CAD/PLM Automation Software Engineer (Forward Deployed)

You are an engineer at heart who moved from mechanical/industrial engineering to PLM/CAD/CAE automation and software. You like understanding how engineering teams actually work, and finding practical ways to fix complex, manual workflows.

You are also a builder at heart. You get things working against rigid, poorly documented systems, reverse-engineering an API, scripting around a missing integration point, finding the path through when there's no official one. You write production-quality software, stay resourceful when the ground is ambiguous, and enjoy doing it side by side with customers.

• Hands-on experience automating PLM and CAD systems through their APIs.
• Experience writing software used in production or by other engineers.
• Good knowledge of simulation workflows and data exchange (FEM, CFD, or CAE automation); deeper CAE or HPC experience is a strong plus.
• Customer-oriented and motivated by on-site work. You communicate clearly with engineering teams and dig past the requested fix to identify the real problem worth solving.
• 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.
