We are seeking a Senior Algorithms Engineer to be the architectural lead for Dandy's automated manufacturing strategy. This is a high-visibility, '0 to 1' development role where you will design the toolpath and robotic control mechanisms that bridge digital dental designs with physical production. You will be responsible for automating high-dexterity tasks—such as polishing and finishing metal partials—that currently require manual intervention.

As a Software Engineer first, you will lead the development of multi-modal workflows (combining additive and subtractive manufacturing) to drive our company's global scaling efforts. You will research and implement complex 6DoF robotic control and collision avoidance algorithms to ensure 'right-first-time' production. If you are a C++ expert with deep experience in computational geometry and a desire to solve the most interesting manufacturing problems in the dental industry, Dandy offers a remote-first environment to build a lasting competitive edge.

• Architect and lead the development of next-generation toolpath algorithms for dental lab automation.
• Develop 6DoF robotic control mechanisms for automated polishing, finishing, and high-precision tasks.
• Build hybrid manufacturing workflows that integrate 3D printing (additive) with milling or polishing (subtractive).
• Research and implement 3D toolpath simulation and collision avoidance algorithms to optimize production yield.
• Utilize computational geometry and mesh processing to translate digital dental designs into physical machine movements.
• Partner across engineering and operations teams to transition theoretical robotics into production-ready deployments.
• Optimize high-performance geometry processing using C++, WASM, or GPU-based compute (WebGPU/WGSL).
• Define the strategic roadmap for manufacturing automation, identifying and resolving critical bottlenecks in global scaling.

• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience with the ability to write production-grade C++ or Python.
• Deep, hands-on expertise in 5-axis CNC or 6DoF robotic integration (ROS or custom control stacks).
• Strong proficiency in Computational Geometry, mesh processing, and 3D algorithms.
• Experience with 3D graphics and compute technologies such as Three.js, WebGL, or WebGPU.
• Proven history of designing and simulating toolpaths, kinematics, and robotic path planning.
• Experience with WASM/Emscripten for bringing high-performance C++ logic to the web or edge.
• Excellent communication skills for explaining technical risks and trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.
• Bonus: Experience in Digital Prosthetic Design or medical device manufacturing.
• Bonus: GPU optimization skills (CUDA, HLSL, or GLSL) for parallel geometry processing.
• Bonus: Familiarity with both additive (SLA/DLP) and subtractive (Milling) processes.
