Job Description

Senior Innovation Engineer, Generative Design Optimization

Generative design is transforming the way products are conceived, designed and manufactured. You will be part of a team at the forefront of the shift from traditional CAD-based shape design to higher level functional design. You will drive the research and implementation of cutting edge algorithms, challenging the status quo of BREP/CAD geometry and expanding the solution space for existing geometry problems to enable ground breaking user approaches to mechanical design.

Your team develops TrueSOLID, an innovative technology engine; a Simulation and Optimization framework with a Volumetric geometry kernel at its core. We are a high velocity team of talented technical specialists, driving innovation and moving beyond traditional methods. The technology is the foundation for Generative Design, driving differentiated solutions for both Onshape and Creo products.

Day-To-Day:

Our ideal candidate approaches complex problems with an analytical mindset firmly rooted in physics, engineering and mathematics principals. You will be responsible for researching and delivering innovative topology optimization capabilities; advancing the next generation of design software for manufacturing. You will be synthesizing work from other members of the team, coordinating work through daily standups, authoring new code, supporting testers and interact with customers and other members of the larger generative solution team as needed to deliver fast, elegant, manufacturing ready part optimizations solutions.

Preferred Skills and Knowledge:

• Demonstrated understanding of optimization methods (direct, iterative, stochastic, multi-objective, etc.)
• Approaches complex problems with an analytical mindset firmly rooted in engineering and physics principles.
• Experience with complex algorithm design and math intensive software development
• Strong foundation in computer science, data structures, algorithms
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team
• Passion for learning, research, and innovation

Basic Qualifications:

• Experience developing topology optimization solutions
• Proficiency with (modern) C++, object-oriented techniques and parallelization.
• Experience developing core data structures and other software frameworks using modern design patterns and principles
• 5+ years related industry experience
• Bachelor's or equivalent experience in mechanical engineering, physics or related field plus an advanced degree or experience in mathematical optimization.
