We move quickly, ship continuously, and turn real factory needs into production-ready products.

What You'll Do

• Build and improve internal tools, dashboards, and automation systems that support factory operations
• Contribute to backend services, APIs, and data pipelines used across engineering, operations, and quality teams
• Help design and implement features that improve visibility into production workflows, capacity, and program status
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including operations, program management, and quality to understand requirements and deliver software solutions
• Write clean, well-tested code and participate in code reviews
• Surface technical risks and contribute to architectural discussions

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Prior internship or project experience shipping production software
• Interest in manufacturing systems, automation, or industrial software

What You'll Gain

• Hands-on experience building software for a high-growth, mission-driven industrial company
