Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Software Engineering Manager who thrives as a working manager — someone who leads by example, isn''''t afraid to write code alongside their team, and brings both technical depth and people leadership to the table. This role sits at the intersection of hands-on engineering, team management, and cross-functional collaboration.

The ideal candidate brings a strong background in enterprise software development, on-premise solution deployment, and manufacturing or industrial technology environments. You are a pragmatic, open-minded technologist who values collaboration, continuous improvement, and emerging technologies like machine learning and robotics.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

     Design and develop C#, Blazor, and RESTful API solutions

     Architect scalable on-premises software with strong DB design

     Integrate software with PLCs, HMIs, and MES platforms

     Conduct code reviews and define engineering standards

     Manage project scope, timelines, and Jira tracking

     Champion ML/AI and robotics exploration for product roadmap

     Translate business requirements into technical specifications

QUALIFICATIONS

     5+ years software engineering experience

     Strong proficiency in C# / .NET and Blazor

     RESTful API design, implementation, and integration

     Relational database experience (SQL Server, PostgreSQL)

     On-premises software deployment and maintenance

     Agile/Scrum and Jira project management

     PLC/HMI and MES integration experience preferred

     Exposure to ML frameworks and CI/CD pipelines a plus

 

WHAT WE VALUE IN THIS ROLE

We''''re not looking for someone who rigidly enforces a single methodology or technology stack. We want a leader who thinks broadly, adapts thoughtfully, and brings the team along for the journey. If you believe great software comes from empowered, collaborative teams — and you still love being in the code — this role was built for you.

Hands-on technical contributor            Open-minded about technology choices

Strong communicator & collaborator  Curious about ML, robotics & what''''s next

    Organized, Agile, delivery-focused       Comfortable in industrial/OT environments
