Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Senior Software Engineer — 3D Print Farm Operations

Permanent / Full-time

$200,000 – $250,000

A venture-backed US healthtech company that designs and manufactures custom medical devices at scale, combining AI with in-house automated 3D-printing production. They're already live with some of the largest national healthcare providers and trusted by major US employers to protect their on-the-feet work forces.

This is the engineering role that owns the software running the physical production floor - the layer where backend services meet the printers themselves. You'll sit between a distributed engineering team and the production operation in San Francisco, owning the systems that keep the print farm running 's a hands‑on, on‑site role: you're with the hardware every day, shipping improvements that directly change how many devices get produced, how reliably, and how fast the team can react when something goes wrong.

• Own and develop the systems that handle printer queue orchestration, job dispatch and fleet-wide monitoring across the print farm
• Build automation that cuts manual operational work and lifts throughput and reliability
• Instrument the hardware to push real‑time data — failures, throughput, utilisation — into dashboards and alerting pipelines
• Work with the distributed engineering team to turn floor requirements into well-architected backend services and APIs
• Act as the on-site technical lead for production‑floor initiatives, from scoping through to delivery
• Find and remove failure points across the full path from print job creation to finished product

• Hands‑on experience writing software that talks to physical hardware, with a real understanding of what that involves in practice
• Comfortable with hardware communication protocols - USB, serial, REST/HTTP APIs or vendor SDKs and debugging at the hardware/software boundary
• Strong Type Script and Node.js, with experience building and maintaining production backend services
• Working knowledge of AWS - enough to design systems that bridge on-prem hardware with cloud services
• Comfortable on a production floor: someone who can translate messy operational problems into clean software and communicate fluently in both directions

• Experience building monitoring, alerting or automation tooling in a manufacturing or operational environment
