Build and ship production-ready features for an AI-powered compliance platform, working directly with users to shape product direction while maintaining and scaling the codebase.
CAD/CAE Automation Software Engineer (Forward Deployed)
π Description
- Understand customersβ engineering workflows, constraints, and tools, then develop practical integration plans.
- Connect NC to PLM, CAD, and simulation systems using APIs, scripts, and other automation.
- Automate engineering workflows and data exchange, including running and monitoring jobs across cloud or HPC environments.
- Build product features, tools, and reusable integration patterns based on customer experience.
- Work directly with customer engineering teams to identify underlying needs and deliver maintainable solutions.
π οΈ Requirements
- Hands-on experience building integrations and automation for engineering workflows, preferably involving PLM or CAD systems.
- Solid software engineering skills with APIs, data models, and databases; able to build reliable, maintainable software with clear design, automated tests, and code review.
- Familiarity with CATIA, 3DEXPERIENCE, or TeamCenter is a strong plus.
- Knowledge of simulation workflows and data exchange, such as FEM, CFD, or CAE automation; deeper CAE or HPC experience is a strong plus.
- Clear communication with engineering teams and enthusiasm for working on-site with customers.
β¨ Benefits
- A world-class technology team that aims for excellence.
- Competitive salary and rewarding opportunities as we scale.
- A collaborative, multicultural environment where work is visible and recognized.
- Professional growth alongside talented colleagues who share knowledge freely.

- Hybrid model (40% remote) and flexible hours.
Full job description
About the Role
You will work with our customers to bring NCβs AI into their engineering workflows, solving the strategic integration challenges across PLM, CAD, and simulation systems so they can design better products, faster. The work cuts both ways: a customer unblocked, and field experience built directly back into the product through features, tooling, and reusable integration patterns.
What you will do
Work directly with customers to understand their engineering workflows, constraints, and existing tools, translating that context into practical integration plans.
Connect NC to customer PLM, CAD, and simulation systems through APIs, scripts, and other automation mechanisms.
Automate engineering workflows and the associated data exchange, including where relevant the execution and monitoring of jobs across cloud or HPC environments.
Contribute to NCβs core product as a product engineer, turning field experience into features, tooling, and patterns that make future integrations faster.
Who you are
An engineer at heart, youβve grown from mechanical or industrial engineering into automation and software development. Understanding how engineering teams work, and building practical ways to improve their workflows, is what motivates you.
A builder and problem solver at heart, you enjoy challenges with no obvious solution. Stepping beyond familiar tools and methods, learning quickly and testing different approaches are part of the appeal. Whether exploring a poorly documented API or working around a missing integration point, you find a practical way forward. Working alongside customers, you turn those solutions into reliable tools that others can use, maintain and build on.
Hands-on experience building integrations and automation for engineering workflows preferably involving PLM or CAD systems.
Solid software engineering skills, including working with APIs, data models and databases. Able to turn scripts and prototypes into reliable, maintainable software through clear design, automated tests and code review.
Familiarity with CATIA, 3DEXPERIENCE or TeamCenter is a strong plus.
Good knowledge of simulation workflows and data exchange (FEM, CFD or CAE automation); deeper CAE or HPC experience is a strong plus.
Clear communication with engineering teams and enthusiasm for working on-site with customers, looking beyond the requested fix to understand the underlying need.
Travel: Meaningful time on-site with customers (up to a quarter of the time), the rest hybrid with flexible hours. Proximity to the customer compounds into a direct, deep impact on both their process and the product. Lausanne (preferred) or Zurich based.
What you get
A world-class technology team that aims for excellence.
Competitive salary and rewarding opportunities as we scale.
A collaborative, multicultural environment where work is visible and recognized.
Professional growth alongside talented colleagues who share knowledge freely.
Global impact, helping customers shift to AI-assisted design.
Hybrid model (40% remote) and flexible hours.
We're proud to be an equal opportunity employer, and we're committed to building a diverse and inclusive environment where you can thrive.
