Job description

About the Role

Our client is a global leader in fire and life-safety systems, delivering mission-critical building safety solutions across North America. As part of the engineering team, you’ll own the Windows-based configuration software that technicians and engineers rely on to program, validate, and deploy fire alarm control panels in the field. This is a hands-on, product-critical role where software quality has direct real-world safety implications - every configuration your code validates protects lives and property.

What You’ll Do
  • Design, develop, and maintain Windows configuration software (C++ and C#/.NET) for fire alarm control panels.
  • Build and enhance features for panel programming, device configuration, and validation of configuration data.
  • Work across the boundary between the desktop configuration tool and embedded panel firmware, including communication over serial and IP protocols.
  • Implement robust data validation to ensure generated configurations meet fire and life-safety requirements.
  • Debug and troubleshoot issues spanning configuration software, panel communication, and data integrity.
  • Write unit and integration tests, participate in code reviews, and contribute to a maintainable, well-documented codebase.
  • Collaborate closely with firmware, hardware, QA, and product teams within an Agile delivery process.
  • Participate in sprint planning, backlog refinement, and retrospectives, contributing to continuous improvement of the team's engineering practices.
  • Support root-cause analysis for field-reported issues, working cross-functionally to reproduce, diagnose, and resolve defects.
  • Contribute to technical documentation, including design specs, API references, and configuration validation rules.
  • Mentor junior engineers and share knowledge across the desktop/firmware boundary as the team scales.
Profile Requirement
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software/Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • 5-8 years of professional software development with strong hands-on experience in both C++ and C#.
  • Solid Windows desktop development with .NET (WinForms and/or WPF).
  • Strong fundamentals: object-oriented design, data structures, algorithms, and systematic debugging.
  • Experience with communication protocols (serial / TCP-IP) between an application and a device.
  • Version control and CI workflows (Git and/or Azure DevOps).
  • US work authorization and ability to work onsite in Westford, MA, 3 days per week.
  • Professional fluency in English.
Nice to Have
  • Prior experience in a regulated or safety-critical industry (fire/life safety, medical devices, industrial controls, automotive).
  • Familiarity with embedded systems concepts, even without direct firmware development experience.
  • Exposure to static analysis, code coverage tooling, or safety/compliance standards (e.g., UL, NFPA).
Why choose us
  • An international community bringing together more than 110 different nationalities
  • An environment where trust is central: 70% of our leaders started their careers at the entry level
  • A strong training system with our internal Academy and more than 250 modules available
  • A dynamic work environment that frequently comes together for internal events (afterworks, team buildings, etc.)

Amaris Consulting promotes equal opportunities. We are committed to bringing together people from diverse backgrounds and creating an inclusive work environment. In this regard, we welcome applications from all qualified individuals, regardless of sex, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, beliefs, age, marital status, disability, or other characteristics.
