ABOUT THE ROLE

Software Engineers at Bright Machines are responsible for defining and implementing the systems that make Software Defined Manufacturing possible and that power our micro factories (lines of robotic cells). Our robots, and the software that controls them, are deployed in a variety of factory conditions and help support the manufacturing operations for some of the biggest names in the industry.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will design, create, and integrate off the shelf MES components into scalable systems that help our users operate in our factory. You will work on a team with other Software Engineers in the Bright Machines San Francisco office to define, architect, implement, and deploy our software stack – from robot to cloud.
This is a unique opportunity to be part of a greenfield development effort that will change the way companies build and produce products. If you’re ready to apply exceptional engineering practices and build the software that will define the next generation in manufacturing, this is your opportunity to “Be Bright”.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING:
• Implement and deploy Dassault Apriso MES to support Bright Machines’ manufacturing operations
• Configure and extend Apriso and build integrations with enterprise and automation systems
• Develop and validate MES workflows to ensure reliable execution of manufacturing processes
• Partner with other software teams, operations, IT, and vendors to deliver MES solutions
• Troubleshoot and optimize MES performance and data accuracy in production environments

WHAT YOU WILL BRING:
• B.S. or M.S. degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Engineering, Manufacturing, or a related field
• 5+ years of experience implementing or supporting MES or manufacturing software systems
• Strong understanding of manufacturing execution, shop-floor workflows, and system integration
• Ability to work across diverse compute environments (Windows, Linux, on-prem, cloud)
• Experience interfacing with manufacturing hardware or industrial data sources

IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU HAD:
• Hands-on experience with Dassault Apriso or comparable MES platforms
• Experience working directly with manufacturing users and process owners
• Working knowledge of system delivery best practices including testing, deployment, and production support
