The Software Engineer II collaborates closely with global, cross-functional teams and supports strategic technology initiatives - delivering high-quality, scalable, and secure solutions aligned with SICK's technology vision.
Key Responsibilities
Software Development
  • Independently execute software design, development, and implementation tasks following SICK's development processes, including compliance with design control, quality standards, and regulatory requirements.
  • Lead enhancements, maintenance, and release activities across the software lifecycle, including major and minor versions, patches, updates, and long-term support.
  • Develop prototypes, proofs of concept, and MVPs to validate new ideas and de-risk project uncertainties.
  • Collaborate with internal and external development partners to meet technical, cost, and schedule expectations.
  • Provide technical input during requirements refinement and architectural discussions.

Testing & Quality Assurance
  • Plan, design, and execute comprehensive test procedures to validate functionality, performance, reliability, and security.
  • Conduct and sometimes lead code reviews, ensuring adherence to best practices, coding guidelines, and secure development standards.
  • Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve complex software issues, proposing short-term fixes and long-term systemic improvements.

Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Work closely with Product Management, Engineering, and Quality teams to translate technical requirements into actionable development tasks.
  • Contribute to backlog refinement, estimation, and risk identification during project planning.
  • Communicate technical decisions, project updates, and risk mitigation strategies clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Documentation & Reporting
  • Create, maintain, and review technical documentation including design specifications, test plans, change logs, and release notes.
  • Support software change management and release documentation processes.

Continuous Improvement & Learning
  • Proactively maintain expertise in SICK platforms, technologies, and development tools.
  • Evaluate and introduce new technologies, frameworks, and development practices that support innovation and efficiency.
  • Mentor Software Engineer I team members through informal coaching, code reviews, and knowledge sharing.
  • Contribute to process and product improvement initiatives.

Machine Vision, Algorithms & Emerging Technologies
  • Design, implement, and optimize classical and machine-learning-based algorithms for detection, inspection, automation, classification, tracking, and prediction using SICK 2D/3D cameras and programmable devices.
  • Employ advanced techniques-such as deep learning-to enhance system accuracy, robustness, and scalability.
  • Partner with internal teams to evaluate machine vision use cases and develop high-value solutions.
  • Maintain knowledge of modern hardware technologies, vision software frameworks, and AI/ML toolchains.
  • Perform full engineering responsibilities including estimation, requirement analysis, technical risk assessment, and solution design.

Perform other duties as may be assigned or required by management.

    • Demonstrated experience with multithreading, multiprocessing, inter-process communication, networking, or distributed systems.
    • Experience with version control (Git), code review workflows, CI/CD, and issue-tracking systems.
    • Familiarity with web fundamentals (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, REST/JSON, HTTP) and ability to develop simple UI tools or prototypes.
    • Ability to evaluate, integrate, and optimize third-party or open-source software components.
    • Experience monitoring, optimizing, and improving system performance and stability.
    • Experience designing or deploying machine vision / computer vision systems, including image processing or AI/ML-based methods.
    • Exposure to training or operationalizing deep learning models.
    • Comfortable using AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot or Claude Code.
    • Strong communication skills with the ability to share technical information effectively across teams.
