Software Engineer - Factory Intelligence

As a member of the Factory Analysis Software Tools (FAST) team, you will develop software that turns complex manufacturing and test data into meaningful insights for Engineering, Operations, and Quality. The tools you create will support investigations into production issues, reveal sources of process variation, improve test yields, and enable teams to make faster, more informed decisions.

This is a practical, hands-on development role with a direct connection to real manufacturing challenges. You will collaborate closely with engineers and factory stakeholders to understand their needs, design effective solutions, and see your work put into use across active production environments.

You’ll work across a diverse set of technologies, including web applications, Python-based data processing, databases, APIs, data visualization, and statistical analysis tools. You do not need to be an expert in all of these areas on day one-we’re looking for a strong software developer who enjoys learning new technologies and solving meaningful technical problems that make a tangible impact.

What You Will Do

• Design, develop, test, and maintain applications that help users explore and understand factory and test data
• Develop data visualization and analytical tools that make complex manufacturing data easier to interpret
• Build Python and other software solutions to transform, standardize, and analyze data from a variety of engineering and test systems
• Develop and integrate applications with relational databases, APIs, and other enterprise systems
• Work directly with engineers, factory personnel, and other stakeholders to understand problems and turn them into effective software solutions
• Troubleshoot software, data, and process issues in production environments
• Contribute to application architecture, technical design, code reviews, and team development practices
• Learn the manufacturing and test processes behind the data and use that knowledge to identify opportunities for new capabilities
• Work collaboratively within an Agile software development team to deliver practical solutions to challenging technical problems
