About the Job

We are looking for a principal-level engineer to help define a long-horizon technical roadmap in industrial software and adjacent systems. This role is for someone who wants to work on problems that are structurally important, technically non-obvious, and worth years of effort if they work.

What You'll Do

  • Drive high-risk, high-upside technical bets with long-term platform potential

  • Work with other senior engineers to identify where new abstractions unlock disproportionate value

  • Lead architecture and prototyping in areas such as system modeling, simulation, languages, or developer tooling

  • Shape software that can support future manufacturing categories, strategic materials efforts, and distributed operating models

  • Raise the technical ambition and quality bar across the organization

Required Qualifications

  • Deep experience designing and building complex software systems

  • Exceptional architectural judgment and comfort working from first principles

  • Ability to identify high-leverage technical problems before they are obvious

  • Track record of leading consequential technical work with incomplete requirements

  • Strong written and verbal communication with senior technical peers

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with simulation, modeling, compilers, languages, or formal system abstractions

  • Experience in industrial, robotics, infrastructure, or other software-for-physical-systems domains

  • History of building foundational technical capabilities, not just product features

  • Interest in hard technical problems with multi-year payoff

  • Familiarity with public-private initiatives, strategic supply-chain programs, or externally supported technical efforts
