Engineering Manager, Modeling & Rendering

About the role

nTop builds parametric design software for the hardest geometry problems in aerospace, defense, propulsion, and industrial energy. The platform lets engineers define a design as a parametric program — not one aircraft or turbine, but every variant a program might need — and explore design spaces that were previously too large to search. The next step is generative: describe the part you need, and let AI produce a sophisticated, engineering‑grade nTop model in minutes. We're building the product that makes that possible.

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the team that sits at the beginning of everything nTop does: Modeling & Rendering. This team owns our core implicit modeling technology and the tools an engineer uses to create, modify, and visualize a model — whether they build it by hand in the application or generate it with an AI tool such as Astra or Fable. It also owns how those models flow into the broader ecosystem of CAD and PLM tools our customers already rely on. If the rest of nTop is a chain, this team is the first link, and the beating heart of what we've built and what we're building next. The team is small, senior, and deep. Its engineers are industry experts in implicit geometry, GPU acceleration, and rendering, and they are the people who made it possible for an AI to skip manual modeling and go straight to a generative result — including refining what a good model looks like so the AI produces one. The team is distributed across Europe and the US,
