Technical Expert, Division Production Software

As a member of the Post Processor team in Hexagon\’s Production Software division, you will work closely with global engineering, product and customer-facing teams to deliver and maintain post processor applications for our Radan sheet metal CAD/CAM solutions. Your work will directly impact our ability to drive customers\’ machines and support ongoing sales.

Responsibilities

• Taking technical ownership for the development, enhancement and maintenance of post processor applications that convert Radan output into machine-specific instructions for sheet metal machinery
• Analysing customer and sales requests for new or modified machine support, evaluating feasibility and defining clear technical specifications and setup data
• Implementing and testing post processors and related configuration files, ensuring correct behaviour across a wide range of machine types and control systems
• Collaborating with internal stakeholders, including Product Management, Core Development, Support and regional teams, to prioritise work and align technical solutions with customer needs
• Acting as a technical expert and mentor for other engineers in the team, providing guidance on machine behaviour, post architecture and best practices
• Supporting complex customer cases and escalations in close cooperation with local regions, occasionally on‑site at customer facilities to diagnose issues directly on the machine
• Contributing to and maintaining technical documentation, templates and standards for post development and machine setup
• Providing technical input for internal and external training on post processors and machine behaviour in English; other languages are a plus

Qualifications

• Degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, an IT-related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Solid hands‑on software development experience (commercial), ideally 2+ years, with an interest in more engineering‑focused rather than pure \”hardcore\” software development roles
• Experience with CAD/CAM, CNC, or similar manufacturing / machine-control software (sheet metal domain experience is a strong plus)
• Good understanding of basic maths and geometry as applied to programming (e.g. simple calculations for areas, dimensions, coordinates)
• Background in working with industrial machines, machine tools or shop‑floor environments, or strong motivation to learn how such machines operate in detail
• Ability to translate customer and machine requirements into clear, maintainable technical solutions
• Enjoys independent thinking, analytical problem solving and dealing with technically complex, niche topics
• Strong communication skills and willingness to work closely with global customers, sales and internal technical teams
• Interest in mentoring and supporting other engineers, with the potential to grow into a line management role over time
• Fluent in English (written and spoken); additional European languages are a plus
• Willingness to travel occasionally (a few times per year) to customer sites, including internationally, when needed for complex machine cases
• Valid right to work the UK (or another applicable European country, if hired there)
