About The Team

You will join a highly specialized engineering team focused on advanced meshing technologies for simulation and CAE workflows. The team develops core mesh generation capabilities used across complex engineering applications including crash simulation, casting, welding, stamping, and other computational engineering domains.

Working in a collaborative international environment, you will partner closely with software engineers, computational scientists, and domain experts across multiple locations. The team values strong technical ownership, algorithmic thinking, software quality, and continuous innovation.

About The Role

We are looking for an experienced Meshing Algorithm Engineer with strong expertise in 2D and 3D mesh generation algorithms and high-performance C++ software development.

In this role, you will contribute to the design, enhancement, and optimization of advanced meshing technologies used in engineering simulation workflows. You will work on sophisticated geometry-processing and mesh-generation challenges, helping improve mesh quality, robustness, scalability, and automation capabilities.

This role is ideal for engineers passionate about computational geometry, CAE software, simulation technologies, and complex algorithm development.

Responsibilities

• Develop and optimize advanced algorithms for:
• 2D surface meshing (triangular and quad-dominant meshes)
• 3D volume meshing (hexa-dominant, tetrahedral, and hybrid meshes)
• Mesh refinement, coarsening, smoothing, morphing, and offsetting
• Enhance and maintain a large-scale C/C++ meshing codebase with focus on performance, scalability, and robustness
• Design meshing workflows and strategies for simulation-driven engineering applications
• Improve CAD-to-mesh conversion processes, geometry cleanup, and mesh adaptation techniques
• Analyze and resolve complex meshing quality and topology challenges
• Collaborate with global engineering teams on software design, debugging, validation, and testing
• Drive features end-to-end from concept and implementation through testing and delivery
• Contribute to software quality, coding standards, and automated testing practices
