Senior Software Developer

Who you are

• You're the kind of developer who wants to understand why a feature matters before deciding how to build it
• You enjoy owning complex technical problems, but you also enjoy talking with product managers, designers, and customers to understand what success actually looks like
• You make thoughtful technical decisions independently and know when to bring others into the conversation
• Experience working with simulation software is a significant advantage. Maybe you've worked with FEA, CFD, multiphysics simulations, scientific visualization, or engineering data platforms
• You understand the kinds of problems engineers are trying to solve
• This is a good fit for someone who likes ambiguity, wants to work closely with our product and leadership teams, and cares about the connection between technical decisions and customer value
• 8+ years building production software in a modern engineering environment
• Strong experience designing scalable backend systems and customer-facing applications
• Experience building complex data visualization or graphics-intensive applications
• The ability to work independently while collaborating closely with teammates
• A product mindset - you think about customer outcomes as much as technical implementation
• Strong communication skills and the ability to explain complex ideas clearly
• Experience with Finite Element Analysis (FEA), CFD, or other CAE workflows
• Experience with engineering simulation platforms
• Experience with CAD, PLM, or engineering software development
• Large engineering datasets and high-performance rendering
• Apply even if you don't meet every single qualification - your potential is what matters most to us

What the job involves

• Modern engineering teams invest a significant amount of time and money on simulation
• Before anything gets built, teams need confidence that a design is going to work: structurally, thermally, aerodynamically, etc
• Simulation is one of the main ways they build that confidence. But the way teams share and review simulation results to make decisions is still pretty broken
• Engineers are exporting videos, taking screenshots, dropping them into PowerPoint, and then trying to make decisions through email threads, meetings, or disconnected slide decks
• The actual decision-making ends up separated from the underlying simulation data, which means context gets lost, feedback is hard to trace, and important engineering knowledge disappears into the workflow
• CoLab already helps engineering teams review CAD, capture feedback, and make better design decisions in one connected workspace
• Now we’re extending that same idea into simulation. The goal is simple: make simulation results collaborative, reviewable, and traceable in the same way CoLab does for CAD today
• We’re starting a new product team focused on bringing simulation review into CoLab
• As one of the first engineers on that team, you’ll help define how simulation data gets ingested, visualized, discussed, and connected back to real engineering decisions
• There are a lot of interesting technical problems here: large datasets, high-performance visualization, viewer interactions, data pipelines, and user experiences that need to work for mechanical engineers doing critical product development work
• The first phase is about learning the product, the customers, and the review workflows we already support today
• You’ll spend time embedded with our Engineering Reviews team, learning how engineers collaborate in CoLab, where the current product is strong, and where simulation creates a new set of problems we need to solve
• From there, you’ll help build the foundation for a new Simulation team - not just technically, but from a product perspective as well
• We want to build something customers actually need and will use in their day-to-day work, and that requires a highly product oriented approach
• You’ll have a meaningful role in shaping both the architecture and the user experience for a new capability that we think can become a major part of engineering review in CoLab
• Help design and build CoLab's next-generation simulation review capabilities
• Build services that ingest and process simulation data from industry-standard engineering software
• Develop high-performance visualization experiences capable of displaying large simulation datasets
• Partner closely with Product, Design, and customers to validate ideas before building them
• Spend time embedded with the Engineering Reviews team to develop deep product and customer understanding before transitioning onto the Simulation team
• Contribute to architectural decisions that will shape this product area for years to come
• Improve performance, scalability, and reliability as simulation capabilities grow
• Collaborate with engineers across the platform to ensure simulation becomes a seamless part of the broader CoLab experience
