About the Company

Position Overview The Software Engineer designs, develops, and maintains functionality within the 3DCS software platform. The role delivers new features, enhancements, and corrective maintenance to a high standard of quality, performance, usability, and maintainability, while protecting the integrity of a long-lived code base and the intellectual property it represents. The position works autonomously within an assigned scope and is expected to operate across several modules of the product rather than a single component. Architecturally significant decisions and cross-cutting change are proposed and reviewed with the Software Development Technical Lead and the Principal Software Engineer, who own the platform architecture. The role is a full individual contributor position with no line management or budget responsibility. 3DCS is a dimensional variation analysis platform. The role therefore combines software engineering with an applied engineering domain - geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, tolerance analysis, and variation simulation. Depth in that domain is not required on arrival and is built on the job through structured mentoring, but a demonstrated capacity to learn an unfamiliar technical domain to a working level is essential.

About the Role

s, and collaborates with globally distributed teams.

Responsibilities

  • ● Contribute to the functional analysis of user needs, working with Product Management and application engineering
  • ● Study the technical feasibility and the implementation options for planned functionality
  • ● Contribute to the preparation and drafting of technical specifications for assigned features
  • ● Participate in effort estimation and commit to the agreed scope
  • ● Support other team members in responding to requests raised by customer representatives Design and development
  • ● Analyze and develop functionality in the languages and frameworks used by the platform, principally C++ for the engine and its associated GUI and tooling layers
  • ● Work in several components of the product, applying the established architecture, coding conventions, unit handling and file format rules
  • ● Document code and complete technical documentation
  • ● Use the development, build, version control and defect tracking tooling provided
  • ● Report progress and remaining work regularly and proactively
  • ● Identify architectural risk and escalate architecturally significant change to the Technical Lead or Principal Software Engineer for review before implementation Software quality
  • ● Define the test protocols and scenarios needed to verify that delivered capability conforms to the stated requirement
  • ● Execute and analyze tests, including regression and numerical accuracy checks in owned areas
  • ● Perform evolutive and corrective maintenance, including components not written by the incumbent
  • ● Provide Level 3 support for customer issues in owned areas
  • ● Participate in the piloting and validation phase of a release at the customer Team contribution
  • ● Pass on knowledge and skills to support multidisciplinary capability within the development team
  • ● Propose technical improvements and innovations
  • ● Support and train new joiners, and act as tutor for an apprentice or an intern
  • ● Participate in code review as both author and reviewer Leadership & Collaboration The role carries no line authority. It contributes through technical credibility, reliable delivery, and knowledge sharing within the development team.
