NOW HIRING: Software Engineer III - Localization


Company: CNC Software, Inc
Website: https://www.mastercam.com
Headquarters: Tolland, Connecticut, United States


At CNC Software, Inc., our mission is to create software and services that solve the world’s manufacturing challenges. Our software, Mastercam, developed and supported by our talented team, is the most widely used CAM software in the world. Headquartered in Tolland, CT, we are a culture that embraces remote work, with twenty-five percent of our team working from their home office in United States as well as in offices in Switzerland and China. As the industry leader, we strive to innovate, and we partner with our resellers and customers to make the impossible, well, possible.

As a privately held, family-owned business, our culture is shaped by our concern and care for each other and our community. Our work environment reflects this care, with exceptional benefits and services you would expect of an industry leader [on-site fitness center, walking paths, employee gardens, bicycle shop, kitchen facilities] which are supported by geothermal heating/cooling and solar arrays which power the majority of our utility consumption. As a Greater Hartford Top Workplace, our focus has always been on creating a workplace that embodies the family-friendly values we hold, and which, well, doesn’t feel like “work”, but more like a place that you want to be. If you have a passion for your work, an inquisitive nature, and a pride in exceeding the expectations others have set for you – then CNC may just be the place you have been looking for.


Position Overview:

CNC Software is looking for a Software Engineer to join our localization team. This team is responsible for setting and enforcing localization best practices, along with creating, testing, analyzing, and documenting localized versions of our products.

To succeed in this role, you will need to have a strong understanding of software engineering best practices, including design patterns and the SOLID and DRY principles. You will be very familiar with the tools and techniques used to localize Windows desktop software. You will need to be comfortable diving into a large, legacy codebase and making changes to streamline and improve the localizability of the product. You’ll have a strong sense on how to automate manual processes and have a proven ability to connect disparate sources of data to create a whole picture.

  • You have a proven track record of automating manual processes
  • You are comfortable with automated testing frameworks
  • You are familiar with standard software development practices such as source control, peer reviews, and unit testing
  • You can clearly communicate with both technical and non-technical coworkers
  • You have a bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent experience

It’s a plus if:
  • You’ve worked in an Agile (Scrum, Kanban) software development environment before
  • You have previous experience with localization software such as Passolo, Catalyst, or Visual Localize
  • You have experience in CAD/CAM and/or the manufacturing industry
