Junior Software Engineer, Edge Platform

Machines learned to understand language. We’re teaching them to understand matter.

Forty percent of global manufacturing happens through physical and chemical processes inside pipes, tanks, and reactors. Despite decades of industrial automation, much of what happens inside them remains remarkably invisible. Manufacturing is the most ubiquitous and foundational sector in global economy, yet the way factories are fundamentally run have used the same control philosophies, manual operations, and legacy software for the past 60 years.

Laminar deploys state‑of‑the‑art patented sensors and edge hardware directly into live production environments, generating data that didn’t previously exist to build foundation models deployed in factory floors that understand chemistry, composition, quality, and material state in real time. We use that understanding to run autonomy and rethink how things are made. Our technology has gained international recognition, from being selected as a 2026 World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer, Gold 2026 Edison Award, Unilever Startup of the Year, to Innovator Awards by both Coca‑Cola and AB InBev, and more.

Our systems have materially reduced waste, cut manufacturing downtime, saved water, chemicals, energy, and helped prevent safety and quality failures.

We are backed by tier‑one investors in physical AI to make intelligent, self‑improving production the new standard for industry.

Join us to build what makes matter intelligible, and the intelligible controllable.

We’re looking for a driven Software Engineer, Edge Platform to help build the software infrastructure behind Laminar’s edge computing platform. Working closely with our Senior Edge Platform Engineer, you’ll develop Linux‑based software, automate system setup, and improve how applications are deployed and managed on edge devices and factory servers. We value engineers who are curious about how systems work, take initiative, and follow problems through to a working solution.

You’ll take ownership of well‑defined components while building the skills to tackle increasingly complex engineering challenges.

• Software Development:
  Build and maintain Linux services, scripts, and tools supporting our edge platform
• System Provisioning:
  Help automate the setup and configuration of edge computers and factory‑deployed servers
• Application Deployment:
  Support packaging, testing, and deployment of applications using containers and virtual machines
• Industrial Connectors:
  Implement and test integrations for the industrial communication protocol our customers use, including Modbus TCP/IP, Profinet, OPC UA, CC‑Link, and Ether Net/IP. You’ll work through your design with a senior engineer and own the implementation
• Platform Reliability:
  Contribute to software updates, logging, monitoring, and recovery capabilities for deployed systems
• Debugging & Testing:
  Investigate service failures, networking issues, and resource usage. Develop tests that improve reliability across deployment environments
• Edge AI Integration:
  Support the integration and testing of ML inference workloads on edge hardware
• Cross‑Team
  
  Collaboration:
  
  Work with the senior engineer and broader engineering team to deliver features and resolve platform issues
• Documentation:
  Maintain clear setup instructions, technical documentation, and troubleshooting guides

• High initiative and strong follow‑through. You ask thoughtful questions, seek feedback, and take responsibility for your work.
• Ability to learn quickly and work successfully in a fast‑paced team environment.
• Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
• Good hands‑on Linux experience, including the command line, permissions, processes, services, package management, and logs.
• Experience…
