Software Integration Engineer – Build the Systems Powering Advanced Manufacturing at Scale!

Los Angeles, CA | On-site

A fast-growing advanced manufacturing stealth company is building next-generation optical and hardware systems that support the future of high-performance computing and communications. The team is focused on developing highly automated production environments where software, hardware, and data systems work together seamlessly from early qualification through full‑scale manufacturing. This Software Integration Engineer role is central to that mission. You will own the software that connects factory tools, test infrastructure, and production workflows.

From production line automation to test system orchestration and data visibility, your work will directly impact manufacturing reliability, throughput, and quality. This is a hands‑on role for engineers who enjoy working at the intersection of software, hardware, and real‑world systems.

We are an engineering‑driven manufacturing organization focused on scaling complex, high‑performance hardware systems for demanding commercial and industrial applications. Our teams build tightly integrated software and tooling that enables precision, speed, and reliability across the entire production lifecycle. By combining deep technical expertise with modern automation and data systems, we are setting new standards for high‑volume manufacturing operations.

• Design, develop, and maintain software that controls factory equipment, workstations, and manufacturing workflows.
• Partner closely with process engineers to ensure all production parameters are visible, traceable, and controllable.
• Extend automation systems to support new product launches and evolving manufacturing processes.
• Maintain reliable interfaces between factory hardware, tooling, and control software.

• Own the software that operates end‑of‑line production testing and development lab environments.
• Build and maintain automated test frameworks used for qualification, validation, and manufacturing.
• Integrate and control test equipment, instrumentation, and hardware through stable software interfaces.
• Ensure test systems run predictably while meeting performance, coverage, and throughput targets.

• Develop pipelines to collect and store test data, logs, and system performance metrics.
• Implement monitoring, alerting, and fault detection across manufacturing software systems.
• Support root‑cause investigations for production disruptions and system failures.
• Improve long‑term system reliability, observability, and maintainability.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• Hands‑on engineering experience demonstrating independent project ownership and technical excellence.
• Strong programming skills in Python, C, and C++.
• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals.
• Experience developing and deploying software in Linux environments.
• Familiarity with automated testing, CI pipelines, and deployment workflows.

• Experience working with manufacturing equipment, instrumentation, or industrial control systems.
• Background designing software systems with strong observability and fault tolerance.
• Exposure to hardware‑focused, high‑volume production environments.
• Experience building long‑term maintainable software for physical systems.

• Opportunity to work on real‑world systems that directly impact manufacturing performance
• High ownership role with visibility across engineering, operations, and product teams
• Fast‑paced environment focused on continuous improvement and technical excellence
• Chance to help scale advanced manufacturing from early stages to high‑volume production
• Collaborative, engineering‑first culture
• Meaningful equity
• Top‑tier benefits
