• Comfort working closely with controls engineers, mechanical designers, electrical engineers, and project managers on integrated automation solutions.
• Interest in solving complex engineering challenges and working on custom, project-specific solutions from concept through implementation.
• Desire to expand technical skills beyond pure software development into broader industrial and automation domains.

Work Environment

The Software Development team operates in a collaborative, highly technical environment with a small group of approximately five software professionals, allowing each developer to make a visible impact and take ownership of significant aspects of projects. Developers work closely with controls engineers, electrical designers, mechanical engineers, and project managers to deliver custom automation and testing solutions for a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, life sciences, energy, and consumer products. The environment is fast-paced and project-driven, exposing team members to diverse technologies, products, and engineering challenges, from embedded microcontroller platforms like Arduino and Raspberry Pi to SCADA systems, PLCs, instrumentation, barcode scanners, and vision systems. Team members are encouraged to be hands-on, ask questions, and actively participate in technical discussions, creating a strong learning culture and offering significant opportunities for professional growth and long-term advancement.
