About the Role 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. What We’re Looking For 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.
