Job description

Why Work at Ross Video? We have a great group of people working together to create and deliver cutting edge products that look amazing and are easy to use. We go all out so that our customers can have the best possible experience and achieve quality results. With a product focus, continual learning, results driven processes, and creative thinking, we constantly strive to improve our solutions and to deliver results. If you've ever watched live television, news, sports, or entertainment, you've seen our products in use. All of the major Hollywood award shows, most professional sports teams, and many of the largest broadcasters in the world use Ross Video technology. Get behind the scenes and learn about what it takes to make live events possible. If that resonates, and you’re someone with integrity, commitment, and a strong drive to deliver great products, we’d love to hear from you.

This position is located at our Manufacturing Facility, in Iroquois, ON.

Ross Video’s Manufacturing Systems team is driving the digital transformation of our manufacturing operations. Our goal is to simplify decisions, reduce waste, and unlock new levels of efficiency through data and software. We’re looking for builders who want to work in manufacturing and can turn ideas into supported tools. You’ll spend your time both at a computer and on the factory floor: learning how production works, listening to real users, and helping create tools that drive efficiency, and insight. Some of what you build will talk to machines, some to databases, and some to people. This is a technical role, but it’s also collaborative. You’ll need curiosity, initiative, and the ability to communicate with non-technical users who aren’t always sure what they need but know what’s broken. Over time, you’ll grow from factory-focused development into broader ERP and business system integrations.

Who you report to: Vice President, Manufacturing Engineering & Technology

What the job is all about

• Develop, purchase, and integrate software applications that interface with manufacturing equipment to facilitate automation and data collection (e.g., test stations, vision systems, automation).
• Create dashboards, UIs, and alerts that improve visibility into factory performance.
• Write SQL, scripts, and services that connect ERP, MES, and various production systems.
• Shadow other staff members, attend engineering meetings, walk the production floor, ask questions, and build solutions that increase manufacturing performance.
• Work in modern development workflows (Git, Python, SQL, APIs, small web apps).
• Own the testing, roll-out, support, and bug fixing for what you built.
• Collaborate with senior developers, process engineers, and production staff to scope and plan.

Who you are

Experience & Education

• 2–5 years of development experience (ideally supporting operations, factory systems, test tooling, or similar).
• Degree or diploma in Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• Familiarity with factory systems like MES, PLM, or ERP is a bonus.

Technical Skills

• Strong Python and SQL skills
• Comfort with basic web development (HTML/JS; React/Dash/Plotly a plus)
• Experience building tools for non-technical users (UIs, dashboards, utilities)
• Understanding of APIs, relational databases, and Git workflows
• Experience working with or near physical systems (bonus if you’ve done test automation or factory integration work)

Mindset & Traits

• You enjoy working directly with others.
• You’re curious about how manufacturing works; machines, people, constraints, systems.
• You’re great at figuring things out.
• You ask great questions, listen well, and propose clean, practical solutions.
• You document and test your work.
• You take ownership: if it breaks, you fix it.
• You’d rather make something reliable than something flashy.

Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

At Ross, we embrace diversity, and we want you to bring your authentic self to work. We are committed to building a team that includes a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. Inclusivity drives innovation and creativity, and that’s something we’re passionate about at Ross! We believe everyone should be able to enjoy a rewarding career at Ross, regardless of race, colour, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, marital status, age, veteran status, physical or mental disability. If a disability means that you need any additional support during the recruitment process, please contact Talent Acquisition and we will make all reasonable efforts to accommodate your request.
