Job Summary

Build systems that convert native and proprietary CAD formats into Zoo’s KCL. You’ll design import pipelines, extract feature information (sketches, dimensions, constraints, PMI, metadata, assemblies), translate structure and geometry into KCL, and handle edge cases across vendor SDKs and file versions. Partner with file format, modeling, and product teams to improve CAD import quality using Rust or C++ and automated validation tools.
