Software Engineer (Hybrid — Mayfield Heights, OH)
We’re working with a global Client in the industrial automation space that’s building the systems behind real-world manufacturing. This team sits at the intersection of software, hardware, and production — if you enjoy solving problems that actually impact how products get built, this is worth a look.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Build and improve manufacturing test systems used in live production environments
- Work across software and hardware to troubleshoot and fix real-world issues
- Enhance and maintain existing platforms (this is not a greenfield-only role)
- Support production teams when systems go down (Tier 2 support)
- Help simplify and standardize test platforms across products
- Tackle challenges around technical debt, data, and system reliability
- Collaborate with global teams in an Agile (SAFe) setup
- Use CI/CD practices to improve delivery and code quality
What They’re Looking For
- Strong programming experience in C#, C++, or Python
- Solid understanding of hardware + software interaction
- Experience with Windows-based development
- Comfortable troubleshooting integrated systems (not just writing code)
- Experience with Git / version control
- Familiarity with CI/CD and DevOps concepts
- Background working on high-reliability or safety-critical systems
Nice to Have (Not Required)
- Experience with hardware communication protocols (I2C, SPI, CIP)
- Exposure to PLC programming
- Familiarity with test environments like TestStand
- Experience with tools like Jira or Azure DevOps
- Knowledge of electronic or mechanical systems
What Makes This Role Different
This isn’t a typical software role. You’ll be working on systems that directly impact production — which means:
- Your work has immediate, visible impact
- You’ll solve real engineering problems, not just tickets
- You’ll get exposure to both code and physical systems

If you’re someone who enjoys hands-on problem solving and wants to work closer to real-world systems, this is a strong opportunity to step into something more impactful than a typical dev role.
