About the role
Layup Parts's standard text
At Layup Parts, we're developing the technology that will build the future.
We're a manufacturing technology company replacing months of lead time with days, using proprietary software, automation, and advanced manufacturing systems built for speed. Our customers are inventing what's next, in aerospace, defense, robotics, and beyond. To keep up with them, manufacturing has to change. That's what we're building.
We are looking for exceptional Software Engineers with deep interest or experience in computational geometry, CAD/CAM systems, and geometric algorithms. In this role, you'll work directly with our CTO and software team to develop the geometric engine that powers our manufacturing platform. You'll build systems that analyze customer CAD models, automate manufacturability assessments, generate tooling and production geometry, and help bridge the gap between digital design and physical manufacturing.
This is a rare opportunity to work on challenging geometry problems while seeing your software directly impact real aerospace hardware production. As an early-stage company, we value engineers who thrive in ambiguity, take ownership, and enjoy building systems from the ground up.
What You'll Work On:
- Build software that analyzes, manipulates, and generates complex 3D geometry
- Develop algorithms that evaluate manufacturability of composite parts and tooling
- Build interfaces to program machining equipment to automate workflows
- Develop internal engineering tools that improve speed, quality, and scalability across the factory
- Collaborate closely with manufacturing, operations, and software teams to translate real-world production challenges into software solutions
- Help shape technical architecture and mentor other engineers as the team grows
What We’re Looking For
- Be awesome! Be the kind of person others want to work with.
Experience with Rust, C++, Go, or other performance-oriented languages
- Experience working with computational geometry, CAD/CAM systems, graphics, or geometric modeling
- Experience with mesh processing, solid modeling, or geometric kernels
- Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking skills
- Experience building production-quality software systems
- Ability to quickly learn and navigate complex technical domains
- Ability to independently drive projects from concept through implementation
Bonus Points
- Familiarity with manufacturing processes, CNC machining, tooling, or automation systems
- Experience developing algorithms for geometric analysis, optimization, or manufacturability
- Startup or small-team experience in fast-moving environments
- Strong foundation in mathematics, physics, computer graphics, robotics, or related fields
