  • Bridge communication gaps between factory floor equipment (e.g., PLCs) and high-level MES (Manufacturing Execution System) services
  • Mentor engineers and uphold global standards of excellence in software craftsmanship
  • Tackle problems across the stack, from debugging packet loss in PLC communications to ensuring data consistency in large-scale, globally distributed databases
  • Prioritize robust, production-critical systems with strong validation, monitoring, and support mechanisms
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Operations, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Supply Chain
  • Participate in on-call rotations (no more than once every two months)
What You'll Bring
  • Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related or equivalent experience
  • Minimum 4 years of professional experience (6+ years preferred)
  • Proven experience implementing large-scale projects in languages like Go, Java, C++, Rust, or similar
  • Strong understanding of backend development fundamentals, including SQL databases, networking, and security
  • Basic familiarity with frontend technologies (HTML, JavaScript, CSS) and at least one modern framework (e.g., React, Angular, Svelte) for full-stack integration
  • Proficiency in rigorous software development practices, including version control, code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and logging
  • Excellent interpersonal communication skills and a demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives from concept to production
  • Familiarity with controls engineering concepts, manufacturing processes, and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Hands-on experience with Ignition and MES systems is a plus
