Job Title: Senior Software Developer – (C++/Linux)

About Us

We are at the forefront of developing a state-of-the-art digital weld operator for Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) applications. Our software solution runs on Linux (NixOS) and operates on both standard PC hardware and industrial PCs. The application is multi-threaded, C++- based, and incorporates performance-critical components, including advanced image recognition algorithms and adaptive steering for welding processes. It seamlessly integrates with Siemens PLC systems and is poised for cloud connectivity to enable centralized operations and data offloading.

Job Summary

We are seeking a Senior Software Developer with a passion for innovation and a proven track record in delivering high-performance software solutions. In this role, you will work on a highly dynamic application with advanced algorithms and real-time requirements, driving features from conception to delivery. You will also play a crucial role in integrating image recognition and adaptive welding technologies, ensuring the scalability and robustness of cloud-enabled operations.

Key Responsibilities

In this role, you will design, implement, and maintain a high-performance, multi-threaded C++ application running on Linux (NixOS), ensuring the code is clean, testable, and maintainable for long-term scalability. You will be responsible for integrating the application with Siemens PLC systems, optimizing communication protocols like PROFINET or Modbus to enable seamless system operations. A key aspect of your work will involve contributing to cloud integration features for data offloading and centralized management. You will also focus on addressing performance bottlenecks in real-time applications while ensuring the software aligns with the broader system-of-systems architecture.

Collaboration is critical in this role; you will work closely with cross-functional teams, including hardware engineers and operations specialists, to deliver robust, well-integrated solutions. Taking ownership of backlog tasks, you will drive them to completion independently, maintaining high-quality standards and meeting deadlines. Your ability to approach complex challenges with a system-level perspective and a collaborative mindset will be central to your success in this position.
