Software Engineer (Computational Geometry)

Software EngineerAt Layup Parts, our mission is simple: deliver high-quality composite parts faster. We're a technology-first manufacturing company transforming how composite tooling and parts are designed, quoted, and manufactured for the aerospace and defense industries. Our customers are developing tomorrow's high-tech products, and we are building technology to accelerate their success. By combining advanced manufacturing with proprietary software, we're redefining what speed and scalability look like in composite manufacturing and hiring a team of exceptional engineers who want to solve difficult technical problems with real-world impact.We are looking for exceptional software engineers with deep interest or experience in computational geometry, CAD/CAM systems, and geometric algorithms. In this role, you'll work directly with our CTO and software team to develop the geometric engine that powers our manufacturing platform. You'll build systems that analyze customer CAD models, automate manufacturability assessments, generate tooling and production geometry, and help bridge the gap between digital design and physical manufacturing.This is a rare opportunity to work on challenging geometry problems while seeing your software directly impact real aerospace hardware production. As an early-stage company, we value engineers who thrive in ambiguity, take ownership, and enjoy building systems from the ground up.What You'll Work On:Build software that analyzes, manipulates, and generates complex 3D geometryDevelop algorithms that evaluate manufacturability of composite parts and toolingBuild interfaces to program machining equipment to automate workflowsDevelop internal engineering tools that improve speed, quality, and scalability across the factoryCollaborate closely with manufacturing, operations, and software teams to translate real-world production challenges into software solutionsHelp shape technical architecture and mentor other engineers as the team growsWhat we're looking for:Be awesome! Be the kind of person others want to work with.Strong software engineering fundamentals and a track record of solving difficult technical problemsAbility to independently drive projects from concept through implementationStrong problem-solving and analytical thinking skillsExperience building production-quality software systemsAbility to quickly learn and navigate complex technical domainsPreferred:Experience with Rust, C++, Go, or other performance-oriented languagesExperience working with computational geometry, CAD/CAM systems, graphics, or geometric modelingExperience with mesh processing, solid modeling, or geometric kernelsFamiliarity with manufacturing processes, CNC machining, tooling, or automation systemsExperience developing algorithms for geometric analysis, optimization, or manufacturabilityStartup or small-team experience in fast-moving environmentsStrong foundation in mathematics, physics, computer graphics, robotics, or related fields$130,000 - $200,000 a year Final compensation is based on your experience, skills, and what you bring to the table.
