Field Software Engineer (Manufacturing)

Join our team as a Field Software Engineer, where you will design and implement on-premise data collection and analysis systems in high-mix manufacturing environments. You will collaborate with engineers of all disciplines and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) experts to modernize critical infrastructure and manufacturing operations. Your responsibilities will include building field-deployed applications, designing robust software interfaces, solving complex deployment challenges, and rapidly iterating with customers. You will also have the opportunity to travel up to 25% to work onsite with end users and internal teams.
