Staff C++ Software Engineer

We are seeking a Staff C++ Software Engineer to help develop the real-time software systems powering our next-generation metal 3D printing platforms. In this role, you will work at the intersection of software, controls, automation, and advanced manufacturing to create highly reliable machine control solutions that directly impact production performance and print quality

This is a hands-on engineering role focused on real-world hardware integration, high-performance software architecture, and intelligent automation in a fast-paced R&D and production environment

Design and develop real-time machine control software for proprietary industrial 3D printing systems

Build robust multithreaded applications in modern C++ for motion control, automation, and machine orchestration

Develop and maintain operator-facing GUI applications for machine monitoring, diagnostics, and control

Create simulation and modeling tools to validate machine behavior, optimize performance, and improve system reliability

Design calibration routines, fault detection logic, and automated maintenance workflows to maximize print consistency and uptime

Collaborate cross-functionally with controls, electrical, mechanical, systems, and manufacturing engineers to integrate software with complex mechatronic systems

Support commissioning, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement efforts on production hardware

Contribute to software architecture, code quality standards, CI/CD workflows, and engineering best practices- Experience developing multithreaded and/or real-time software applications

Familiarity with build systems and tooling such as CMake

Strong proficiency in modern C++ (C++11 or newer)

Ability to lawfully access information and technology subject to U.S. export controls

Strong debugging, problem-solving, and systems-level thinking skills
