Staff Computational Engineer, 3D CAD

Denver, Colorado

Xometry (NASDAQ: XMTR) powers the industries of today and tomorrow by connecting the people with big ideas to the manufacturers who can bring them to life. Xometry’s digital marketplace gives manufacturers the critical resources they need to grow their business while also making it easy for buyers at Fortune 1000 companies to tap into global manufacturing capacity.

Xometry is seeking a highly skilled Staff Computational Engineer with a strong background processing three-dimensional models to help create the next generation of automated design for manufacturing (DFM) tools. In this role, you will analyze three-dimensional models for manufacturing feasibility and risk by combining underlying features with real world manufacturing constraints. This role requires someone with a strong understanding of computational geometry, algorithm analysis and code design.

Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, and implement computational algorithms to solve complex engineering problems related to manufacturing processes (e.g., quoting, optimization, quality control).
  • Design, develop and deploy algorithms to extract geometric features from 2D and 3D CAD models.
  • Design, develop and deploy algorithms to detect Design for Manufacturability (DFM) issues of 2D and 3D CAD models.
  • Identify practical solutions to problems involving 2D and 3D geometry, topology, numerical analysis, manipulation of curves, surfaces and boundary representation topology.
  • Leverage machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques to improve efficiency and decision-making within the manufacturing platform.
  • Collaborate with operations and product teams to understand critical issues and develop novel solutions.
  • Collaborate with data scientists and software engineers to integrate computational solutions into Xometry's production workflows.
  • Document code and algorithms for maintainability and knowledge sharing.
  • Stay up-to-date on the latest advancements in computational engineering and related fields.

Requirements:

  • M.S. or PhD degree in applied math, physics, computer science, or engineering required.
  • 8+ years of progressive experience in applying computational methods to solve engineering problems with a proven track record of success.
  • Demonstrated experience in using CAD/CAE systems: surface modeling, solid modeling, part/assembly modeling, drafting.
  • Demonstrated experience in developing geometric modeling kernel, especially working with analytical geometry, parametric modeling,  freeform geometry (NURBS, spline surfaces, Bézier curves), topological data structures (B-Rep scheme), geometry healing and repair, high-performance data structures and algorithms.
  • Participation in the development of 3D modeling applications, like SolidEdge, SmartPlant3D, SurfaceWorks, Autodesk Inventor, Pro-Engineer, SolidWorks, ACIS is a plus.
  • Demonstrated experience with HOOPS Exchange API, PRC and DXF format and specifications.
  • Research experience in computational geometry, differential geometry, computational fabrication, computational dynamics, or related fields.
  • Proficient in linear algebra, multivariable calculus, numerical methods, differential equations and other areas of scientific computation, like floating point arithmetic and numerical error analysis.
  • Familiarity with industry-specific standards (e.g., ISO, ASME) and guidelines for CAD/CAE software.
  • Strong knowledge of manufacturing processes and materials science.
  • Fluent in C++ (C++11/14/17), including tools like CMake, GDB, SWIG, etc.
  • Experience in Python, Cython, numpy, numba and cloud computing platforms a plus
  • Proficiency in software engineering best practices, including object-oriented design, code versioning, and testing.
  • Strong documentation skills for developing user manuals, technical reports, and internal documentation to support maintainability and reproducibility.
  • Must be a US Citizen or Green Card holder (ITAR).

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

How do you know if you have a disability?

  • Autoimmune disorder, for example, lupus, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, HIV/AIDS
  • Blind or low vision
  • Cancer (past or present)
  • Cardiovascular or heart disease
  • Celiac disease
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Deaf or serious difficulty hearing
  • Diabetes
  • Disfigurement, for example, disfigurement caused by burns, wounds, accidents, or congenital disorders

  • Intellectual or developmental disability
  • Mental health conditions, for example, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD
  • Missing limbs or partially missing limbs
  • Mobility impairment, benefiting from the use of a wheelchair, scooter, walker, leg brace(s) and/or other supports
  • Nervous system condition, for example, migraine headaches, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS)
  • Neurodivergence, for example, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, dyspraxia, other learning disabilities
  • Partial or complete paralysis (any cause)
