• Familiarity with CAD and 3D file formats (STEP, STL, GLTF, USD)
• A history of building interactive tools, not just content sites (e.g. editors, simulation tools, internal tooling)
• Strong product sense and ability to translate user needs into clean UI/UX
• Enjoys wearing many hats and working across product + engineering

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building 3D modeling, CAD, simulation, or game engine tools
• Experience with synthetic data generation or computer vision workflows
• Knowledge of shader development, camera rigs, viewport UX patterns
• Previous startup or founding engineer experience
• Interest in manufacturing / industrial automation domains

What We Offer

• Competitive salary & meaningful equity– shape the company and share in its success
• Comprehensive benefits– health, dental, and vision insurance
• Professional development budget– attend conferences, take courses, grow your skills
• A chance to build something real– work with a great team of roboticists, helping expand tooling for manufacturing.
