Role overview

Join NexusAM to build the high-performance C++ core of an AI platform for metal 3D printing. You will design systems for high-rate sensor data ingestion, integrate machine learning inference into production, and handle complex 3D geometries. Your work ensures safety-critical parts for aerospace and medical industries meet the highest quality standards.

Manufacturing

Nexus Additive Ltd accelerates the adoption of metal additive manufacturing by turning real-time sensor data into quantifiable insights, enabling process limit pushing, waste reduction, and faster production. Their platform tackles part qualification costs using AI for real-time monitoring, defect detection, digital qualification, and consistent quality, serving aerospace, medical, and energy sectors.

What you will do

  • Design and develop core C++ libraries for high-throughput sensor data ingestion and processing of multi-gigabyte build datasets.
  • Integrate ML model inference into production pipelines optimized for resource-constrained, on-premise industrial environments.
  • Build Python bindings and real-time WebSocket streaming to expose backend functionality to ML teams and end-user interfaces.

Who this is a fit for

  • 3+ years of production experience with C++ (17 or later) and deep knowledge of concurrency, memory management, and performance profiling.
  • Proficiency in Python and experience with C++/Python interoperability using frameworks like pybind11 for high-performance applications.
  • Expertise in 3D data processing, including meshes, point clouds, and spatial algorithms like ray casting or spatial indexing.

Why this role is remarkable

  • Ownership of the high-performance C++ architecture at a deep-tech startup spun out of a world-leading Imperial College research group.
  • Direct impact on mission-critical manufacturing for aerospace and medical sectors by enabling real-time, physics-informed quality assurance.
  • Strong financial backing from top deep-tech investors including Creator Fund, Empirical Ventures, and Parkwalk Advisors.
