Computational geometry Engineer (3D Mesh Generation)-On Contract

***Note : Please note that this is a contract-to-hire role with an initial 6-month term. Following this period, you may be considered for a permanent position based at our Pune office. If you prefer to remain remote, you would continue in your capacity as a contractor.

Role: Computational geometry Engineer (3D visualization)

Experience: Mid-Senior Level (2-5 years)

We are looking for a specialized Software Engineer to lead the development of a sophisticated 3D mesh generation system for structural engineering applications. This role focuses on concrete reinforcement (rebar) visualization, requiring a unique blend of advanced Python programming, 3D mathematics and 3D visualization. You will bridge the gap between abstract 3D mathematics and physical construction standards, translating complex reinforcement schedules into high-performance, parametric geometric models.

Key Responsibilities

• 3D Geometry Architecture: Design and implement sophisticated parametric 3D geometry creation algorithms for structural engineering and rebar visualization.
• API Design: Create clean, well-documented functions and APIs for complex geometric and coordinate transformation operations.
• Engineering Interpretation: Interpret structural drawings and reinforcement schedules to ensure digital models meet construction industry standards.
• Ownership: Take end-to-end responsibility for the geometric codebase—from mathematical design and coding to visualization and testing.

Technical Requirements

1. Programming & Mathematics (High Priority)

• Python Expertise: Advanced proficiency in Python, specifically for scientific computing using NumPy, SciPy, and Matplotlib.
• 3D Mathematics: Mastery of 3D geometry, Trigonometry, vector math, coordinate transformations, linear algebra, and spatial thinking.
• Computational Geometry: Proven experience with mesh creation algorithms and 3D modeling concepts like boolean CAD operations.

2. Engineering Domain Knowledge (Ability to Learn)

• While prior experience in structural engineering is not a prerequisite, the successful candidate must demonstrate a strong interest and the cognitive agility to master the following concepts:

1. Structural Fundamentals: Ability to quickly grasp the principles of concrete reinforcement, rebar detailing, and how digital models translate to physical construction.
2. Standards & Specifications: Openness to learning and applying specific building codes, such as the Australian Standard for Concrete Structures (AS3600).
3. Rebar Geometry: Capacity to understand and mathematically represent specialized reinforcement components

3. Visualization & Software

• 3D Libraries: Hands-on experience with PyVista/CadQuery or similar libraries for 3D visualization and familiarity with industry-standard 3D file formats like STL.

4. The Ideal Candidate Profile

• Precision Mindset: You treat a 0.001mm geometric deviation as a critical bug.
• Algorithmic Problem-Solver: You enjoy debugging "impossible" edge cases in 3D space.
• Clear Communicator: You can explain a complex transformation matrix to a non-math stakeholder.
• Documentarian: You believe that clean code and clear technical documentation are inseparable.

Educational Background & Portfolio

• Minimum Requirements: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field with a strong mathematics background.
• Portfolio: Candidates should provide examples of 3D modeling projects, parametric design systems, or computational geometry work developed in Python
