This is a hands-on technical leadership role for an experienced engineer who combines strong system-level thinking with the ability to drive architecture, lead complex features end-to-end, and mentor developers.

A key part of the role is leveraging modern AI tools for software development and helping the team adopt effective AI-driven engineering practices to improve quality, productivity, and development workflows.

Role Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and development of complex system-level software features
  • Drive end-to-end technical ownership - from architecture and design through implementation, integration, validation, and maintainability
  • Develop software that interfaces with motion controllers, optical and laser subsystems, sensors, cameras, and additional hardware components
  • Work hands-on across multiple software layers while guiding technical decisions and design quality
  • Mentor developers and promote engineering best practices and high development standards
  • Introduce and drive adoption of AI-assisted development workflows within the team
  • Collaborate closely with system engineers, developers, QA, Product, and cross-functional stakeholders
  • Contribute to Agile team execution and support continuous improvement

Requirements

  • 8+ years of hands-on experience in software design and development
  • B.Sc. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering
  • Proven experience leading the design and delivery of complex software systems
  • Strong experience in Object-Oriented Programming in C#/.NET
  • Experience working in multidisciplinary SW/HW environments
  • Strong system-level thinking and ability to work across multiple layers
  • Proven technical leadership, including ownership of complex features and mentoring developers
  • Hands-on experience using AI-assisted development tools (such as GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, or similar)
  • Proven ability to apply and promote AI-driven development practices within a team
  • Familiarity with LLMs, AI APIs, or prompt engineering
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

Advantages

  • Experience developing software that interfaces with motion control systems, optical systems, lasers, sensors, or similar hardware
  • Experience in a Tech Lead role
  • Experience as a Scrum Master or willingness to take on Scrum Master responsibilities
  • Experience working in Agile environments
  • Experience with UI or reporting layers
  • Knowledge and hands-on experience with Python
  • Previous experience in the semiconductor industry
