Job description

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Software Engineer to join our product development team. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in C++ and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), with hands-on experience developing and enhancing complex systems. You will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining high-performance, reliable software that supports manufacturing operations

What You Will Do:

• Design, develop, and maintain moderate to highly complex applications using C++.
• Develop, enhance, and debug software modules and components.
• Apply strong OOP principles — encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction — to build maintainable and scalable systems.
• Design and implement concurrent, multi-threaded C++ software for real-time or high-throughput systems.
• Contribute to improving existing modules and reusable internal frameworks and libraries
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior team members.
• Participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to peers.
• Work with cross-functional and distributed teams to deliver integrated solutions
• Develop and maintain unit and integration tests.
• Contribute to CI pipelines and update them as required.
• Work with product owners to understand requirements and deliver solutions.
• Break down complex problems into manageable tasks.
• Continuously build product and domain knowledge.
• Stay current with evolving technologies and best practices.

What You Need:

• B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech in Computer Science or related field.
• 5+ years of professional C++ software development experience.
• Knowledge of software engineering concepts and techniques
• Strong mastery of Object-Oriented Programming with hands-on application of design patterns (Factory, Observer, Strategy, Singleton, Command) and SOLID principles.
• Solid understanding of multi-threading and concurrent programming in C++ with synchronization primitives (mutexes, semaphores, condition variables).
• Experience developing or integrating with MES or similar large-scale systems.
• Familiarity with thread and memory management concepts and best-known methods (BKMs).
• Proficiency in STL, Boost libraries, and modern C++ (C++11/14/17/20) features.
• Experience with memory management, performance profiling, and optimization techniques.
• Expertise in writing unit tests using frameworks such as Google Test (GTest) or CppUnit.
• Demonstrated ability to provide technical guidance and mentor junior team members.
• Proven ability to convert complex requirements into structured tasks.
• Experience working with stakeholders in cross-functional teams.
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools to improve productivity.
• Strong ability to critically evaluate, validate, and refine AI-generated outputs to ensure accuracy, relevance, and quality.
• Curiosity and passion for learning.

What Will Give You an Edge:

• Knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing operational practices
• Knowledge of equipment communication standards and protocols used in manufacturing systems.
• Experience with manufacturing workflows, process flows, and work order management.
• Familiarity with Python or scripting languages for automation and tooling.
• Experience with CMake or Makefile-based build systems and cross-platform builds.
• Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins).
• Experience with tools such as Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket.
• Experience with Agile methodologies.
