Overview:

We are looking for an experienced Qt C++ Developer to lead the transition from WorkNC CAM and Visi CAD to a modern AI-powered CAD/CAM platform. This role involves designing and developing a next-generation machining and design solution, integrating Generative AI to enhance toolpath optimization, automated modelling, and intelligent feature recognition. Be part of a cutting-edge project integrating Generative AI into CAD/CAM workflows. Work on next-generation AI-driven 3D modelling and CNC automation tools.

Role & Responsibilities:

• Migrate and modernise features from WorkNC & Visi into a new Qt-based system.
• Design and develop cross-platform desktop applications using Qt (Widgets/QML) and C++.
• Implement AI-driven toolpath generation and automated CAM optimisations.
• Develop Real Time 3D visualization tools with OpenGL/Vulkan for CAD/CAM workflows.
• Integrate Generative AI models to suggest design improvements, toolpaths, and machining parameters.
• Work with machine learning teams to enhance CNC automation and predictive maintenance.
• Ensure scalability, maintainability, and high performance of AI-enhanced CAD/CAM software.
• Debug, profile, and optimise multi-threaded C++ applications for Real Time AI inference.

Outline Thebes Group:

Thebes Group is a leading UK wide IT infrastructure technology consultancy. We are well-known for our extensive talent pool of highly competent IT professionals and exclusive Academy programmes, which provide a great opportunity to undertake technical training in core disciplines. Thebes work with a number of leading vendors, Government, financial institutions and insurance companies including investment banks, brokers and hedge funds.
