Computational Geometry Engineer (Bay Area Preferred)
About The Position
At Fictiv, Computational Geometry Engineers help us scale manufacturing beyond human limits. You’ll work at the intersection of software engineering, geometry, and manufacturing, developing algorithms that analyze CAD models, extract critical features, and automate complex design-for-manufacturing (DFM) decisions. Your work directly enables faster, smarter transitions from prototype to production across our global manufacturing network. You’ll collaborate in small, cross-functional teams that ship early and often. We value autonomy, technical curiosity, and thoughtful tradeoffs—giving you the freedom to explore new tools, approaches, and methodologies while solving challenging real-world problems.
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
Nice To Haves
- AI and/or machine learning experience
- Experience applying algorithms to real-world manufacturing constraints
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.
Benefits
- Competitive medical and dental insurance
- 401(k) retirement savings plan
- Monthly Virtual Work stipend
- Generous PTO policy
- Leave programs, including maternity, parental/bonding, and medical leave to care for yourself or a loved one
- Onboarding setup, including a standing desk, laptop, monitor, and chair, plus a stipend for additional items such as headphones and blue light glasses
- Company-paid annual retreat
