Quadratic 3D, Inc.
Senior Software Engineer
Quadratic 3D, Inc., Charlestown, Massachusetts, us, 02129
We are seeking a senior software engineer for a key role: architecture and implementation across the software pipeline for next-generation 3D printers in a fast-paced multidisciplinary environment. Successful candidates will be passionate about software system design and implementation, 3D printing, building machines, and working on complex problems that involve advanced materials, optics, and systems. Good news: it’s serious fun!Responsibilities
Propose, implement, test, and tune the printer software stack, for a volumetric 3D printer, whose aspects will be situated in a host PC and printer embedded software as appropriate. This will span:
critically, designing a next-generation software architecture that encompasses the pipeline from part file input and parameter setting, to control of light modulation and various mechanical components, such as motion stages.file import and parsing (e.g., STL)ideation and implementation of 3D object manipulation and slice computation for high quality printsdata transmission to electro-optical subsystems for light modulation and switching, and motion control
The role may also include:
utilization of the company’s existing printer software in the standing-up of a next-generation printerthe development of a thin User Interface and front-end software to provide capabilities enabled by the next-gen printer
Participating in brainstorming sessions with a cross-disciplinary team in optics, mechanics, electronics, materials science, photochemistry, and product marketingDeveloping documentation within and for your work productCompliance with EH&S requirements and promote safety in the work environmentMinimum Qualifications
BS/MS in Computer Science, or academic or professional experience embodying equivalent knowledge5 years’ experience designing and developing software in a professional settingAble to write with C/C++ (for low-level systems and embedded programming)Able to write in C# and/or Python for application development3D object manipulation and slicingImage processingAble to write, test, and debug low-level code for microcontrollers; and the associated ability to use documentation for offboard systems having embedded software and interface control specifications, e.g. light modulators, electro-mechanic controllersExcellent communication and organizational skillsAbility to work independently as well as part of teamGreat documentation, experimental design, and result recording skillsPreferred Qualifications
10+ years’ experience with software developmentComfort with full stack software development in the context of a hardware/software product, from the user interface to file import, slicing, parameter setting, and low-level interfaces to synchronized electro-optics and electro-mechanics.Track record in developing algorithmic techniques in the context of image or rendering quality improvements, e.g., slicers for 3D printersExperience with common 3D object and 2D surface file typesExperience using or implementing laboratory software for controlling stages, lasers, sensors, cameras, etc.Experience managing one or more software engineersKnowledge of best practices for industrial software development, including verification and validationBenefits
We offer competitive compensation packages in our VC-backed startupBenefits include a full suite of offerings covering medical, dental, vision and 401k plan.Beautiful setting looking out over a river and seaport; outdoor seating and picnic areas.Highly collaborative work environment.Additional Information
