Role Description

Dandy is looking for a Senior Algorithms Engineer to serve as the multiplying factor in our manufacturing strategy. You will define the strategy for automating complex, high-dexterity tasks that currently require highly skilled technicians. This role is about 0 to 1 development of novel toolpath and robotic control mechanisms as well as yield boosting optimizations to existing toolpath infra. You will bridge the gap between digital design and physical production, driving a multi-modal (additive + subtractive) workflow that is a top priority for our company’s growth. You’ll be working on the most interesting manufacturing problems in the industry in a high-visibility role where you will be the architect of our competitive edge.

What You’ll Do

• Define the Strategy: Lead the development of toolpath algorithms that serve as the core engine for Dandy’s next-generation dental lab automation.
• Multi-Modal Manufacturing: Build workflows for hybrid production—eg, 3D printing and injection molding, or 3D printing parts and then polishing or milling them back with high precision.
• Robotic Control: Develop novel robotic control mechanisms (6DoF) to automate high-dexterity tasks like polishing and finishing metal and acrylic partials.
• Bridging Software & Hardware: Research and implement toolpath simulation and collision avoidance algorithms to ensure "right-first-time" manufacturing.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner across engineering and operations to transition theoretical robotics into production-ready deployments.
• Problem Solving: Solve the critical, high-impact manufacturing problems that are currently the bottleneck for global scaling.

Qualifications

• Software Engineer / CS Background: You are a software engineer first, with the ability to write production-grade, high-performance C++, python or other language.
• Toolpath & CNC Expertise: Deep, hands-on experience with 5-axis CNC or 6DoF robotic integration. You’ve moved beyond theory and have seen your code move machines in the real world.
• Computational Geometry: Proficiency in fundamental 3D concepts, mesh processing, and algorithms (WASM, WebGPU, or C++ libraries like CGAL/Open CASCADE).
• Simulation Mastery: Experience in toolpath simulation, kinematics, and robotic path planning.
• Problem Solver: A "0 to 1" mindset. You thrive in startup environments and enjoy defining the roadmap rather than just following one.
• Strong Communicator: Ability to explain technical risks and trade-offs to stakeholders while executing on a high-level business strategy.

Our Technology

• Languages: C++, TypeScript
• Graphics/Compute: Three.js, WebGL, WebGPU, WGSL
• Platform: WASM / Emscripten, React
• Robotics: ROS, custom 6DoF control stacks, or proprietary toolpath engines.

Bonus Points For

• Startup Experience: You’ve built and scaled systems in a fast-paced environment.
• Multi-Modal Experience: Familiarity with both additive (SLA/DLP) and subtractive (Milling/Grinding) processes.
• Dental or Medical Tech: Experience with digital prosthetic design or medical device manufacturing.
• Compliance and Regulatory: Experience with testing paradigms, documentation, compliance concepts common in regulated device manufacturing.
• GPU Optimization: Deep knowledge of HLSL, GLSL, or CUDA for parallelizing geometry processing.

Benefits

• Healthcare
• Dental
• Mental health support
• Parental planning resources
• Retirement savings options
• Generous paid time off
