Associate Software Engineer, Manufacturing Technology

Job Description

Just imagine helping turn manufacturing knowledge into dependable software used across our factories. Then make it real.

About the role

As our Associate Software Engineer, you’ll join a new Manufacturing Technology initiative at an early stage. You’ll help explore how manufacturing recipes, processes and production knowledge can move from fragmented ways of working into scalable software. Working with experienced engineers and manufacturing specialists, you’ll learn how software is designed for factories where availability, precision and connectivity constraints matter.

Required Qualifications

• Developed and tested working software through employment, an internship, student work or another hands-on project.
• Programmed software using an object-oriented language such as C#/.NET, Java or similar.
• Applied software engineering practices such as version control, automated testing, code review or continuous integration and delivery.
• Built or improved software by turning product requirements or technical designs into working solutions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Developed applications using C#/.NET or modern front-end technologies such as React.
• Built or deployed solutions using AWS, Docker or Kubernetes.
• Created infrastructure as code using Terraform or similar technologies.
• Worked with manufacturing applications such as Manufacturing Execution Systems or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems.

What you'll build

• Develop, test and improve software supporting our manufacturing landscape.
• Build secure and maintainable solutions across cloud, on-premises and edge environments.
• Help investigate live issues using monitoring, observability and structured debugging.
• Explore how artificial intelligence and emerging technologies can improve engineering and problem-solving.

If you’ve gained practical software development experience and want to apply it where software meets physical production, you’ll feel at home here. What matters most is your ability to explore a problem, question assumptions and keep making progress while knowing when to ask for help.

Life on the team

You’ll join a small team within Manufacturing Technology, working alongside experienced engineers, product colleagues and manufacturing specialists. You’ll have space to ask why, experiment and learn from different perspectives. We value curiosity, openness to feedback and the confidence to raise a blocker or say when you don’t know something yet.

What success looks like

You won’t need to arrive as a manufacturing technology specialist. You’ll grow your understanding of how software supports production and gradually take greater ownership of the solutions you build. Over time, you’ll contribute reliable software that can improve how manufacturing knowledge and processes work across multiple factories.
