Research Engineer, CAD

About the company Our client is a manufacturing company. The role Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Research-focused engineer who builds geometry and CAD software, automating checks between 3D models and 2D drawings. The role grows into owning a core software subsystem end to end, working alongside a technical lead on hard computational problems. What you'll do - Automate the matching and validation of 3D models against their 2D drawings. - Contribute to core geometry libraries and internal design tooling. - Extend and eventually take ownership of a toolpath computation engine. - Explore unresolved questions in geometric algorithms and design software. - Become the expert on one core subsystem and own it from design through long-term maintenance. - Work closely with the technical lead and engineering team to apply mathematical software work to physical production. Requirements What we're looking for - Strong mathematics and computational geometry fundamentals. - Exposure to low-level software work, such as embedded code or firmware, or to graphics and 3D modelling tools. - Hands-on understanding of how hardware and operating systems execute code, valued over general web development. - Capacity to work through demanding questions in shape modelling and machine path calculation. - Comfort tackling loosely defined problems where the tools and scope are still being chosen. - Ability to drive a subsystem from investigation through implementation. - Openness to becoming the team's most knowledgeable person on one component of the codebase. - Ability to connect rigorous theory with practical outcomes in manufacturing. - 2 to 8 years of relevant experience. Bonus points - Math competition experience at a national or international level. - Prior academic research during undergraduate studies in a quantitative discipline. - Machine learning or computer graphics experience. - Background in self-driving systems work on demanding, loosely scoped engineering questions. - Production geometry or toolpath software experience. - Experience at a semiconductor or other deep-technical hardware company. Benefits Compensation and benefits - Base salary: $250K to $300K - Equity - Medical coverage - Dental coverage - Mental health coverage Location and work model - Toronto, Canada - On-site, fully in person - Full-time
