The Senior Software Engineer will join a new team within Forge to build a hardware engineering application designed as an interactive workspace for reviewing complex physical systems. You will develop review, annotation, and revision workflows for CAD models, focusing on 3D visualization, geometry processing, and data models that capture design decisions. The role involves turning ambiguous customer problems into durable architecture, specifically addressing the intersection of graphics, geometry, and platform architecture. You will utilize TypeScript, React, and Node.js to build performance-sensitive interactive applications. Key technical requirements include experience with API design, asynchronous processing, and 3D graphics concepts like coordinate transforms and raycasting. You will work directly with mechanical engineers to process large, complex CAD files and establish patterns for domain-rich products within the Forge platform.
