senior python developer (3D Visualization & Geometry)

About the Role:

We are looking for a

Senior Python Developer

who lives at the intersection of code and 3D mathematics. You will lead the development of a custom geometric engine capable of generating complex 3D meshes for large-scale engineering projects.

If you enjoy solving problems involving

coordinate transformations, linear algebra, and mesh topology , this role offers the chance to see your algorithms translated into real-world, physical structures.

This role focuses on concrete reinforcement (rebar) visualization, requiring a unique blend of advanced Python programming, 3D mathematics, and structural engineering domain expertise. You will be responsible for translating complex engineering requirements and Australian building standards into high-performance geometric models.

Key Responsibilities Mesh Generation Architecture:

Design and implement sophisticated 3D mesh generation algorithms for structural engineering and rebar visualization. Parametric Modeling:

Build parametric design systems to create geometric models from complex engineering parameters. Mesh Optimization:

Develop workflows for mesh quality control and efficient STL file exports. API Design:

Create clean, well-documented functions and APIs for complex geometric and coordinate transformation operations. Engineering Interpretation:

Interpret structural drawings and reinforcement schedules to ensure digital models meet construction industry standards. Ownership:

Take end-to-end responsibility for the geometric codebase—from mathematical design and coding to visualization and testing.

Technical Requirements 1. Programming & Mathematics (High Priority) Python Expertise:

Advanced proficiency in Python, specifically for scientific computing using

NumPy ,

SciPy , and

Matplotlib . 3D Mathematics:

Mastery of 3D geometry, linear algebra, vector math, and coordinate transformations. Computational Geometry:

Proven experience with mesh creation algorithms and 3D modeling concepts. 2. Engineering Domain Knowledge (Ability to Learn) While prior experience in structural engineering is not a prerequisite, the successful candidate must demonstrate a strong interest and the cognitive agility to master the following concepts: Structural Fundamentals: Ability to quickly grasp the principles of concrete reinforcement, rebar detailing, and how digital models translate to physical construction. Standards & Specifications: Openness to learning and applying specific building codes, such as the Australian Standard for Concrete Structures (AS3600). Rebar Geometry: Capacity to understand and mathematically represent specialized reinforcement components

3. Visualization & Software

3D Libraries:

Hands-on experience with

PyVista

or similar libraries for 3D visualization and familiarity with industry-standard 3D file formats like STL.

Soft Skills & Expectations

Attention to Detail:

Critical mindset for ensuring engineering accuracy and precision in geometric calculations. Problem-Solving:

Strong ability to debug complex geometric calculations and optimize mathematical workflows. Collaboration:

Excellent communication skills to work effectively with engineering teams and understand technical requirements. Documentation:

Commitment to writing clear technical documentation and maintaining high-quality code comments. Educational Background & Portfolio

Minimum Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, or a related field with a strong mathematics background. Preferred:

Master’s degree in Computer Science; Portfolio:

Candidates should provide examples of 3D modeling projects, parametric design systems, or computational geometry work developed in Python
