At Layup Parts, we're developing the technology that will build the future.
We're a manufacturing technology company replacing months of lead time with days, using proprietary software, automation, and advanced manufacturing systems built for speed. Our customers are inventing what's next, in aerospace, defense, robotics, and beyond. To keep up with them, manufacturing has to change. That's what we're building.
We're looking for an Engineering Manager, Manufacturing Software (CAD/CAM & Geometry) to lead the team building the software tools that turn complex manufacturing engineering problems into scalable, automated workflows.
This role sits at the intersection of software, manufacturing, and mechanical engineering. You'll work closely with our manufacturing engineers to understand how composite parts and tooling are designed and built, then lead a team of software engineers developing the tools that make those processes faster, more reliable, and more automated.
The ideal person for this role comes from a manufacturing or mechanical engineering background and has strong programming experience, including experience working with computational geometry, CAD/CAM, or geometric modeling. You don't need to be the deepest algorithm expert on the team, but you should be technical enough to guide engineering decisions, understand the geometry problems we're solving, and help translate real-world manufacturing challenges into effective software solutions.
Lead and develop the computational geometry software team, setting technical priorities and providing day-to-day direction and mentorship.
- ```
Partner closely with manufacturing and mechanical engineers to understand production challenges and translate them into software requirements and development priorities.
Guide the development of software that analyzes, manipulates, and generates complex 3D geometry for composite parts and tooling.
- ```
Lead the development of internal engineering tools that improve the speed, quality, and scalability of manufacturing workflows.
Help automate workflows across CAD/CAM, tooling, machining, and other manufacturing processes.
- ```
Make technical and product tradeoffs based on both software considerations and the realities of manufacturing.
Stay close enough to the code and architecture to provide technical guidance, review approaches, and contribute directly when needed.
- ```
Help shape the team's technical architecture, development practices, and roadmap as Layup's manufacturing platform grows.
Recruit, mentor, and grow the team over time.
### What We're Looking For
- ```
Professional experience in software engineering, manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering, or a closely related field, with a strong understanding of how physical parts move from design into production.
Strong software programming fundamentals to effectively lead a software engineering team.
- ```
Experience leading engineers, technical projects, and/or cross-functional engineering initiatives.
Experience with computational geometry, CAD/CAM systems, geometric modeling, or software involving 3D part geometry.
- ```
Ability to translate ambiguous manufacturing problems into clear technical requirements and software solutions.
Ability to work effectively across software, manufacturing, mechanical engineering, and operations teams.
- ```
Comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment where both the product and manufacturing processes are continuously evolving.
Experience programming in Rust, C++, Go, Python, or similar languages.
- ```
Experience with composites, CNC machining, tooling, additive manufacturing, or other advanced manufacturing processes.
Experience developing software or automation tools used directly by manufacturing or mechanical engineers.
- ```
Hands-on experience with CAD/CAM platforms, geometric kernels, mesh processing, solid modeling, or related 3D engineering tools.
Experience taking engineering or manufacturing workflows that rely heavily on manual engineering judgment and turning them into repeatable software-driven processes.
- ```
Experience leading or managing software engineers in a technical environment.
Startup or small-team experience in fast-moving environments.
$170,000 - $220,000 a year
Final compensation is based on your experience, skills, and what you bring to the table.
- ```
Full Benefits Package: Medical, dental, and vision coverage, short- and long-term disability insurance, company-paid life insurance
Equity Option Grants
- ```

**Equal Opportunity **
Layup is an equal-opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will be treated with respect and receive equal consideration for employment without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, uniform service, Veteran status, age, or any other protected characteristic per federal, state, or local law, including those with a criminal history, in a manner consistent with the requirements of applicable state and local laws, including the CA Fair Chance Initiative for Hiring Ordinance.
**ITAR Requirements **
To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State. Learn more about the ITAR here.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
