Senior Backend Software Engineer (Arsenal 2)

The role

You will build simulation and digital twin validation frameworks to verify manufactured output matches engineering intent. You will develop UE5-based 3D visualization interfaces and web applications for manufacturing verification.

What you will do

• Build web applications that orchestrate simulation frameworks, digital twin validation, and V&V automation workflows
• Develop UE5-based 3D visualization interfaces
• Partner with manufacturing engineers and factory operators to translate workflows into software requirements
• Write production-quality code with comprehensive tests
• Design and implement tooling to verify manufactured output matches engineering intent
• Build frontend and backend systems that integrate with simulation frameworks
• Develop automated V&V pipelines for integration tests and compliance verification
• Deploy and operate systems in factory environments, including edge compute clusters and OT networks
• Architect data pipelines connecting CAD models, PLM data, and real-time factory sensors
• Build responsive web interfaces for V&V dashboards and reporting

Required qualifications

• 6+ years of experience in a software engineering role building production systems
• Deep expertise in web development and backend systems
• Technical fluency in modern software architectures, APIs, distributed systems, CI/CD, and cloud or edge infrastructure
• Proficiency with backend web-based technologies including JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Go, etc.
• Experience with real-time 3D engines (Unreal Engine, Unity) or advanced 3D visualization frameworks (Three.js, Babylon.js, WebGL)
• Experience building systems that must operate reliably under real-world operational constraints
• Strong understanding of 3D graphics, rendering pipelines, and data visualization for complex geometric or spatial data
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• U.S. Person status is required

Nice to have

• Experience in manufacturing, industrial, or OT-adjacent domains (MES, SCADA, PLC integration, factory automation, IoT)
• Hands-on experience with Unreal Engine 5 (or Unity) for industrial visualization, digital twin applications, or non-gaming applications
• Experience building verification and validation (V&V) systems, test automation frameworks, or quality management software
• Background in computational geometry, CAD/CAM systems, or visualizing and comparing 3D geometric data
• Experience with simulation frameworks (OMNeT++, Simulink, SimPy, Gazebo, CARLA)
• Familiarity with frontier AI tooling, AI coding assistants, and AI-enabled software development workflows
• Experience in hyper-growth startup-like environments
• Familiarity with enterprise systems such as ERP, MES, WMS, PLM, or requirements management tools
• Experience with real-time data visualization, WebSocket-based architectures, or streaming data into 3D visualization engines
• Experience in manufacturing industries with hands-on exposure to assembly lines or production environments

Benefits

• Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees

Before you apply

• U.S. Person status is required
• Eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance
