What

You'll Do

In this role, you will play a key part in advancing business priorities by delivering high-impact work across your area of expertise. Join a team building software that runs at the core of some of the most advanced semiconductor systems in the world. In this role, you won't just ship code, you'll own features end-to-end, solve complex system-level problems, and see your work deployed on highly sophisticated equipment that operates at scale.

Responsibilities
  • Drive end-to-end development of software features within complex, production-grade systems—from requirements through design, implementation, testing, and release
  • Translate ambiguous system and customer requirements into scalable, maintainable software designs in a multi-disciplinary environment
  • Contribute to architecture and design discussions, ensuring solutions are robust, extensible, and aligned to long-term system evolution
  • Write high-quality, production-level code with a strong emphasis on performance, scalability, and reliability across distributed or multi-threaded systems
  • Identify, analyze, and resolve complex technical issues; perform root cause analysis and implement durable fixes in production environments
  • Proactively assess and mitigate technical risks, influencing design decisions and driving trade-off discussions with cross-functional stakeholders
  • Collaborate closely with hardware, systems, and interdisciplinary engineering teams to deliver integrated solutions on complex equipment platforms
  • Contribute to code reviews, mentor junior engineers, and uphold best practices in software development, testing, and documentation
  • Operate with a high level of ownership and accountability, balancing multiple priorities in a fast-paced, delivery-focused environment
Qualifications
  • Industry experience in software development (Master's preferred or equivalent experience), building and delivering production software systems
  • Strong proficiency in object-oriented programming and design, with hands-on experience implementing scalable software systems
  • Experience developing in C#, Java, or Python, with demonstrated ability to write production-quality code
  • Experience working with databases (SQL or No

    SQL) and designing data-driven applications
  • Solid understanding of software architecture principles, data structures, and algorithms
  • Proven ability to debug and troubleshoot complex systems, with experience in multi-threaded or distributed environments
  • Experience working on medium-to-large scale software projects with measurable impact (not just academic or short-term work)
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across engineering teams
  • Develop, deploy, and manage containerized applications using Docker, ensuring efficient packaging and consistency across environments.
  • Orchestrate and scale applications on Kubernetes, handling cluster configuration, deployments, and monitoring for high availability and performance.
What Differentiates You
  • Experience working in system-level or hardware-integrated environments (instrument control, machine software, or similar)
  • Demonstrated ability to take ownership of features or subsystems and drive them to production
  • Comfort operating in complex systems where software interacts with physical hardware or large-scale infrastructure
