We're seeking a Senior Software Engineer to help our software development efforts and play a crucial role in shaping the future of our products. This is a hands-on technical role for someone who wants to build production-grade software for large-scale automation systems, not just manage tickets or write isolated application code. You'll be deeply involved in both high-level architecture decisions and day-to-day coding.
Responsibilities
- Build high-performance, reliable C++ software that interfaces directly with robotics, motion control, sensors, PLCs, and other automation hardware
- Work hands-on with mechanical, electrical, firmware, controls, and field teams to bring complex hardware/software systems to life
- Debug and solve real-world system issues across software, hardware, networking, timing, and controls boundaries
- Set a high bar for code quality, system reliability, testability, and maintainability through strong engineering practices
- Contribute to product roadmap decisions, technical strategy, and long-term platform architecture
- Support deployments at customer sites by partnering with implementation teams to ensure systems are robust, scalable, and supportable
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with deep expertise in C++
- Strong experience building software for complex physical systems, such as robotics, industrial automation, controls, embedded systems, or hardware-integrated products
- Proven ability to architect reliable, maintainable software for systems that must work in the real world
- Experience with real-time or near-real-time systems, multi-threaded programming, hardware interfaces, and Linux-based environments
- Strong debugging skills across software, hardware, networking, timing, and system integration issues
- Ability to lead technical direction, make sound architecture decisions, and mentor other engineers
- Comfortable working closely with mechanical, electrical, firmware, controls, manufacturing, and field teams
- Strong ownership mindset, practical judgment, and bias toward building systems that are simple, reliable, and deployable
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience
