The role

We are looking for an experienced Meshing Algorithm Engineer with strong expertise in 2D and 3D mesh generation algorithms and high-performance C++ software development.

In this role, you will contribute to the design, enhancement, and optimization of advanced meshing technologies used in engineering simulation workflows. You will work on sophisticated geometry-processing and mesh-generation challenges, helping improve mesh quality, robustness, scalability, and automation capabilities.

This role is ideal for engineers passionate about computational geometry, CAE software, simulation technologies, and complex algorithm development.

What you'll do

Develop and optimize advanced algorithms for:
- 2D surface meshing (triangular and quad-dominant meshes)
- 3D volume meshing (hexa-dominant, tetrahedral, and hybrid meshes)
- Mesh refinement, coarsening, smoothing, morphing, and offsetting
Enhance and maintain a large-scale C/C++ meshing codebase with focus on performance, scalability, and robustness
Design meshing workflows and strategies for simulation-driven engineering applications
Improve CAD-to-mesh conversion processes, geometry cleanup, and mesh adaptation techniques
Analyze and resolve complex meshing quality and topology challenges
Collaborate with global engineering teams on software design, debugging, validation, and testing
Drive features end-to-end from concept and implementation through testing and delivery
Contribute to software quality, coding standards, and automated testing practices
