Senior Software Engineer, Computational Geometry

• Shape our geometry pipeline by leading the development of robust geometry ingestion and processing systems to transform complex CAD files into robot-ready parts
• Innovate our path planning through the design and implementation of algorithms that expand the operational envelope of our robotic forming cells
• Prototype and validate by rapidly testing new approaches while building high-quality, production-ready code for proven solutions
• Bridge disciplines partnering with robotics and manufacturing engineers to troubleshoot, optimize, and validate geometry and path strategies on physical hardware
• Model and simulate by building kinematic models, optimizers, and analysis tools to validate paths before they hit the robot floor
• Uphold excellence through ensuring code quality with testing, documentation, and reviews aligned to Machina’s engineering standards

• MS or PhD. in Data Science, Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, or a related field
• 5+ years of experience in computational geometry, path planning, or related fields
• Strong background in linear algebra, trigonometry, differential equations, and algorithm design
• Proficiency in both Python and C++, with hands-on use of libraries such as Numpy (Python) or Eigen (C++)
• Proven ability to manipulate meshes, vectors, and transforms in 2D and 3D
• Experience with CAD file formats (STEP, IGES) and graphics-adjacent work (GPU acceleration, ray tracing, geometry kernels)
• A track record of solving complex problems in fast-paced, iterative environments—independently and within teams
• Excellent communication skills
• able to explain technical concepts clearly to both engineers and non-engineers
