• Own and evolve the software architecture across the development lifecycle-defining system- and subsystem-level requirements, interfaces, and specifications, and guiding key design decisions
• Design, implement, and optimize core algorithms for measurement, data analysis, and signal/image processing, including numerical methods and high-performance multithreaded code
• Develop C#/.NET and C++ software for data analysis and algorithm implementation; write maintainable, well-structured code and use AI-assisted tools responsibly under company security policies
• Evaluate and compare algorithmic approaches through prototyping, benchmarking, and analysis of accuracy, precision, and computational complexity
• Build robust unit/integration tests and use profiling to improve algorithm performance, accuracy, memory usage, reliability, and security
• Participate in design reviews and incorporate feedback from stakeholders and subject matter experts
• Troubleshoot system/subsystem issues using logs and experiments; contribute to root-cause analysis, implement fixes with guidance, and help prevent recurrence
• Demonstrate motivation to independently learn and apply new software technologies
  Bachelor's degree (required) + Significant relevant experience; Master's or advanced degree (desired) + relevant experience in Computer Science, Software, Electrical, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering, Physics, or Mathematics.
• A solid understanding and demonstrated track record in the practice of software engineering fundamentals, including software architecture, data structures, algorithms, design patterns, event-driven design, multithreaded design, testing, and debugging.
