What is a freelance computational neuroscience software engineer?

A Freelance Computational Neuroscience Software Engineer is a professional who designs and develops software tools, models, and simulations to study the brain and nervous system, working independently or on a contract basis. They often collaborate with neuroscientists to create and analyze computational models of neural processes, develop data analysis pipelines, or build custom software for research projects. This role requires strong programming skills, knowledge of neuroscience concepts, and the ability to work across interdisciplinary teams. Freelancers in this field may work with universities, research labs, or biotech companies on a project-by-project basis.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a freelance computational neuroscience software engineer?

To thrive as a Freelance Computational Neuroscience Software Engineer, you need a strong background in neuroscience, programming (Python, MATLAB), and quantitative analysis, often supported by an advanced degree in a relevant field. Familiarity with neural modeling tools (e.g., NEURON, Brian), data analysis platforms, and version control systems like Git is typically required. Excellent problem-solving, self-management, and communication skills help you collaborate effectively with clients and research teams. These skills enable you to deliver accurate, innovative solutions to complex scientific problems while efficiently managing projects independently.

How do freelance computational neuroscience software engineers typically collaborate with research teams and manage project communication?

Freelance computational neuroscience software engineers often work remotely and collaborate closely with interdisciplinary research teams, including neuroscientists, data analysts, and other engineers. Effective communication is typically maintained through regular video meetings, project management tools, and version control platforms like GitHub. Clear documentation and proactive status updates are crucial for aligning expectations and progress. Additionally, freelancers may need to quickly adapt to new scientific domains and software requirements, so being responsive and flexible with team feedback is highly valued.

Job description

At Layup Parts, we're developing the technology that will build the future. 

We're a manufacturing technology company replacing months of lead time with days, using proprietary software, automation, and advanced manufacturing systems built for speed. Our customers are inventing what's next, in aerospace, defense, robotics, and beyond. To keep up with them, manufacturing has to change. That's what we're building. 

We are looking for exceptional Software Engineers with deep interest or experience in computational geometry, CAD/CAM systems, and geometric algorithms. In this role, you'll work directly with our CTO and software team to develop the geometric engine that powers our manufacturing platform. You'll build systems that analyze customer CAD models, automate manufacturability assessments, generate tooling and production geometry, and help bridge the gap between digital design and physical manufacturing. 

This is a rare opportunity to work on challenging geometry problems while seeing your software directly impact real aerospace hardware production. As an early-stage company, we value engineers who thrive in ambiguity, take ownership, and enjoy building systems from the ground up. 

What You'll Work On:

  • Build software that analyzes, manipulates, and generates complex 3D geometry 

  • Develop algorithms that evaluate manufacturability of composite parts and tooling 

  • Build interfaces to program machining equipment to automate workflows 

  • Develop internal engineering tools that improve speed, quality, and scalability across the factory 

  • Collaborate closely with manufacturing, operations, and software teams to translate real-world production challenges into software solutions 

  • Help shape technical architecture and mentor other engineers as the team grows 

What we're looking for:

  • Be awesome! Be the kind of person others want to work with. 

  • Experience with Rust, C++, Go, or other performance-oriented languages 

  • Experience working with computational geometry, CAD/CAM systems, graphics, or geometric modeling 

  • Experience with mesh processing, solid modeling, or geometric kernels 

  • Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking skills 

  • Experience building production-quality software systems 

  • Ability to quickly learn and navigate complex technical domains 

  • Ability to independently drive projects from concept through implementation 

Preferred:
  • Familiarity with manufacturing processes, CNC machining, tooling, or automation systems 

  • Experience developing algorithms for geometric analysis, optimization, or manufacturability 

  • Startup or small-team experience in fast-moving environments 

  • Strong foundation in mathematics, physics, computer graphics, robotics, or related fields 

$130,000 - $170,000 a year

Final compensation is based on your experience, skills, and what you bring to the table. 

  • Full Benefits Package: Medical, dental, and vision coverage, short- and long-term disability insurance, company-paid life insurance 
  • Equity Option Grants
  • 401k plan
  • Paid Time Off:  Unlimited PTO + 9 Federal Holidays
Equal Opportunity 
Layup is an equal-opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will be treated with respect and receive equal consideration for employment without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, uniform service, Veteran status, age, or any other protected characteristic per federal, state, or local law, including those with a criminal history, in a manner consistent with the requirements of applicable state and local laws, including the CA Fair Chance Initiative for Hiring Ordinance. 
 
ITAR Requirements 
To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State. Learn more about the ITAR here. 
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
