Software Engineer - Application Development
Role & Responsibilities:
Exa Corporation is seeking experienced software engineers with strong C++ skills to lead or assist in the development of a variety of new interactive engineering tools which run on multiple platforms. Ranging in function from geometry and mesh manipulation, to numerical analysis of CFD data, to interactive report generation, these tools will be substantial additions to a product suite that is already widely used by automotive engineers.
As a software engineer, your primary responsibility will be the design and implementation of new product features as well as the maintenance of existing functionality.

Our group is creating highly innovative products for an established customer base. Our work environment is informal, collaborative, and supportive of individual growth in talent and leadership. If you are an ambitious team player with keen technical skills and a desire to continue learning new technologies while working in a fast-paced environment, this may be the place for you.
