CAD Software Development
· Work directly with the Product Owner to refine requirements and clarify technical feasibility. Explain design options, constraints and trade-offs in accessible terms.
· Propose and evaluate design options using approved architecture and standard design patterns.
· Develop functionality related to geometric modeling, B-Rep and topology operations, assemblies, drafting, data exchange, mold and die workflows, model repair, automation or CAD APIs, depending on assignment.
· Analyze the effect of changes on immediate dependencies, persistent documents and backward compatibility.
· Improve code structure and maintainability as part of feature delivery.
End-to-end feature delivery
· Independently analyze, design, implement, test and maintain small-to-medium CAD features.
· Break product requirements into technical tasks, dependencies, and testable increments.
· Estimate development effort and communicate delivery risks proactively.
· Own feature delivery from design discussion through implementation, QA support, release and initial stabilization.
· Coordinate changes with developers responsible for adjacent components.
· Investigate and resolve difficult defects within the assigned component.
· Support QA in test design, defect investigation, and release stabilization.
· Support customer or field-reported issue analysis when the issue relates to the owned functional area.
Quality, performance and maintainability
· Define appropriate unit, component and integration test coverage for own features.
· Apply test-first or automated testing approaches where practical.
· Use debugging, profiling, and problem-isolation tools to address stability and performance issues.
· Take responsibility for coding quality, memory behavior, maintainability, and technical documentation.
· Participate substantively in code reviews and challenge solutions constructively.
· Conduct root-cause analysis for recurring defects within the assigned area.
· Partner with QA to clarify acceptance criteria and improve testability.
Continuous improvement
· Identify improvements to development tools, coding practices, test automation, and team workflows.
· Contribute reusable technical documentation and troubleshooting knowledge.
· Evaluate appropriate AI-enabled development or automation approaches for own area.
· Share CAD domain knowledge through demonstrations, code walkthroughs, or technical sessions.
Key deliverables and KPIs:
· Deliver CAD features independently and predictably
· Reduce recurring or developer-attributable defects in the assigned functional area against the agreed baseline.
· Complete root-cause analysis and preventive action for significant defects in own area.
· Resolve assigned technical investigations without escalation.
· Facilitate at least two relevant knowledge-sharing activities during the review period.
· Demonstrate measurable adoption of an agreed engineering improvement, automation or AI-assisted practice.
