Software Engineer — San Jose, CA

💻 Software Engineer | Equipment Control Software

📍 California | On-site

🔥 Two Positions Available

Build the software that makes advanced equipment work.

We’re recruiting two Software Engineers at different experience levels to join a growing engineering team developing real-time control software for sophisticated automated equipment.

One position will suit an experienced engineer ready to take greater technical ownership. The second is an opportunity for someone earlier in their career who wants to develop, progress and build specialist expertise.

Q7jXvthUc9bvj experience is highly relevant, but it isn't essential. We’re equally interested in engineers from medical devices, laboratory equipment, industrial automation or other complex equipment environments.

🚀 What You’ll Be Doing

• Design and develop real-time equipment control software.

• Take software from requirements through design, development, integration, testing and deployment.

• Develop software that interfaces directly with automated equipment and intelligent devices.

• Work across equipment controls, HMI, safety systems, PLCs and automation.

• Solve software and equipment issues in development and customer environments.

• Understand how individual software changes affect the performance of the complete system.

• Collaborate with Software, Hardware, Process and Customer Engineering teams.

• Help bring new equipment technologies from R&D into real-world production environments.

🧠 What We’re Looking For

Depending on the level, we're looking for experience across some of the following:

• C# / .NET software development.

• Strong C++ engineers interested in transitioning into .NET will also be considered.

• Real-time, multithreaded or equipment-control software.

• Software interfaces with robots, sensors, motion systems, valves, controllers or other intelligent devices.

• Industrial communication protocols such as Ethernet, TCP/IP or RS-232.

• Experience working on complex, cross-functional engineering projects.

• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.

• Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related discipline.

⭐ Particularly Relevant Experience

Experience within semiconductors is attractive, but we're deliberately looking beyond the sector.

Relevant backgrounds could include:

sAMxzhkffzVSU JZSQQSjCj | Medical Devices | Laboratory Equipment | Robotics | Industrial Automation | Scientific Instrumentation | Advanced Manufacturing | Capital Equipment

Experience with PLCs, EtherCAT, TwinCAT, factory automation or equipment-control architectures would be particularly interesting.

👥 Two Roles. Different Levels.

We're not looking for two identical engineers.

Developing Engineer

Ideal for someone with a solid foundation in software engineering who wants exposure to increasingly complex equipment, automation and control systems.

Experienced Engineer

Suited to someone who can take greater ownership of software architecture, complex controls challenges and major development projects while helping raise the technical capability of the wider team.

For both positions, the emphasis is on potential, technical curiosity and progression, not simply years of experience.

🚀 Why This Opportunity?

• Join a company that's growing and genuinely going places.

• Work on software that directly controls sophisticated physical equipment, not another generic software product.

• Get involved in new product development and R&D, rather than simply maintaining legacy systems.

• See the direct impact of your software on real-world equipment.

• Work across software, hardware, automation and engineering.

• Join a smaller environment where your contribution is visible and matters.

• Build specialist skills in an area where software and advanced engineering increasingly meet.

• Genuine opportunity to grow your responsibilities and progress as the business expands.

💡 The Person

You don't need to come from one exact industry.

We're interested in engineers who enjoy the challenge of making software, hardware and complex equipment work together.

Whether you're already developing semiconductor equipment software or building control systems for medical, laboratory or automated industrial equipment, this could be an opportunity to take that experience into a rapidly developing technology environment.

📍 California | On-site

🌎 Limited international travel may be required.
