At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior CAD Developer with deep expertise in geometric modeling and CAD system development. The ideal candidate will hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science/CAE (or related field) with 7+ years of experience, or a Master’s degree with 10+ years of experience.

The candidate should be proficient with the ACIS modeling kernel, experienced in C++ and software architecture, and knowledgeable about CAD parametric systems. Experience with CAD healing, especially for dirty CAD, is strongly desired. Knowledge of Parasolid is a plus.

The successful candidate will join a dynamic and collaborative team building cutting-edge CAD and simulation technology.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and optimize advanced CAD algorithms and features.

• Develop solutions using the ACIS geometric modeler; leverage Parasolid knowledge when applicable.

• Work with CAD parametric systems to support design, editing, and modification workflows.

• Contribute to CAD healing algorithms, with a focus on handling dirty or imperfect CAD models.

• Architect and implement robust and scalable software components in C++.

• Collaborate with other developers and domain experts in a fast-paced R&D environment.

• Take ownership of complex tasks, working independently or as part of a team.

• Participate in code reviews, testing, and performance optimization.

• Mentor junior engineers and share expertise in CAD and modeling technologies.

Qualifications

• Ph.D. in Computer Science, CAE, Computational Engineering, or a related field with 7+ years of experience, OR Master’s degree with 10+ years of experience.

• Proven proficiency with the ACIS geometric modeling kernel.

• Knowledge of Parasolid is a strong plus.

• Strong expertise in C++ (modern standards) and software architecture.

• Solid understanding of CAD parametric systems and their implementation.

• Experience in CAD model healing, especially handling dirty CAD data.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and debugging skills.

• Ability to work independently as well as part of a dynamic, collaborative team.

• Excellent communication skills and a passion for building cutting-edge technology.
