Research Engineer - Advanced Manufacturing

You love geometry, maths and code that runs close to the machine. Invent the CAD and toolpath systems behind next-generation hardware.

A young Toronto company combines manufacturing with software: it writes its own CAD and geometry tools and makes advanced parts for leading tech companies, including projects in aerospace, robotics and medical devices. Your first project: automatically matching and validating 3D CAD models against 2D drawings, a job someone still does by hand today. Next on the list: a geometry kernel of its own, a CAD environment built in-house, and the engine that plans CNC tool paths.

What you'll own

• A core subsystem, end to end, until you know it better than anyone
• Automated matching and validation of 3D models against 2D drawings
• Foundational systems built from first principles, not libraries glued together
• A small team covering software, firmware and mechanical engineering

Must-haves

• Strong maths and computational-geometry fundamentals
• You understand what happens close to the hardware (experience limited to web apps, without a strong maths base, won't fit)
• You like problems with no set stack and no detailed specification
• 2+ years of experience;
  technical depth mattersmore than pedigree, and no PhD is needed
• Working from the Toronto office five days a week, 9-9-5, commuting daily (no remote or hybrid)
• Already allowed to work in Canada;
  sponsorship isn't available

Bonus points

• Production code for geometry, CAD/CAM, graphics or tool paths
• A background in GPUs, chips, embedded systems, firmware or self-driving vehicles
• Results in maths olympiads, or research in geometry, graphics or robotics

What's in it for you

• $250k–$300k USD base + 0.1–1% equity
• Deep technical problems with real parts and real customers
• Full ownership of a subsystem in a small, ambitious team

Good to know

• Full-time, on-site in Toronto, 9-9-5
• Process: half-hour call with both founders → one-hour technical interview → a take-home assignment only if needed → up to a week of paid work at the office with the team → offer
