Job description

Staff Software Engineer, Factory Automation

We are seeking a StaffSoftware Engineer, Factory Infrastructure to join us as we build the next generation of deployment and simulation infrastructure for our factory control systems. This role will be instrumental in designing and implementing cloud infrastructure, establishing software architecture patterns, and creating robust testing environments for our Beckhoff PLC-based factory control system. You'll work at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, industrial automation, and software architecture-designing systems that enable our controls and machine learning engineers to develop, test, and deploy factory automation solutions with confidence. This is an opportunity to build foundational infrastructure that will scale with our rapidly growing manufacturing operations while mentoring engineers across multiple disciplines. 

Responsibilities will include: 

  • Design and implement AWS infrastructure using the Cloud Development Kit (CDK), establishing patterns and best practices for infrastructure as code 
  • Architect application systems and provide software architecture guidance for applications built by machine learning engineers and controls engineers 
  • Lead the design and development of deployment and simulation infrastructure for our Beckhoff PLC-based factory control system, including comprehensive testing environments and CI/CD pipelines 
  • Create documentation, tools, and training materials to help controls engineers effectively use the simulation and test ecosystem 
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather requirements, mentor engineers on best practices, and participate in technical planning for long-term infrastructure strategy 

Qualifications:

  • B.S. or advanced degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or another discipline with significant relevant work experience 
  • Minimum 5+ years of software development experience with demonstrated expertise in infrastructure, systems design, and AWS services (preferably using AWS CDK)
