JJob Title: Tech Lead SW Dev / Architect – (C++/Linux)
Job Summary
We are seeking a Tech Lead SW Dev / SW Architect with a passion for innovation and
a proven track record in delivering high-performance software solutions. In this role, you will
work on a highly dynamic application with advanced algorithms and real-time requirements,
driving features from conception to delivery. You will also play a crucial role in integrating
image recognition and adaptive welding technologies, ensuring the scalability and robustness
of cloud-enabled operations.
Key Responsibilities
In this role, you will design, implement, and maintain a high-performance, multi-threaded
C++ application running on Linux (NixOS), ensuring the code is clean, testable, and
maintainable for long-term scalability. You will be responsible for integrating the application
with Siemens PLC systems, optimizing communication protocols like PROFINET or Modbus
to enable seamless system operations. A key aspect of your work will involve contributing to
cloud integration features for data offloading and centralized management. You will also
focus on addressing performance bottlenecks in real-time applications while ensuring the
software aligns with the broader system-of-systems architecture.
Collaboration is critical in this role; you will work closely with cross-functional teams,
including hardware engineers and operations specialists, to deliver robust, well-integrated
solutions. Taking ownership of backlog tasks, you will drive them to completion
independently, maintaining high-quality standards and meeting deadlines. Your ability to
approach complex challenges with a system-level perspective and a collaborative mindset will
be central to your success in this position.
