Job Description

Summary

This position is responsible for designing highly complex modules, critical components or a whole application/product in its entirety for key strategic physical-digital projects that bring technologies such as inspection, BOT, deep learning for industrial applications. Has the vision to integrate it across multiple systems. This position works independently and is seen as a technical leader. The position is responsible for driving the design and development efforts with hands on design/coding requirement when needed as related to architecture, scalability, availability and performance in alignment with the product/application roadmap.

Roles and Responsibilities
In this role, you will:

• Be responsible for providing technical leadership and defining, developing, and evolving software in a fast paced and agile development environment using the latest software development m and infrastructure for physical-digital projects such as inspection, deep learning and AI projects.
• Provide guidance to developers with either planning and execution and/or design architecture using agile methodologies such as SCRUM and be ready to take on hands-on work when needed.
• Work with Product Line Leaders (PLLs) to understand product requirements & vision
• Drive increased efficiency across the teams, eliminating duplication, leveraging product and technology reuse
• Capture system level requirements by brainstorming with CTO, Sr. Architects, Data Scientists, Businesses & Product Managers
