What this job asks for AI summary
A software engineering role focused on building CAD automation tooling within and around Onshape, using FeatureScript and the Onshape API. Day-to-day work involves identifying repetitive manual tasks in the architectural design process, then shipping production-grade features — including automated code-compliance checks, MEP constraint integration, and a modeling MCP — that feed directly into a CAD-to-fabrication pipeline for modular housing. Best suited to a generalist software engineer with parametric CAD experience who is comfortable working close to hardware and manufacturing workflows.
