Senior Machine Software Engineer - Control Architecture for Industrial Manufacturing Equipment

Our client is a deep-tech startup that has built a proprietary industrial manufacturing technology with capabilities that no other system on the market has achieved.

After years of R&D, they are now industrializing their flagship machine. They are a compact, senior-only engineering team where every person owns their domain completely. No layers, no bureaucracy, just exceptional engineers building something that has never been done before in their industry.

Your Mission

You will be the software engineer on the team. You will define and own the entire software control architecture for a complex industrial machine, from architecture design through testing and industrialization.

This is not web or SaaS development. This is low-level, real-time, close-to-hardware machine software for a physical system with complexity comparable to an industrial robot or precision medical device. You will work side by side with the firmware, electronics, and process engineers

What You Will Do

• Define and own the full software architecture for the machine control system, including interfaces and integration with embedded and hardware subsystems
• Design and implement core control algorithms, state machines, and process routines coordinating motion and machine sequencing
• Ensure real-time operation and parallel movement coordination, critical for machine productivity
• Drive precision motor control at 50-micron layer increments
• Lead system-level testing and validation; iterate rapidly during the industrialization phase
