You look at a 3D surface or a volume mesh and see the data structures, the edge cases, the numerical precision traps that will bite someone six months from now if you do not catch them now. C++ is your language of choice for performance-critical work, and you are comfortable navigating large codebases where a single function might touch five subsystems. You ask the right questions, sketch out the approach, and start building.

Whether you have built meshers before or worked adjacent to them in CAD, graphics, or simulation, you understand that robust geometry processing is what makes the downstream analysis tools actually work. Design, develop, and maintain meshing and computational geometry algorithms in C++ for production simulation and analysis products Build and optimize geometric data structures, surface and volume mesh generators, and geometric processing pipelines Debug complex geometry-related issues across large codebases, diagnosing problems in mesh quality, numerical robustness, and algorithm correctness Translate mathematical and geometric concepts into efficient, maintainable, production-quality software Collaborate with R&D; engineers across simulation, CAD, and analysis teams to align meshing capabilities with evolving product needs Improve performance, scalability,



and robustness of existing meshing and geometry-processing components Contribute to architecture decisions that affect how geometric data flows through Synopsys simulation tools Your meshing algorithms will directly affect the quality and reliability of simulations used by engineers designing next-generation chips and systems Robust geometry processing you build will reduce downstream failures in analysis workflows, saving engineering teams time and frustration Performance improvements you make will enable larger, more complex models to be meshed and simulated efficiently Code you write will become part of production tools used across Synopsys' simulation and analysis product portfolio Your contributions to geometric robustness will help customers move from CAD to simulation with fewer manual interventions and cleaner workflows Algorithmic improvements you develop will strengthen Synopsys' position in the simulation and analysis market Your work will support the broader R&D; team's ability to deliver high-quality meshing technology that scales with customer needs Typically requires a Bachelor’s degree and a minimum of 5 years of related experience or an advanced degree and a minimum of 3 years of related experience. ~ Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, Mathematics, Computational Geometry, or a related technical field ~3+ years of hands‑on software development experience, or advanced degree with relevant research or project work ~ Robust proficiency in C++ for building complex,



performance‑sensitive software systems ~ Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and object‑oriented software development ~ Experience with geometric algorithms, computational geometry, CAD development, meshing, geometry processing, or closely related areas ~ Experience with meshing, mesh generation, surface/volume meshes, or 2D/3D geometric algorithms is a strong plus. Master’s or PhD with focus on computational geometry, meshing, geometric modeling, or CAD is preferred You can take a geometric problem described in a research paper or a bug report and turn it into a concrete implementation plan without needing someone to hold your hand You care about code quality and maintainability because you know someone else will need to understand and extend what you build six months from now You can explain a complex geometric tradeoff to another engineer in plain language without losing the technical nuance You are comfortable working independently on hard technical problems, but you also know when to ask for input or collaborate with the team You think about performance and scalability as part of the design process, not something you bolt on later You will join a focused small but dedicated meshing R&D; within Synopsys' simulation and analysis group, reporting to a Sr Staff Engineer.

You will be part of the group working on robust, high-performance meshing technology and geometric algorithms that underpin Synopsys simulation products. The small team size means your contributions will be visible and your technical decisions will matter. You will work closely with engineers across simulation, CAD, and analysis disciplines, contributing to production-quality C++ software that handles complex geometry-related challenges.
