Overview

Lutron is seeking an experienced Application Software Engineer for our Boston office to design and deliver software platforms that integrate embedded Linux devices, cloud services, and customer-facing applications. In this role you will support the lighting, shading, and smart home solutions used in millions of homes and commercial spaces worldwide. This role sits at the intersection of embedded systems and modern application development, where reliability, performance, and user experience matter equally.

In this role, you will:

• Own delivery of projects by converging decisions across multiple teams/disciplines.
• Develop and Unlock potential in others.
• Collaborate with our Product Managers, Software Architects, and Functional Area Owners and other parts of our company to develop solutions to problems.
• Apply emerging technologies to solve complex problems.

This role offers opportunities to grow into broader leadership, including influencing architecture, mentoring across teams, and shaping development practices.

Responsibilities

• Lead technical design and architectural decisions across application, cloud and embedded components.
• Translate real-world customer and device constraints into scalable software solutions.
• Drive cross-team technical alignment for features spanning firmware, embedded Linux, cloud services, and client applications.
• Balance long-term maintainability with near-term product delivery.
• Drive consensus with appropriate stakeholders.
• Mentor junior software engineers.
• Create system and software design documentation.
• Implement, unit-test, and integrate solutions in collaboration with multiple developers.
• Work with senior engineers to review solutions.
• Resolve technical issues, reported bugs and field issues in a timely manner.

Qualifications

• Bachelor or Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or Software Engineering.
• Minimum cumulative GPA 3.00 for all degrees earned.
• 5+ years of experience post academics.
• Solid foundation in Computer Science Fundamentals including Object Oriented Principles and Design Patterns.
• Demonstratable experience in one or more the following areas:
• Mobile applications: Kotlin (Android) or Swift (iOS)
• Desktop applications: C# and WPF
• Embedded systems: Embedded Linux using C++ or Go
• Cloud services: AWS (IoT, messaging, distributed service architectures)
• Web applications: React
• The ideal candidate would have:
• Experience developing software for connected devices, IoT platforms, or smart home systems.
• Comfortable working cross-functionally across engineering disciplines and product management.
• Demonstrated success leading software teams or projects.
• A passion for coaching and mentoring junior engineers.
• Proven troubleshooting skills across system boundaries, including diagnosing issues reported from field or customer environments.

Development Principles

• Teams own “Problems to Solve” - Teams own high level objectives, outlined by the business, and engineer the solution to solve these problems.
• Continuous Improvement. As we shorten our release cycles and deliver always-connected software solutions, we are building the infrastructure to listen to our customers through feedback and data. We practice SAFe/Agile Framework to ensure our teams are continuously improving and evolving with the needs of our customers.
• Failing Fast - We want an inclusive environment where learning is not impeded by our process and failing is a natural part of the process to learn what is right.

Salary and Benefits

Starting pay: $120,000- $160,000 per year; Lutron's employee benefits include 401k match, health, dental, and life insurance, paid vacation (amount based on tenure with the company), flexible spending accounts, and tuition reimbursement programs.
