• • Develop and maintain Python-based post-processors tailored to CNC/robotic AFP machines, including those with 7+ axes and redundant kinematic chains

• • Design and implement advanced strategies for controlling complex tool orientation and layup path optimization

• • Build custom tools, automation scripts, and repeatable templates to enhance workflow efficiency and reduce manual overhead

• • Design, implement, and test accurate machine simulation models for AFP systems, including auxiliary tools such as ultrasonic cutters and probes

• • Deliver in-depth training (remote and on-site) for VCP, VCS, and post-processor development

• • Use Salesforce to track support cases and customer interactions

• • Use GitLab for version control, code management, and collaboration

• • Collaborate with product and development teams to guide feature implementation and bug resolution

• • Support marketing and sales teams through trade shows, webinars, and technical presentations

• • Lead technical implementation of customer projects from start to finish, ensuring timelines and quality standards are met.

Education & Experience

• • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical field or equivalent practical experience (e.g. machining, CNC operation, technical vocational training)

• • 4-5 years of experience in manufacturing, engineering software, or technical applications environment

Required Qualifications

• • Strong Python programming skills for post-processor development

• • Prior experience in customer-facing technical support roles

• • Proven experience with Vericut Composites Programming and Simulation

• • Familiarity with computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software such as CATIA, Siemens NX, Solidworks, Rhino, etc.

• • Experience developing post-processors for multi-axis machines (7+ axes)

• • Deep understanding of machine kinematics and tool orientation logic

• • Excellent communication and project management skills

• • Experience working with Fanuc, Siemens, and/or robotic control systems

• • Motivated self-starter

• • Ability to travel up to 20% (including international)

Preferred Qualifications

• • Familiarity with Salesforce
  • Experience building tools and automation to improve technical workflows
  • Exposure to robot programming languages (RAPID, KRL, etc.)
  • Experience developing and maintaining regression test cases to validate post-processor output and ensure software changes do not introduce errors
  • Familiarity with version-controlled workflows (e.g., GitLab) to manage post-processor updates, track changes, and maintain reproducibility of results
