Principal Computational Engineer, 3D CAD & Geometric Intelligence

Technical Vision & Roadmap

Own and drive a multi-year technical roadmap for Xometry's geometric reasoning stack — B-Rep ingestion and healing, feature recognition, DFM analysis, sub-process routing, geometric pricing signals, and downstream CAM/CAE integration — balancing research ambition with disciplined business value delivery.

Partnership Integration (DFM AI + IQE)

• Serve as the technical architect for the embedded DFM AI + IQE track inside the partner's ecosystem.
• Lead the integration of Xometry's geometric and AI capabilities directly into Solid Edge, NX, Designcenter, and Teamcenter, operating directly on native 3D geometry through the Parasolid kernel.
• Define the integration architecture, the geometry contract between the two systems, the precision and latency budgets required for in-CAD real-time feedback, and the long-term roadmap for an end-to-end digital thread from designer intent to manufactured part.

Geometric Kernel Architecture

• Architect and personally implement the hardest components of the geometric kernel layer — robust intersection, offset, Boolean, projection, and trimming operations on NURBS curves and surfaces — plus the resilience layer that absorbs malformed CAD that arrives in the wild.
• Establish precision, robustness, and performance contracts (floating-point error budgets, predicate selection, tolerancing, numerical stability) that the rest of engineering builds on top of.

DFM & Sub-Process Intelligence

• Drive the methodology for combining classical computational geometry (B-Rep traversal, parametric surface analysis, medial axis, geodesic distance, curvature analysis) with modern learning-based approaches (graph neural networks on B-Reps, point-cloud and voxel encoders, differentiable geometry, neural implicit representations) to detect manufacturability risk across 12+ CNC sub-processes and the broader process catalog.

Research-to-Production Translation

• Translate research from computational geometry, computer-aided geometric design, and computational fabrication into shipped systems. Publish, patent, or open-source where doing so strengthens recruiting, partnerships, or the platform itself.

Technical Leadership & Standards

• Provide technical leadership across geometry, ML, and platform teams. Lead design reviews, define the technical interview bar, and partner with engineering leadership on hiring, calibration, and IC-track career progression. Mentor Staff, Senior, and mid-level engineers.

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Partner with Product, Manufacturing Engineering, Pricing, and Operations leadership to translate business outcomes (margin, lead time, yield, defect rate) into precisely specified geometric and algorithmic problems. Influence roadmaps, priorities, and resourcing across partner teams.

External Representation

• Represent Xometry externally — conferences, standards bodies, academic collaborations, technical reviews, and customer engagements — as the recognized technical authority for our DFM and geometry platform.
