Software Engineer - Manufacturing Data Platform & Automation

Required 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.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building internal tools, dashboards, or data platforms for a hardware or manufacturing organization, particularly with an OSAT, contract manufacturer, or FATP partner.
• Exposure to semiconductor, photonics/optics, or electro-mechanical manufacturing, and familiarity with terms such as BOM, ECO, wafer test, OSAT, FATP, and yield.
• ETL and workflow orchestration experience (Airflow, Prefect, Dagster, or equivalent) and scheduled job design.
• Statistical process control fundamentals (Cp, Cpk, control charts) and experience with JMP, Minitab, or Python statistics libraries.
• Experience with BOM/MRP-style data structures: multi-supplier component tracking, price-history logging, and automated cost roll-ups.
• Dashboarding and reporting tools (Power BI, Tableau, Plotly/Dash, Grafana, Metabase) and automated report or email generation.
• Cloud deployment (AWS, Azure, or GCP), Docker, Git-based workflows, and basic CI/CD.
• Experience moving data reliably across sites and international network boundaries, including partner sites in Asia.
• Experience training end users and driving adoption of an internally built tool across a cross-functional organization..
