Software Engineer, Computational Geometry

3D Geometry Processing: Design, build, and maintain production-grade pipelines for manipulating diverse 3D representations, including boundary representations (B-Reps), NURBS surfaces, triangular meshes, and point clouds.

Spatial & Numerical Algorithms: Implement robust algorithms for spatial partitioning/indexing, ray-mesh intersections, visibility analysis, collision detection, feature recognition, and surface fitting.

Manufacturing & Toolpath Generation: Convert complex part geometry into reliable manufacturing instructions, motion trajectories, simulations, and CNC toolpaths.

Production Engineering: Architect high-performance, modular C++/Python/Rust libraries with strict numerical robustness, unit testing, and continuous performance optimization.

Internal Tooling & Visualization: Build internal spatial visualization and debugging tools to analyze multi-dimensional geometric data and process outputs.

AI & Automation Systems: Implement machine learning models and intelligent agents to translate natural language into machine macros, diagnose alarm codes, and generate control logic directly from live simulation data.

Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Partner with mechanical, manufacturing, and controls engineers to connect software outputs directly to physical machine hardware.

3D Software Development: Proven experience developing high-precision engineering software, CAD/CAM/CAE engines, robotics motion planners, metrology tools, or industrial automation pipelines.

Programming Proficiency: Strong proficiency in C++, Python, or Rust, with a track record of writing clean, maintainable, and high-performance production code.

Geometric Foundations: Deep understanding of 3D data structures (meshes, point clouds, parametric surfaces) and spatial queries.

Software Architecture: Strong background in API design, modular system architecture, performance profiling, and debugging complex spatial code.

Communication: Ability to clearly explain multi-dimensional concepts, spatial trade-offs, and system behaviors to multi-disciplinary teams.

This is a filter as much as it is an invitation.

We're turning reindustrialization from a talking point into an operating reality. The work is hard, the environment is demanding, and the stakes are real. We compensate with base, bonus, and equity to reflect impact, responsibility, and results, with meaningful upside for the people who help build and scale this company.

For those aligned with the mission and motivated by execution at scale, Foundational offers the opportunity to help define one of the most consequential industrial transformations of the next decade.
