Software Engineer – Algorithm (Python, Computational Engineering) (m/f/d)

at  Spanflug Technologies GmbH

DESCRIPTION

We are seeking a motivated Software Engineer with strong Python skills to join our Algorithm team in Munich. In this position, you will have the unique opportunity to contribute directly to our core spatial analysis and manufacturability assessment software—a powerful tool at the center of our operations. This software interprets CAD models to deliver real-time cost estimates and machining times, empowering our users to seamlessly order custom CNC-machined parts.
As a member of our core engineering team, you will work closely with production engineering experts and our web platform team, developing and refining algorithms that provide accurate manufacturability assessments and cost feedback. Operating within a GitHub-based environment, you will make regular, impactful contributions to our production code base, driving fast feedback and ongoing user experience enhancements.
