Job description

Design and develop proprietary Windows desktop application and framework software for control machines, automation systems, and complex electro-mechanical platforms - including motion controllers, I/O systems, sensors, machine vision systems, robotics, and barcode readers. This role spans full lifecycle development-from architecture and design through integration, deployment, and customer support-focused on uptime, safety, and predictable behavior.

This position is ideal for engineers who enjoy building large software systems that interact with sophisticated industrial equipment.

Responsibilities: - Design, develop, test, and integrate machine control software using C++ and C# in a Visual Studio environment. - Develop automation software using object-oriented design principles and software design patterns. - Integrate motion controllers, I/O systems, machine vision, robotics, sensors, barcode readers, and other industrial devices through vendor-provided Windows APIs and SDKs. - Drive system architecture, interface definitions, and software design reviews; establish patterns that scale across product variants. - Own customer escalation response: troubleshoot issues using logs, instrumentation, and on-equipment debugging; deliver corrective actions and prevention plans. - Partner with Manufacturing and Field Service to resolve production-line and installed-base issues, restore system uptime, and improve reliability. - Build verification strategies that push failure detection upstream (simulation, automated system tests, regression suites) and reduce re-occurrence. - Interface with customers and cross-functional teams (EE/ME/Test/Apps) to align requirements, integration plans, and release readiness. - Mentor engineers through code reviews, design feedback, and technical coaching.
