It was mostly a general comment, but I think an important one. I've been a rendering specialist for about 10 years, and I still occasionally encounter the "rendering" role that expects me to have more knowledge of some special type of hardware or something, and I end up being under-qualified for, it's just that kind of field I guess.
Also, cool looking CAD tool!

I like your cad tool - I'm interested in 2D only, but you seem to have nailed the user interaction bits for constrained movement.
I'm primarily interested in algorithms/ heuristics for wire drawings (2D ECAD). Do you have any suggestions on where to look for further information?

I could potentially see that being sensible for me though, depending on details about the job not included in the description. Graphics programming is my deepest specialty, but I am primarily a generalist.
For example, here's a video of the CAD tool I architected, built (the features shown), helped design and hire other developers for etc.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e21tqZebl60
I am actually concerned that the skill set involved there won't be easily usable to by Google scale companies though--that they'd prefer to have a few specialists for the different aspects of the project instead. So maybe this isn't such a good direction for me.
