Software Developer - Geometric Modelling (27292)

Cambridge
to £50,000 DoE + benefits

An entry or higher level position with ample opportunity for career growth

Geometric modelling software enabling 3D designs in a multitude of industries is at the heart of this role. The opportunity to develop the intricate modelling software will stretch your mathematical abilities within a stimulating and friendly working environment.

Backed by an excellent academic record, possibly including a PhD in Mathematics or similar technical subject, you will become part of a development team working on the evolution of a first-rate software engine and modelling components. This role could be ideal for people who enjoy solving exacting numerical challenges and who have a talent for understanding algorithmic 3D visualisations.

Professional coding experience is not essential to be considered for the role (training can be provided), however, a natural interest in computing and knowledge of coding – perhaps in Python, and ideally using C / C++ or similar, will be appropriate.

You will need:

  • A good degree and/or PhD in a numerate subject (backed by excellent A-levels or equivalent)
  • Proven algorithmic and numerical modelling skills, including vector and matrix mathematics (for distances, angles, affine transforms)
  • Some experience with modelling using coding languages such as Python, C, C++ or similar
  • Existing, full rights to work in the UK without time limit.

Exposure to 3D geometric modelling (edges, faces and vertices, or parametric surfaces) would be ideal and at the more senior level, previous experience within CAD / CAM software development would be particularly relevant.

This position offers significant opportunities for career development, as well as a substantial salary and benefits package for the successful candidate. The position is based in the company’s Cambridge offices and hybrid working may be available after an initial training period is completed onsite.

Key skills: 3D maths, spatial thinking, vector mathematics, visualisation, 3D graphics, problem solving, C or C++
