The posting

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're looking for a Computational Geometry Software Lead to lead the team building the software tools that turn complex manufacturing engineering problems into scalable, automated workflows.

This role sits at the intersection of software, manufacturing, and mechanical engineering. You'll work closely with our manufacturing engineers to understand how composite parts and tooling are designed and built, then lead a team of software engineers developing the tools that make those processes faster, more reliable, and more automated.

The ideal person for this role comes from a manufacturing or mechanical engineering background and has strong programming experience, including experience working with computational geometry, CAD/CAM, or geometric modeling. You don't need to be the deepest algorithm expert on the team, but you should be technical enough to guide engineering decisions, understand the geometry problems we're solving, and help translate real-world manufacturing challenges into effective software solutions.

What You'll Work On

  • Lead and develop the computational geometry software team, setting technical priorities and providing day-to-day direction and mentorship.
  • Partner closely with manufacturing and mechanical engineers to understand production challenges and translate them into software requirements and development priorities.
  • Guide the development of software that analyzes, manipulates, and generates complex 3D geometry for composite parts and tooling.
  • Lead the development of internal engineering tools that improve the speed, quality, and scalability of manufacturing workflows.
  • Help automate workflows across CAD/CAM, tooling, machining, and other manufacturing processes.
  • Make technical and product tradeoffs based on both software considerations and the realities of manufacturing.
  • Stay close enough to the code and architecture to provide technical guidance, review approaches, and contribute directly when needed.
  • Help shape the team's technical architecture, development practices, and roadmap as Layup's manufacturing platform grows.
  • Recruit, mentor, and grow the team over time.

What We're Looking For

  • Professional experience in software engineering, manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering, or a closely related field, with a strong understanding of how physical parts move from design into production.
  • Strong software programming fundamentals to effectively lead a software engineering team.
  • Experience leading engineers, technical projects, and/or cross-functional engineering initiatives.
  • Experience with computational geometry, CAD/CAM systems, geometric modeling, or software involving 3D part geometry.
  • Ability to translate ambiguous manufacturing problems into clear technical requirements and software solutions.
  • Ability to work effectively across software, manufacturing, mechanical engineering, and operations teams.
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment where both the product and manufacturing processes are continuously evolving.

Bonus Points

  • Experience programming in Rust, C++, Go, Python, or similar languages.
  • Experience with composites, CNC machining, tooling, additive manufacturing, or other advanced manufacturing processes.
  • Experience developing software or automation tools used directly by manufacturing or mechanical engineers.
  • Hands-on experience with CAD/CAM platforms, geometric kernels, mesh processing, solid modeling, or related 3D engineering tools.
  • Experience taking engineering or manufacturing workflows that rely heavily on manual engineering judgment and turning them into repeatable software-driven processes.
  • Experience leading or managing software engineers in a technical environment.
  • Startup or small-team experience in fast-moving environments.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
