About the role

Responsibilities

  • Define and own the technical architecture and long-term roadmap for the manufacturing test software platform, including test execution frameworks, user interfaces, distributed data storage, cloud services, on-site client-server systems, and reporting.
  • Lead, mentor, and grow a team of Full Stack Engineers, setting technical standards for code quality, design patterns, testing, documentation, and operational excellence.
  • Partner with hardware engineers, test developers, data engineers, operations, and reliability teams to translate business and engineering requirements into clear, scalable software designs.
  • Drive key architectural decisions across the stack — from front-end frameworks and API design to database schemas, distributed data synchronization, cloud deployments, and on-prem infrastructure across multiple manufacturing facilities.
  • Conduct design and code reviews, guide technical trade-offs, and ensure the team is building secure, reliable, and maintainable systems.
  • Collaborate with engineering leadership on planning, prioritization, and delivery commitments, and represent the platform in cross-functional technical discussions.
  • Identify opportunities to improve manufacturing efficiency, quality, and scalability through better tooling, automation, data infrastructure, and platform capabilities.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in computer science, computer engineering, or a related field.
  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 2+ years in a technical leadership, staff engineer, or architect role.
  • Demonstrated experience designing and delivering complex, full-stack software systems at scale, including distributed systems and data-intensive applications.
  • Strong proficiency in at least one advanced programming language (e.g. Python, C++) and deep familiarity with modern full-stack development practices.
  • Experience architecting software for hardware manufacturing environments, such as manufacturing test automation, MES/test data systems, or manufacturing quality control.
  • Experience architecting and building client-server software, including designing the protocols, APIs, and deployment patterns that connect on-site infrastructure to broader platform services.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (e.g. AWS, GCP), including infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and production operations.
  • Experience designing systems backed by both SQL databases (e.g. PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL databases (e.g. MongoDB, Redis), including schema design, performance tuning, and data modeling.
  • Solid grounding in front-end technologies and frameworks (e.g. HTML, JavaScript, modern UI frameworks) and the ability to make sound architectural decisions about UI/API boundaries.
  • Track record of mentoring engineers, leading technical projects end-to-end, and partnering effectively with cross-functional stakeholders.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience building distributed data platforms that synchronize across multiple sites or facilities.
  • Experience with data engineering, data analytics, and/or business intelligence platforms, and partnering with data teams on reporting and visualization.
  • Strong UI/UX sensibility and experience guiding the design of tools used by technical operators.
  • Experience with networking and cybersecurity considerations in industrial or manufacturing settings.
