Zoo is a company that creates infrastructure for hardware design, addressing the growing demands of design that outpace current hardware design capabilities. By laying the foundation for a modern hardware design toolkit, Zoo enables the creation of innovative design tools that have never been possible before, positioning itself at the intersection of hardware and software development.

📋 Description

• Design, implement, and maintain import pipelines that convert native and proprietary CAD formats into Zoo's KCL. • Build systems for extracting feature information from CAD files and applications, including sketches, dimensions, constraints, parameters, feature trees, assemblies, metadata, PMI, and related design intent. • Develop extractors using native CAD application APIs and toolkits where interoperability SDKs are insufficient. • Translate extracted CAD structure, geometry, parameters, and feature information into KCL that faithfully represents the original model. • Build validation, testing, and comparison tools to measure conversion quality across geometry, topology, feature information, assemblies, and generated KCL output. • Handle edge cases across proprietary formats, CAD versions, modeling kernels, malformed files, incomplete metadata, and inconsistent vendor API behavior. • Collaborate with the file format, modeling, and product teams to improve Zoo's CAD import experience and expand support for real-world customer files.

🎯 Requirements

• B.S. in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience. • Strong professional experience in software engineering, ideally involving CAD, geometry, file formats, code generation, or data extraction systems. • Experience working with complex technical data formats, application APIs, SDKs, or translation pipelines. • Proficiency in a systems programming language such as Rust or C++, with comfort working across language boundaries and vendor SDKs. • Experience building automated tests, validation tools, and debugging workflows for complex technical systems. • Ability to work autonomously, investigate unfamiliar systems, and make pragmatic technical decisions in a fast-moving environment.
