About the Role

We are looking for a talented Software Engineer to join our 3DCS development team. In this role, you will help design, develop, and maintain the software that powers our industry-leading dimensional variation analysis platform used by manufacturers around the world.

You will work across multiple areas of the product, developing new features, improving existing functionality, and solving complex technical challenges. This position offers the opportunity to contribute directly to a specialized engineering application while learning advanced concepts related to geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), tolerance analysis, and variation simulation.

If you enjoy tackling complex problems, building high-quality software, and working with a collaborative global team, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do
  • Design, develop, test, and maintain software features within the 3DCS platform
  • Translate user and business requirements into scalable technical solutions
  • Collaborate with Product Management, Application Engineering, and Software Development teams to define and implement new capabilities
  • Contribute to architecture discussions and identify opportunities for technical improvements
  • Create and maintain technical documentation
  • Participate in code reviews and help uphold coding standards and software quality
  • Troubleshoot issues and provide support for customer-reported software defects
  • Develop and execute testing strategies, including regression and performance testing
  • Support product validation and release activities
  • Share knowledge, mentor junior team members and interns, and contribute to a culture of continuous learning


What We're Looking For
Required Qualifications
  • Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field; equivalent experience will be considered
  • 4+ years of professional software development experience
  • Strong object-oriented design and programming skills
  • Proficiency in C++ or demonstrated ability to become highly proficient
  • Experience working with version control systems, automated testing, continuous integration, and modern software development practices
  • Strong understanding of the software development lifecycle
  • Ability to work effectively within a large, established codebase
  • Demonstrated ability to quickly learn new technologies and technical domains
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
Preferred Qualifications
  • Knowledge of GD&T, tolerance analysis, or dimensional engineering
  • Experience with computational geometry, numerical methods, statistics, or simulation software
  • CAD software or geometry kernel integration experience
  • Multi-threaded or cross-platform software development experience
  • Understanding of manufacturing and assembly processes
  • Experience developing performance-critical software applications
What Makes This Role Unique

3DCS combines software engineering with real-world manufacturing and engineering challenges. While prior experience in dimensional variation analysis is helpful, it is not required. We provide structured training and mentoring to help you build expertise in this specialized field.

Success in this role comes from strong software engineering fundamentals, curiosity, and a willingness to learn.
Key Success Factors
  • Strong ownership and accountability
  • Effective prioritization and organization skills
  • Collaborative mindset and willingness to share expertise
  • Ability to teach, mentor, and communicate technical concepts clearly
  • Leadership through influence and technical excellence
  • Creative problem-solving and continuous improvement mindset
