The successful candidate must have professional experience developing applications, writing and reviewing code, working with APIs and integrations, and deploying software into production or operational environments. Experience using AI tools is valuable, but it is not a substitute for demonstrated software development experience.\n\nThe role is responsible for transforming business and operational needs into secure, supportable, scalable, and measurable solutions, using approved development tools, enterprise platforms, custom code, APIs, and cloud services. Solutions may include AI-enabled applications, web applications, internal tools, automations, integrations, data-driven workflows, and plant-facing applications.\n\nThis role will collaborate with stakeholders across operations, engineering, quality, supply chain, commercial, finance, HR, and IT to understand business processes, technical requirements, and operational constraints. The primary focus is delivering working software through the full development lifecycle, including requirements, design, prototyping, development, testing, deployment, documentation, and early-stage production support.\n\nWe are an ITAR-regulated company. To be considered for employment with us, you must be either a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.\n\nThis role requires approximately 40% domestic and international travel during the first year. Travel is primarily intended to build relationships, understand plant operations, and develop solutions alongside the people who will use them. The employee will have meaningful autonomy in planning travel based on business needs, project schedules, and coordination with plant and functional partners. As relationships and working practices become established, travel may decrease during the second year.\n\nSalary range is subject to location, as this role can be remote.\n\nRoles and Responsibilities\n\nDesign, develop, test, deploy, and support, production applications and AI-enabled solutions using custom code, APIs, cloud services, databases, integrations, and approved enterprise platforms.\nServe as a technical guide for business teams, working together to build solutions with the people who will use them.\nProvide strong, hands-on guidance as users participate in solution design, prototyping, testing, refinement, and deployment. Help users make sound decisions while ensuring the resulting solutions meet enterprise technical and governance standards.\nManage solution delivery from initial discovery, through deployment, and early-life support, including scope, requirements, priorities, timelines, responsibilities, risks, testing, communication, and handoff.\nWrite clean, maintainable, secure, testable, and documented code using disciplined software engineering practices such as source control, code review, testing, deployment, monitoring, and production support.\nTranslate business and operational needs into technical designs, prototypes, working software, and scalable production applications.\nBuild application components across the front end, service tier, APIs, integrations, automation workflows, and data layer as required by each solution.\nDiagnose defects, troubleshoot production issues, refactor prototypes, and harden internally developed or user-built solutions, for secure and supportable enterprise use.\nReview and validate AI-generated code for correctness, security, maintainability, performance, and production readiness.\nEstablish reusable components, deployment patterns, templates, documentation, and support practices so successful solutions can be repeated across functions and manufacturing sites.\nPartner with IT architecture, security, infrastructure, data, and application teams, to ensure solutions meet enterprise standards for identity, access, data protection, logging, resiliency, integration, and responsible AI use.\nSupport citizen developers and solution owners by establishing guardrails, providing technical coaching, and helping viable user-built solutions, move into governed production environments.\n\nJob Requirements\n\nEducation\n\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, Engineering, or a closely related technical field required.\nEquivalent professional software development experience may be considered in place of a degree.\n\nRequired Experience\n\nThree or more years of progressive work experience in information technology, automation, business systems, manufacturing technology, analytics, software delivery, AI enablement, or a related field, including demonstrated hands-on experience building, deploying, and supporting production applications or enterprise solutions.\nThree to five years of hands-on experience working as a software developer or software engineer, with demonstrated experience shipping working code into business or operational environments.\nDemonstrated ability to independently read, write, debug, modify, and explain production-quality code.\nStrong practical development experience using Python and/or TypeScript, including front-end, service-tier, API, automation, scripting, and integration work.\nExperience working with disciplined software development practices, including Git, branching, pull requests, code review, testing, deployment, documentation, monitoring, and production support.\nExperience consuming, developing, securing, and troubleshooting REST APIs or comparable integration interfaces.\nExperience debugging applications through code analysis, logging, error handling, testing, and systematic problem diagnosis.\nWorking knowledge of application security, authentication, authorization, secrets management, error handling, data protection, and secure development practices.\nAbility to assess AI-generated code and determine whether it is correct, secure, maintainable, and appropriate for production use.\nExperience working directly with business stakeholders to identify process-improvement opportunities and translate them into practical technical solutions.\nExperience working across cross-functional initiatives in a multi-site or global environment preferred.\nExperience with AI-assisted development tools, Azure-hosted applications, Databricks, manufacturing systems, HMI/SCADA, PLC-adjacent workflows, or plant automation environments preferred.\n\nPreferred Certifications\n\nRelevant Microsoft, Azure, software development, cloud, AI, Databricks, automation, or application-development certifications preferred.\n\nInterview Process\n\nAs part of the interview process, candidates will complete a short, straightforward live coding exercise in a programming language of their choice. The exercise is designed to confirm the ability to read, understand, debug, and write basic code. It is not intended to assess algorithm memorization or advanced computer science concepts.\n\n#LI-MR1\n\nTarget Hiring Range\n\nAnnual Salary: USD 115,000.00 - USD 145,000.00\n\nActual compensation is commensurate with experience, skills and education.
