CAD/PLM Automation Software Engineer (Forward Deployed)

About the Role You will work with our customers to bring NC’s AI into their engineering workflows, solving the strategic integration challenges across PLM, CAD, and simulation systems so they can design better products, faster. The work cuts both ways: a customer unblocked, and field experience built directly back into the product through features, tooling, and reusable integration patterns. What you will do Work directly with customers to understand their engineering workflows, constraints, and existing tools, translating that context into practical integration plans. Connect NC to customer PLM, CAD, and simulation systems through APIs, scripts, and other automation mechanisms. Automate engineering workflows and the associated data exchange, including where relevant the execution and monitoring of jobs across cloud or HPC environments. Contribute to NC’s core product as a product engineer, turning field experience into features, tooling, and patterns that make future integrations faster. Who you are 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 producti
