• Collaborate with UI/UX engineers to develop intuitive user interfaces leveraging IFWE Compass and 3
  
  DEXPERIENCE front-end components.
• Drive code quality through reviews, unit testing, and use of Dassault’s mkscc C++ source checker.
• Liaise with Dassault’s ISV / Partner technical teams to maintain compliance with their integration and certification requirements.
• Mentor and guide junior CAA developers and ensure adherence to best practices.

• Strong C++ development background (5+ years, preferably in industrial or CAD/PLM environments).
• Familiarity with CATIA, ENOVIA, and VPM data models.
• In-depth understanding of object modelling, interface/implementation design patterns, and COM (Component Object Model).
