Job Summary

We are seeking a Production Software Engineer to support our manufacturing operations through software development, optimization, and real-time troubleshooting. In this role, you will work directly with production teams to debug software issues on the production floor, develop new tools for our Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and production planning platforms, and optimize test programs to reduce cycle time and improve efficiency. The ideal candidate combines strong software engineering skills with a practical, hands-on approach to problem-solving in a fast-paced production environment.

Responsibilities:

  • Provide real-time debugging and troubleshooting support for software issues on the production floor, ensuring minimal downtime and rapid resolution of technical problems affecting manufacturing operations.
  • Design, develop, and deploy new tools and features for the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to enhance production tracking, workflow automation, and operational efficiency.
  • Create and maintain software applications that support production planning activities, including scheduling tools, capacity planning modules, and resource management systems.
  • Analyze and optimize test programs to reduce cycle time and improve throughput while maintaining product quality standards.
  • Develop technical documentation for software tools and systems and provide training to production staff to ensure effective adoption and utilization of new technologies.

Qualifications & Requirements:

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Software engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field.
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, C#, LabView, MATLAB, or C++ for application development and automation.
  • Experience with SQL databases and data management systems.
  • Understanding of software debugging tools, version control systems (Git), and development methodologies
  • 5+ years of software engineering experience, preferably in a manufacturing or production environment
  • Proven track record of developing and deploying software tools in industrial settings
  • Experience troubleshooting software issues in time-sensitive production environments
  • Understanding of manufacturing processes, production workflows, and quality standards
  • Familiarity with MEMS fabrication processes is a plus.
  • Experience with wafer sort is a plus.

Desired Characteristics & Attributes:

  • A positive attitude and motivated to learn new skills.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills required.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work well with others in a collaborative fast-paced team environment
