Sobre esta vaga de Software Engineer na Sandvik
About the Role
GibbsCAM is one of the most established CAM platforms in the manufacturing industry, with a history spanning more than 40 years. We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our team of engineers who take genuine pride in craft, reliability, and building software that real machinists depend on every day.
This is a strong growth opportunity for an engineer with a solid foundation in C++ and a curiosity about complex, domain-rich software. You will work alongside experienced senior engineers who are invested in mentorship and knowledge transfer, and you will have the opportunity to take on meaningful, challenging work from day one. The role suits someone who is eager to learn a specialized domain, comfortable reading and reasoning about code they did not write, and excited to grow their skills within a stable, long-lived product.
This is a fully remote opportunity for candidates authorized to work and residing in the United States.
Primary Responsibilities
Develop and maintain software features for a large-scale Windows desktop CAM application, working from specifications provided by Product Management and senior engineers.
Diagnose and resolve defects in existing code, with guidance from senior team members on complex issues spanning large or unfamiliar subsystems.
Perform repair, enhancement, and maintenance of software components, writing clean and well-tested code that meets the team’s quality standards.
Participate actively in code reviews — both as an author and a reviewer — contributing to a culture of shared ownership and continuous improvement.
Learn and apply relevant domain concepts in CAM and manufacturing as needed to contribute effectively to the product.
Maintain currency with modern C++ and software development best practices, applying them appropriately within the constraints of a mature codebase.
Contribute to technical documentation and assist in keeping internal knowledge bases current.
Consult with senior engineers and management on project status, technical questions, and implementation approaches.
Required Qualifications
3–5 years of professional software development experience in a production environment.
Solid proficiency in C and C++; exposure to modern standards (C++11/14/17) preferred.
Experience reading, debugging, and extending existing codebases — not just writing code from scratch.
Familiarity with Windows desktop application development.
Working knowledge of debugging tools and the ability to systematically isolate and resolve software defects.
Understanding of core data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented design principles.
Experience with version control in a team setting.
Solid math fundamentals and willingness to engage with technical or geometric concepts as needed by the domain.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with Win32, MFC, COM, or other Windows application frameworks.
Exposure to C# in a mixed-language (C++/managed) application context.
Any experience or academic background in CAD, CAM, CNC machining, or manufacturing.
Familiarity with 3D graphics concepts or APIs (OpenGL, DirectX, or similar).
Background or coursework in applied mathematics, linear algebra, or computational geometry.
Experience with Perforce or other enterprise version control systems.
Exposure to large-project build systems.
Education
Bachelor’s degree required, with preferred focus in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering.
Equivalent practical experience demonstrating the required technical foundation will be considered.
What to Expect
We understand that a specialized product like GibbsCAM takes time to learn. New team members work with our experienced engineers who provide direction and mentorship during onboarding, and we set realistic expectations for ramp-up time. We are more interested in hiring someone with strong fundamentals and genuine curiosity than someone who already checks every domain-specific box.
Our team values steady, high-quality work over heroics. You’ll have the opportunity to grow into greater ownership and technical leadership over time as you build familiarity with the product and codebase.
