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
