Senior Software Engineer

Be part of an unique growth story!
Airborne Composites Automation (ACA), is looking for an experienced Software Engineer. We are a fast growing company which develops end-to-end automation and digitalization solutions to change how composites parts are manufactured. We have a suite of standard automated systems to improve the production quality and output, but also design bespoke solutions for specific customer needs.

What is your new job?

In this role you work within multidisciplinary project teams to solve some of the most complex challenges in composite manufacturing. Within these teams you represent software and plan, design, implement and deploy automation solutions.

With a maturing product portfolio, you get the opportunity to lay the technical foundation of those products. You help craft the engineering vision, own the technical landscape and develop applications that grow with our organization. You ship software as often as possible as you believe incremental learning is of the utmost importance. As a senior you mentor your fellow software engineers with on-the-job training and guidance.

What are you working on?

We have created several software solutions responsible for driving composite production machines, facilitating work preparation and handling the data output generated by our robotic systems. We are currently in the process of unifying these solutions into one product and focus lies on designing a stable and maintainable code base with a low amount of technical debt.

Our products are Python based, making use of libraries like Shapely, matplotlib, ezdxf etc. You will not only provide the functionality and intelligence but are able to deliver a functioning application. Most applications are web-based projects and depending on the requirements use frameworks like Django, PyQt, and aiohttp. Frontend development is a sometimes necessary but minimal part of the job.

You are responsible for:

• Working on the architectural level. Applying best practices and keeping team members accountable.
• Taking initiative to address the larger technical needs required for our systems.
• Keeping track of the current technical solutions.
• Collaborate within the software team to improve our way of working.

Reporting Lines and Interactions

You will report to the Team Lead Software. You will work together with your colleagues in the business unit (Project Management, Mechanical-, Automation-, Process Engineering), Airborne’s partners, colleagues in Airborne UK, suppliers, and customers. You will guide and mentor the fellow engineers in the software team.
