Job Description

Special-Lite, Inc. builds software that helps customers and sales teams configure, visualize, and price Special-Lite products. In this hybrid role based in Decatur, MI, you will help expand and maintain design automation that connects CPQ configurations to 2D/3D output. You will also work in an environment that supports professional growth, with tuition reimbursement/educational assistance, professional development support, and a benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, a 401(k) with company match, and paid vacation, sick time, and holidays.

For the first six months, the role focuses on developing and maintaining a custom product extension in Configura’s CET Designer (written in CM). After that, the work expands to building and maintaining design automation connecting Tacton to Autodesk Inventor.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, test, and deploy enhancements to SpecialLite’s CET Designer extension, supporting products represented in 2D and/or 3D with costing, business logic, and error prevention.
Maintain and improve the existing CET code base to support reliability, accuracy, and user satisfaction.
Develop and maintain Autodesk Inventor addins (VB.NET/C#) using the Inventor API to drive parametric 3D models and production drawings from Tacton CPQ configurations.
Build and maintain automation-ready Inventor models, rebuilding flexible or parametric components (for example, variable height frames) while reusing static components where appropriate.
Support integrations among Tacton CPQ, Autodesk Inventor, and other business systems using REST APIs and XML/JSON data exchange.
Inherit, understand, and extend code written by others, including third-party implementation partners, and produce clean, documented, maintainable code for future developers.
Collaborate with sales, engineering, and business stakeholders to gather requirements and translate them into technical solutions.
Manage source code and automation assets under version control (Git and Autodesk Vault for CAD assets) and track work in Jira as part of an Agile team.
Troubleshoot and resolve application issues, escalating when necessary.
Create documentation and assist with user training for supported applications.
Apply best practices in security, maintainability, and performance, contributing to continuous improvement in code and process.

Requirements

Experience with C#, VB.NET, C++, Java, or another object-oriented language.
Excellent grasp of object-oriented concepts and experience using them to build applications.
Willingness to learn proprietary languages and platforms, including Configura’s CM language and CET Designer.

Basic familiarity with REST APIs and XML/JSON data formats.
Passion for programming.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
Self-starter with the ability to work independently on diverse problems.
