This is a hands-on technical role at the intersection of industrial automation, IT/OT networking, and edge software - you will be the person who gets Laminar’s sensors and edge devices online, stable, and talking to Food and Beverage factory control systems.\nYou will work directly with customer IT and OT teams to configure networks, commission PLC connections, and troubleshoot integration issues from first install through steady-state operation. When things break, you dig in and fix them. When patterns emerge, you document them, so the next deployment moves faster.\nThis role is a launchpad. Engineers who thrive here grow into edge software engineering, senior FDE roles with full account ownership, or go-to-market paths in sales and solutions engineering.\nWhat You Will Do\nNetwork & PLC Integration\nExecute end-to-end network and PLC integration of Laminar’s edge devices into customer OT environments - both onsite and remotely - covering IP configuration, VLAN setup, DMZ architecture, firewall rules, and cloud connectivity.\nConfigure and troubleshoot industrial communication protocols including Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP/RTU, and PROFINET to establish reliable data exchange between Laminar hardware and customer PLCs/SCADA systems.\nDiagnose and resolve network issues in the field: invalid IP configurations, DNS resolution failures, NTP sync problems, and general IT/OT network outages affecting data flow.\nWork alongside customer process, IT, and OT teams during deployment pilots to bring Laminar sensors and edge hardware online reliably and on schedule.\nContribute to productizing the integration process - identify what is manual and repetitive today and help engineer it away so deployments scale faster tomorrow.\nSupport Site Acceptance Test (SAT) completion and customer sign-off in coordination with the broader FDE team.\nDocumentation & Feedback Loop\nSystematically document integration challenges, workarounds, and field patterns; translate learnings into structured, actionable feedback for the edge device engineering team.\nBuild and maintain integration runbooks, network topology diagrams, and troubleshooting guides that reduce time-to-resolution for recurring issues.\nCustomer Support\nServe as a frontline member of Laminar’s customer support function - monitor deployed site health, drive root-cause analysis on connectivity and hardware issues and create a feedback loop between field observations and product engineering to improve system resilience.\nActively support Laminar’s sales team on pre-sales discovery calls and answer customer questions on cybersecurity, network/IT/OT architecture to get their approval. \nTravel Requirement: Up to 50% - onsite at customer manufacturing facilities; typical visits 1-2 days.\nAbout You\nRequired\nBachelor’s degree in computer science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering.\nHands-on experience with PLC platforms and industrial communication protocols: Ethernet/IP, Modbus (TCP and RTU), PROFINET, or equivalent.\nPractical proficiency with Git/GitHub, Python scripting, and Linux command-line fundamentals.\nUndergraduate coursework or equivalent demonstrated knowledge in networking fundamentals: IP addressing, subnetting, VLANs, DNS, NTP, and TCP/IP stack.\nComfortable getting hands dirty to debug data-flow problems - you understand what a network trace tells you and you know how to follow a packet.\nPortfolio of projects (academic, personal, or professional) demonstrating proficiency in networking, systems integration, debugging, or problem-solving.\nStrong cross-functional communicator - able to work across customer IT teams, plant-floor OT engineers, and internal software developers.\nWillingness to travel up to 50% to customer sites as deployment schedules require.\nPreferred\nAdvanced Linux skills: shell scripting, systemd service management, network diagnostics (tcpdump, netstat, ip, nmap).\nExperience with IT/OT convergence, Industry 4.0 architectures, or industrial network segmentation (Purdue model / ISA-99).\nFamiliarity with time-series or sensor data; ability to identify anomalies and performance degradation in data streams.\nExperience with monitoring tooling, alerting infrastructure, or ticketing systems.\nStartup mindset - adaptable, resourceful, and energized by building processes that don’t exist yet\nBenefits\nDirect impact on product and culture.\nComprehensive benefits package including Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, Disability, Transportation benefit, Health and Wellness benefit, and more.\n401k plan with employer matching\nEquity\nCompetitive salary and bonus opportunities.\nDynamic and inclusive work environment.\nOpportunities for growth and professional development.\nAccess to Greentown Labs' extensive network of cleantech startups.\nTransportation benefit for your commute\nWork with real recognition: 2026 World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer, Gold 2026 Edison Award, Unilever Startup of the Year, Innovator Awards by both Coca-Cola and ABInBev, and more\nA team that celebrates together from rooftop lunches, ping pong
