Job summary

Lyte in Sunnyvale, CA is seeking a hands-on software engineer to own the internal data platform for manufacturing operations. You will build a web‑based internal portal, backed by a unified database and automated data pipelines, giving engineering, operations, and supply chain a single place to find, analyze, and act on production data.

This end‑to‑end role involves owning the data model, the pipelines, the API, the front end, and the users, working directly with hardware, test, and operations

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent hands-on project experience.
• 2+ years building web applications end to end: a modern front-end framework (React, Vue, or Angular) backed by a REST API (Node.js, Flask, FastAPI, or Django). This is the core of the role.
• Strong Python, plus JavaScript or TypeScript, with demonstrated experience writing automation scripts, data-processing jobs, and data-visualization code.
• Solid SQL and relational data modeling – designing schemas, writing non-trivial queries, and integrating data from multiple source systems.
• Practical understanding of authentication, role-based access control, and web application security, sufficient to administer a multi-user internal tool holding confidential cost and supplier data.
• Strong written and verbal communication. You will gather requirements directly from engineers and operations staff across multiple sites and time zones and translate them into working software.
• Self-directed and comfortable owning a system end to end with minimal supervision, with high attention to detail and sound judgment handling confidential company, supplier, and cost data.

Responsibilities

• Develop a web application (front end plus REST API) that lets users search, filter, and pull data across device, optical engine, component, and system-level databases.
• Implement authentication, role-based access control, and tiered data visibility so that cost, supplier, and yield data is seen only by those authorized to see it.
• Act as the platform administrator – manage users and permissions, monitor uptime, handle backups and data retention, and maintain documentation.
• Build and maintain automated pipelines that ingest test, process, and yield data from in-house stations and from external OSAT, CM, and FATP partners into a central store.
• Handle the realities of manufacturing data: file-based drops (CSV, log, Excel), inconsistent formats between suppliers, late or duplicate data, schema drift, and unreliable cross-site network links.
• Design a data model supporting unit-level traceability – serial number, lot, station, timestamp, test limits, and revision – so any unit can be traced end to end.
• Add validation and monitoring so missing, stale, or out-of-spec data is flagged automatically rather than discovered weeks later.
• Build auto-grading and binning of components against engineering-defined criteria from test data.
• Provide flexible correlation and data-mining tools with configurable charting, so engineers can explore relationships across parameters without writing code.
• Automate recurring weekly reports, dashboards, and presentation exports, delivered on schedule to the right distribution lists.
• Support process capability and yield analysis (Cp, Cpk, trend and control charts) and expose it in the dashboard for yield projection.
• Build standard web forms for BOM entry, BOM shipment forms, and other structured input, replacing today’s ad-hoc spreadsheets.
• Track multiple approved suppliers per component, including price history and price adjustments over time, and automate BOM cost roll-up and overall production cost calculation.
• Track inventory against build plan and projected BOM consumption, and automatically alert the responsible owner when a component is projected short.
• Work directly with engineering, test, operations, and supply-chain stakeholders across multiple sites and time zones to gather requirements and prioritize new features.
• Train users, write clear documentation, and drive adoption of the platform across the organization.
