

Fictiv is a global manufacturing and supply chain company that enables organizations to scale globally. The Computational Geometry Engineer will develop algorithms that analyze CAD models and automate design-for-manufacturing decisions, facilitating faster transitions from prototype to production.

Responsibilities:

• Lead engineering projects Guide projects from requirements clarification through solution design and execution, making informed tradeoffs between scope, quality, and schedule
• Expand automated manufacturing intelligence Push the limits of automated reasoning over CAD models by adding support for increasingly complex manufacturing processes
• Develop geometry-driven algorithms
• Analyze 3D models and 2D drawings
• Extract salient geometric features for automation
• Build heuristics to estimate pricing and machinability across multiple manufacturing processes
• Turn production data into insight Analyze datasets to power scalable DFM feedback, 3D visualization, and production-ready decision-making

Requirements:

• Mechanical Engineering background with a focus on computational geometry
• Strong C/C++ programming experience
• Experience with computer graphics, simulations, or geometry-heavy systems (including video game engines)
• Bachelor's degree required; M.S. or PhD strongly preferred
• Internship, academic research, or professional project experience in relevant domains
• M.S. or PhD in Computational Geometry, Computer Graphics, or a related field
• Advanced C/C++ development experience
• 2+ years of experience in one or more of the following: Computational geometry, Computer graphics, Algorithm development, CNC and/or additive manufacturing (3DP) applications, Geometry-focused hobby or open-source projects
• AI and/or machine learning experience
• Experience applying algorithms to real-world manufacturing constraints
