Your Key Success Factors?

* MS or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics or a related discipline.
* 2 - 5 years' experience designing and developing commercial software for computational geometry, 3D modeling, visualization, and finite element preprocessing and/or analysis packages.
* Excellent C and C++ programming skills.
* A strong background in designing and developing complex commercial software systems, including knowledge in OOD and component based design concepts.
* Understanding of software build processes including smooth integration with third party software packages.
* Experience with and appreciation for operating within a professional software development process with the appropriate checks and balances.
* Solid verbal and written communication skills

Additional Skills & Experiences:

* Expertise in computer graphics and Graphical User Interface (GUI) Design.
* Experience with GUI and Graphics packages like Qt and HOOPS.
* Mesh generation techniques/toolkits.
* Experience with developing scripting interfaces preferably using Python.
* Experience with geometry/CAD translation, software development and usage.
* Geometry kernels (e.g. ACIS, Parasolid, CGAL) and commercial MCAD software (e.g. CATIA, ProE).
