Drafter is building the future of Design for Manufacturing. We’re building software that bridges the gap between design and manufacturing. We help high-precision hardware teams design systems that are optimized for production with efficiency and quality at the core. Our mission is to build the next generation of tools that impact hardware development at scale.
What We're Looking For:
We are in search of a hungry, ambitious, and exceptionally talented core engineer to join our early-stage engineering team who’s passionate about shaping the future of hardware development tools from the ground-up.
Responsibilities
- Own and develop features using computational geometry algorithms on low-level CAD kernels
- Work with B-Rep (Boundary Representation) and direct modeling techniques to process and manipulate CAD data efficiently
- Work in Python/C++ with a CAD kernel to handle the representation of Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) within our software solutions
- Collaborate with the front-end engineering team to ensure seamless integration into user-facing features
- Tackle complex engineering challenges and conduct performance tests related to CAD integration, topology, and low-level kernel operations to optimize performance
- Work hand-in-hand with the founding team to define the product and translate user needs into technical specs, with an eye for user pain, simplicity, and scalability
Qualifications
- 3-7+ years of hands-on experience with geometry kernels and low-level operations in C++
- Proficiency in working with CAD kernels such as OpenCascade, SMLib, Parasolid, or similar, CAD data structures, and the ability to navigate through CAD topology
- Knowledge of B-Rep, direct modeling, and CAD data manipulation
- Demonstrated ability to architect and implement complex back-end solutions and take technical ownership
- Strong communication skills and ability to effectively articulate technical concepts, trade-offs and decisions
- Willingness to travel to colocate for in-person work weeks with our small, mighty team
What we offer
- Full medical, dental, vision insurance and benefits
- Competitive salary
- Generous equity package
- Limitless career opportunity
- A positive, flexible working environment
