With strong backing, a visionary leadership team, and active government and commercial programs, we're reshaping how complex systems are designed and built.

Job Duties

  • Architect and implement real-time monitoring and control software for advanced additive manufacturing platforms.
  • Integrate hardware systems-sensors, actuators, and control loops-into cohesive software solutions that enable closed-loop precision.
  • Develop motion control, extrusion logic, and thermal coordination for next-gen composite printing systems.
  • Build connectivity between printers and cloud-based platforms for data acquisition, performance analytics, and system traceability.
  • Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and materials engineers on end-to-end system integration in both lab and factory environments.
  • Design and test software for smart factory operations, including scheduling, process quality, and scaling to multi-printer production fleets.
  • Establish robust test coverage, software reliability standards, and performance benchmarks suitable for high-stakes manufacturing.
  • Evaluate frameworks, protocols, and architectures that balance real-time responsiveness with maintainability.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Robotics, or a related technical discipline.
  • 5+ years of professional software development experience in robotics, manufacturing, or industrial automation.
  • Proficiency in one or more of the following : Rust, Python, C / C++, or embedded programming.
  • Strong understanding of motion control, real-time systems, and algorithm integration.
  • Familiarity with industrial communication protocols (e.g., ROS, G-code, OPC UA, Modbus).
  • Experience working directly with sensors, actuators, and controllers.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across mechanical, electrical, and cross-disciplinary engineering teams.
  • Preferred Experience

  • Master's or Ph.D. in a relevant technical field.
  • Background in extrusion-based additive manufacturing, CNC machines, or robotic arms.
  • Knowledge of IIoT systems, smart factory platforms, or industrial software architecture.
  • Familiarity with aerospace / defense manufacturing requirements for traceability and process control.
  • Experience with ERP / MRP platforms or integrations.
  • Why Join Us

  • Shape the software foundation of an industry-defining manufacturing platform.
  • Collaborate closely with the founding leadership team to bring core systems from concept to production.
  • Gain early equity in a venture-backed startup with high-growth potential.
  • Work hands-on across embedded, real-time, and cloud-connected software challenges.
  • Contribute to aerospace and defense projects with significant national impact.
  • Thrive in a modern, robotics-driven factory environment.
