100% onsite, M-F, 8am - 5pm
Location: Sullivan Park
This position is very in-depth with integrating hardware into software. This position may include leading initiatives, not people, though a candidate may need to assign tasks as needed. BA required. Manager is not looking for a software engineer.
Scope of Position (i.e. projects involved with and role within group):
We are seeking an engineer with a strong background in imaging systems, hardware, and electronics to join our dynamic team. The successful candidate will play a crucial role in the full development life cycle of high-precision glass stress metrology instruments. This position entails leading the development and integration of hardware components for devices such as cameras, motors, optics, lasers, and control boards, directly contributing to cutting-edge advancements in glass stress metrology technology. The candidate will become a subject matter expert on the instrument, focusing on its functionality, setup, and optimization. While a foundational understanding of software engineering is necessary, the candidate will have the opportunity to further develop these skills on the job.
Day to Day Responsibilities:
1. Contribute to the design, development, and integration of hardware components including (but not limited to) cameras, motors, optics, lasers, and control boards.
2. Utilize knowledge of imaging systems, and electronics to develop and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable hardware integration techniques.
3. Optimize instrument performance by identifying and resolving bottlenecks and bugs in hardware integration.
4. Engage in the complete product development lifecycle, from concept and design to testing and deployment, with a strong focus on hardware integration.
5. Become a subject matter expert on the instrument, understanding its functionality, setup, and optimization.
6. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and deliver new hardware features and innovations.
7. Provide expert guidance and support in the development and troubleshooting of complex hardware-software solutions.
8. Continuously update professional knowledge and technical skills in physics, optics, hardware, and electronics by attending workshops, reviewing professional publications, establishing personal networks, and participating in professional societies.
9. Continue to grow an evolve technical knowledge is software development, hardware integration and best practices for both.
Education and Experience (minimum required for consideration):
Bachelor's degree with 5 years' experience in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, or a related field. A Master's degree is preferred.
Required Skills (These are skills that candidates MUST possess):
Strong knowledge of imaging systems, engineering and electronics.
Experience with hardware development and integration.
Practical experience in working with optical and laser hardware.
A background in the instrumentation industry, particularly related to metrology or related fields.
Intermediate proficiency in software engineering, with a willingness to learn and develop these skills further.
Familiarity with code versioning tools (such as Git).
Desired Skills (These are skills that would be nice for candidates to possess):
Hands-on experience in working with hardware and familiarity with integrating hardware APIs.
Experience in motor control and associated hardware interfaces.
Strong experience with MVVM architectural patterns.
Understanding of modern unit testing frameworks and methods.
Prior experience with WPF/MVVM frameworks would be beneficial.
Soft Skills (Communication/Team/Leadership):
Ability to lead or contribute to multidisciplinary projects.
Ability to lead or contribute to international teams.
Ability to mitigate technical risks.
Clear, concise oral and written communication skills.
Interview Process: The interview process will consist of a phone screen with the manager, take home code problem, followed by an onsite interview with 2-3 separate panels including a presentation of prior work (onsite interviews will take place on the same day).
