You will be part of an organization led by leaders who are deeply committed to technical excellence, Agile principles, mentorship, and building an environment where engineers do their best work. If you are looking for a role where you can grow quickly, contribute meaningfully, and be part of something that has lasting real-world impact, we want to hear from you.
IN THIS ROLE, YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES WILL
Collaborate - Contribute to a creative team atmosphere, participate in code reviews, and actively engage in Agile activities such as sprint planning and retrospectives. Take part in Hackathons, Tech Talks, and Communities of Practice with like-minded engineers.
Learn from Domain Experts - Work alongside experienced engineers, product managers, and subject matter experts in industrial automation to build your understanding of the domain and learn how real-world requirements translate into software.
Contribute to Specifications - Support the authoring and review of structured software specifications, gaining hands-on experience with spec-driven development practices and AI-assisted development workflows.
Innovate - Write software using modern tools, frameworks, and AI-enabled development practices. Learn to apply spec-driven methodologies to improve quality, reduce ambiguity, and accelerate your own delivery.
Automate - Write automated unit tests and contribute to system-level testing to support a healthy automation pipeline and a release-ready product.
Iterate - Actively participate in team retrospectives and bring ideas for how the team can improve its processes and ways of working.
Tech Savvy — Stay curious about emerging technologies, AI development tooling, and spec-driven methodologies, and look for opportunities to apply new skills to real problems.
Always Curious — Ask questions, challenge assumptions, and take time to understand the problem before diving into solutions. Treat every task as a learning opportunity.
Team Obsessed — Engage openly with your teammates, actively seek feedback, and commit to continuous improvement in both your work and your craft.
WHO YOU ARE: You enjoy solving complex technical problems and learning how software, hardware, networks, and industrial control systems work together. You are comfortable moving between low-level firmware development and higher-level workstation application software. You are naturally curious, collaborative, and committed to continuous improvement.
FOR THIS ROLE, YOU WILL NEED
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related STEM discipline plus 5+ years of experience; or Master's degree plus 3+ years of experience.
Strong knowledge of embedded software development using C and C++
Basic understanding of Linux and/or VxWorks RTOS concepts, including real-time execution, concurrency, memory management, and debugging
Strong problem-solving skills and a genuine desire to understand complex, distributed control systems
Legal authorization to work in the United States without sponsorship now and in the future
Individuals with temporary visas such as E, F-1 (including those with OPT or CPT), H-1, H-2, L-1, B, J or TN, or who need sponsorship for work authorization now or in the future, are not eligible for hire.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS THAT SET YOU APART
Experience in embedded firmware development, real-time systems, or controller/runtime software
Familiarity with PLCs, industrial automation, process control, or discrete and hybrid manufacturing environments
Exposure to real-time distributed computing, deterministic scheduling, time-critical communications, or high-reliability control systems
Familiarity with industrial Ethernet and industrial internet protocols such as EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP, OPC UA, or MQTT
Familiarity with version control systems such as Git
Exposure to automated testing, CI pipelines, hardware-in-the-loop testing, or system-level firmware validation
Experience with AI-assisted and spec-driven development workflows, including the use of structured specification languages such as OpenAPI, Protobuf, GraphQL schemas, or JSON Schema to drive code generation, validation, and AI-assisted implementation
