Description

You love geometry, maths and code that runs close to the machine. Invent the CAD and toolpath systems behind next-generation hardware.


A young Toronto company combines manufacturing with software: it writes its own CAD and geometry tools and makes advanced parts for leading tech companies, including projects in aerospace, robotics and medical devices. Your first project: automatically matching and validating 3D CAD models against 2D drawings, a job someone still does by hand today. Next on the list: a geometry kernel of its own, a CAD environment built in-house, and the engine that plans CNC tool paths.


What you'll own



  • A core subsystem, end to end, until you know it better than anyone

  • Automated matching and validation of 3D models against 2D drawings

  • Foundational systems built from first principles, not libraries glued together

  • A small team covering software, firmware and mechanical engineering


Must-haves



  • Strong maths and computational-geometry fundamentals

  • You understand what happens close to the hardware (experience limited to web apps, without a strong maths base, won't fit)

  • You like problems with no set stack and no detailed specification

  • 2+ years of experience; technical depth matters more than pedigree, and no PhD is needed

  • Working from the Toronto office five days a week, 9-9-5, commuting daily (no remote or hybrid)

  • Already allowed to work in Canada; sponsorship isn't available


Bonus points



  • Production code for geometry, CAD/CAM, graphics or tool paths

  • A background in GPUs, chips, embedded systems, firmware or self-driving vehicles

  • Results in maths olympiads, or research in geometry, graphics or robotics


What's in it for you



  • $250k–$300k USD base + 0.1–1% equity

  • Deep technical problems with real parts and real customers

  • Full ownership of a subsystem in a small, ambitious team


Good to know



  • Full-time, on-site in Toronto, 9-9-5

  • Process: half-hour call with both founders → one-hour technical interview → a take-home assignment only if needed → up to a week of paid work at the office with the team → offer
