About The Position

As a .NET / C# Engineer on the Plugin Integrations team, you’ll build and maintain the plugins that bring Duro’s PLM platform directly into CAD tools like Solidworks and Siemens NX. These plugins give hardware teams seamless access to parts libraries, BOMs, change orders, and lifecycle management without ever leaving their design environment. These plugins are built in .NET/C# and communicate with Duro’s core platform through our GraphQL API. You’ll own features end-to-end within the plugins—from understanding how a mechanical engineer uses Solidworks daily, to implementing the integration, to shipping it. You’ll work under our Plugin Integrations team lead and alongside other integration engineers, contributing to a codebase that directly impacts how hardware teams experience Duro. Your primary environment is Windows, but you’ll occasionally work across Duro’s core stack (Node.js and TypeScript) when the work calls for it.

Requirements

4–6 years of experience in software engineering with a strong focus on .NET and C#
Experience building plugins, extensions, or integrations for desktop applications—ideally CAD tools like Solidworks, Siemens NX, AutoCAD, or similar
Comfort working with REST and GraphQL APIs as a client—you know how to consume, query, and debug API integrations from the plugin side
Solid understanding of Windows development environments, Visual Studio, .NET Framework and .NET Core, and desktop application lifecycle
Willingness to work across ecosystems—comfortable in WSL, familiar with Node.js/TypeScript enough to run, test, and contribute to the broader Duro stack when needed
A product-minded approach—you care about how the integration feels to the end user, not just whether it technically works

Nice To Haves

Direct experience with the Solidworks API or Siemens NX Open API
Experience with PLM, PDM, or hardware/manufacturing industry software
Familiarity with WPF or WinForms for building plugin UIs
Background in MVVM or similar patterns for desktop application architecture
Experience with NuGet package management and .NET dependency strategies
Knowledge of 3D data formats (STEP, IGES, JT) and CAD file structures
Experience with automated testing in .NET (xUnit, NUnit, or MSTest)

Responsibilities

Build and deliver features within our Solidworks and Siemens NX plugins—translating product requirements into clean, maintainable .NET/C# code that integrates tightly with Duro’s GraphQL API
Work with the CAD plugin SDK APIs for Solidworks and Siemens NX—understanding their event models, UI extension points, and data structures to build integrations that feel native to the design environment
Consume and integrate with Duro’s Apollo GraphQL API—querying and mutating parts, BOMs, change orders, and lifecycle data from within the plugin layer
Debug and troubleshoot across the integration boundary—tracing issues from the .NET plugin through HTTP/GraphQL to the Node.js backend and back
Maintain and improve existing plugin functionality—addressing bugs, improving performance, and keeping integrations current as both the CAD platforms and Duro’s API evolve
Collaborate with your team lead and fellow integration engineers on architecture decisions, code reviews, and shared patterns across the plugin codebase
Occasionally work within the broader Duro stack—running the Node.js/TypeScript API locally via WSL or macOS, contributing to shared utilities, or testing API changes that affect the plugin layer
Engage with product and design to understand how hardware engineers actually use these CAD tools—the best integrations are invisible, and that requires empathy for the end user’s workflow
