Join us in revolutionizing industrial automation through our Open Controls Architecture (OCA) initiative.
What is OCA?
OCA combines standardized computing hardware with AWS Cloud services, seamlessly integrating with industry-leading automation platforms. This innovative solution modernizes traditional PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) development without requiring a complete architectural overhaul.
The Challenge We're Solving:
Traditional industrial automation relies on proprietary PLC systems, each requiring manufacturer-specific programming environments. This fragmentation results in inconsistent testing methodologies across platforms, time-intensive on-site development, limited code reusability, and restricted collaboration capabilities.
Our Solution:
OCA brings modern software development practices to industrial automation by introducing automated testing pipelines, streamlined deployment processes, advanced monitoring systems, robust rollback capabilities, and version control integration.
Key Benefits:
We're transforming industrial automation by significantly reducing manual testing and deployment efforts. OCA enables enhanced remote collaboration capabilities while improving code quality through systematic testing. Teams experience greater software reliability, maintainability, and faster development cycles.
By bridging the gap between traditional PLC programming and modern software development practices, OCA is transforming how industrial automation solutions are developed, tested, and deployed.
Key job responsibilities
This initiative acts like a fast paced, highly collaborative start up-like environment inside Amazon. To be successful you need to be flexible and entrepreneurial. You are a true owner - you are hands on and you lead by example. You acquire expertise as needed, iterate and adapt your approach as you learn more. You are deeply interested in pragmatic problem solving as well as taking risks in pioneering brand new areas. You create extendable design and easy to maintain technical solution with the long term vision in mind. You will hold the high bar in software development in our org and lead other experienced developers with revolutionary design and experiments.
A day in the life
As a Senior Engineer you will be expected to:
- Serve as a technical lead on our most demanding projects
- Functionally decompose complex problems into simple, straight-forward solutions
- Fully understand system inter-dependencies and limitations
- Own the road-map and solution architecture across multiple technology teams working on building the next generation of robotic solutions
- Coordinate and prioritize team activities according with requirements from key Customers
About the team
Your first question will be: what tech stack are you using?
For web development, back-end is written in either Python or Rust, and front-end in TypeScript/React.
For embedded development, we use Rust.- 5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 5+ years of programming with at least one software programming language experience
- 5+ years of leading design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
- Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
- 5+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience- Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
- Experience building complex software systems that have been successfully delivered to customers
- Experience building web and/or embedded applications in Rust
