AI Summary
Develops and troubleshoots production software and control systems for a diamond-wafer manufacturing line, working with Python, PLCs, and industrial protocols to optimize equipment performance and data collection.
About this role
Diamond Foundry Inc. is solving the thermal limitation at the foundation of today's most exciting tech industries -- AI & cloud compute, electric-car power electronics, and 5G/6G wireless. We have managed to produce the world's first single-crystal diamond wafers and are now on a mission to put a diamond behind every chip. We are the rare unicorn that has grown fast and profitably. We received $515m in funding and are executing a multi-$B expansion plan for one of the greenest forms of tech manufacturing: converting greenhouse gas into diamond wafers using zero-emission energy.
We are looking for a software & systems engineer to develop and troubleshoot applications for our manufacturing line. We have a spectrum of custom-built and off-the-shelf equipment that we want to interact with in a unique way to optimize data collection, operator input, and overall system efficiency. You'll be working with an experienced team of mechanical, electrical, and process engineers, both assisting senior engineers and taking responsibility for your own engineering projects. Your goal will be to achieve maximum productivity for our production line through improving data collection methods, programming devices, automating workflows, and communicating with different types of devices using various communication protocols.
This is not a cloud or web dev role—you’ll write production Python code to control equipment, then step onto the shop floor to wire, test, and physically troubleshoot hardware.
