We are seeking an experienced Full-Stack Software Engineer to join our dynamic team working on building a cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) Vision System from the ground up. Utilizing a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) edge-to-cloud continuum, you will develop and maintain the software that powers image acquisition, serves machine learning models on edge PCs, and integrates with cloud-based APIs and infrastructure.
This is a hands-on role that bridges front-end, back-end, and edge computing. You will take end-to-end ownership of the software lifecycle,from architecture and development to edge deployment, telemetry monitoring, and ensuring high reliability in a live manufacturing environment.
Key responsibilities include:
- Building scalable, secure web-based interfaces, RESTful APIs, and microservices to interact with edge vision systems and manage cloud-based machine learning workflows on GCP.
- Deploying, optimizing, and serving machine learning models on edge devices (e.g., industrial PCs, NVIDIA Jetson).
- Architecting and managing data pipelines using SQL and NoSQL databases to handle large datasets, assembly traceability identifiers, and model result storage.
- Developing and establishing monitoring, telemetry, and remote management tools for edge hardware and cameras to ensure system health and performance.
- Partnering with Data Scientists, Hardware Engineers, and Product Managers to translate business requirements into robust technical solutions.
- Writing clean, maintainable code following DevSecOps standards. Implementing unit/integration testing and managing containerized CI/CD pipelines to ensure reliable software delivery.
- Diagnosing and resolving complex system issues spanning edge computing performance, API integrations, and network connectivity on the manufacturing floor.
Requirements include:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field OR a combination of education and experience.
- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience building preferably full-stack or backend systems.
- Strong proficiency in Python, alongside experience with modern frontend frameworks (e.g., Angular or React) and backend languages (e.g., Java, C#, or Node.js).
- APIs & Web Technologies: 3+ years of experience designing and building RESTful APIs and working with core web technologies.
- DevOps & Edge: 2+ years of experience with containerization, CI/CD pipelines, and deploying software to Linux-based edge environments.
- Version Control: Proficiency with GitHub and modern version control workflows.
- Soft Skills: Strong analytical problem-solving skills and excellent communication abilities to collaborate effectively across IT and business teams.
Experience with cloud platforms (GCP strongly preferred) and hands-on experience with both relational and non-relational databases is also a plus.
