Software Development Engineer - Factory Automation

Change the world. Love your job.

TI's MFAB factory in South Portland, Maine, is a cutting‑edge, fully automated semiconductor fab. The IT Manufacturing Solutions team builds the software that makes the factory run real‑time control, data integration, analytics, and AI‑driven decision support. We are looking for a passionate Software Development Engineer who can turn complex manufacturing challenges into elegant, reliable code.

What You'll Do

* Design & develop end‑to‑end software solutions that automate, monitor, and optimize production equipment and workflows in this modern fab environment.

* Collaborate with site engineers, manufacturing teams, and data scientists to understand domain‑specific requirements and translate them into robust applications.

* Write clean, testable code in modern languages (C#, .NET Core, Python) and leverage a SQL Server back‑end for high‑speed data handling.

* Build, containerize, and orchestrate services using Docker and Kubernetes to support scalable, fault‑tolerant deployments.

* Automate build, test, and release pipelines with the Atlassian suite (Jira, Bitbucket, Confluence) and CI/CD tools (Git Hub Actions, Azure Dev Ops).

* Debug and troubleshoot production issues quickly, applying root‑cause analysis and delivering timely fixes to keep the fab running at peak efficiency.

* Champion best practices in code quality, security, documentation, and continuous improvement across the team.

Minimum Requirements:

* Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related field of study

* 2+ years of relevant professional experience

Preferred Qualifications:

* Development environment - experience developing in languages like C#/.NET, Python and SQL

* Domain knowledge - prior work in semiconductor manufacturing, fab automation, or industrial control systems a plus.

* Leadership & communication - proven ability to build influential relationships across engineering, manufacturing, and operations; strong written and verbal communication.

* Customer‑centric mindset - track record of delivering high‑quality service and taking ownership of issue resolution.

* Independent or Small Teams - Ability to work both independently managing project milestones or on small teams with a project lead

* AI/ML exposure - familiarity with enterprise AI workflows (e.g., Retrieval‑Augmented Generation, model serving, knowledge‑graph integration) and tools such as Claude, Git Hub Copilot, or Azure AI.

* Modern development practices - hands‑on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and micro‑services architecture.

* Sense of urgency/speed - to keep pace with the demands of the semiconductor manufacturing factory environment.
