Job summary

fab2, an early-stage hardware startup in Austin, TX, seeks a Software Engineer to build the software behind fab2's hardware manufacturing operation. You will create systems that turn messy physical workflows into simple, scalable software and own critical parts of the production platform.

Join a hands-on team building robots, actuators, boards, and the manufacturing stack, with close collaboration to engineers and technicians on the floor to ship production-ready tooling.

Qualifications

• Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience shipping production applications.
• Full-stack ability across frontend, backend, databases, and system design.
• Ability to turn complex real-world workflows into simple, useful software.
• Strong product instincts and willingness to work directly with engineers and technicians on the floor.
• Effective with AI coding tools while still able to read, write, debug, and reason about code independently.
• Strong technical communication and a high degree of ownership.

Responsibilities

• Own our internal hardware manufacturing platform and work directly with engineers and technicians to shape how it should work.
• Design the systems behind BOMs, parts, revisions, serial numbers, and hardware traceability.
• Develop the tools technicians use to turn engineering designs into assembly steps, test procedures, and completed work.
• Create test workflows that capture acceptance criteria and results for each part or assembly.
• Build inventory and purchasing systems that show what we have, what we need, and what's blocking a build.
• Tie design, inventory, build, and test data together so hardware can be traced from drawing to finished assembly.
