Staff Engineer, Software

Key responsibilitiesinclude, but are not exclusively:

• Design, develop, andmaintainPython-based Sherpa plugins to support configuration of camera systems in factory environments

• Implement andmaintaininterfaces with IOM and TSI components using Python to enable seamless communication between camera firmware and acquisition software

• Collaborate closely with camera firmware and acquisition server teams to ensure correct integration and functionality of tooling solutions

• Develop andmaintainreliable, user-friendly tooling that supports factory configuration, calibration, and setup workflows

• Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to tool functionality, hardware-software interaction, and configuration workflows

• Support integration of camera and detector systems within tooling environments, ensuring correct parameter handling and data exchange

• Maintain and enhance existing tooling solutions, ensuring stability, performance, and ease of use

• Contribute to development and maintenance ofadditionalinternal tools, including basic to intermediate development in C#

• Ensure proper documentation of tooling functionality, interfaces, and usage guidelines to support factory and engineering teams

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (software, hardware, systems, and production) to align tooling with operational requirements

• Apply basic algorithmic understanding to support implementation, validation, and troubleshooting of tooling features

• Support testing and validation of tools in both development and production-like environments

• Participate in code reviews and follow best practices for maintainable, clean, and testable code

• Identifyopportunities for automation and process improvement within factory tooling workflows

• Provide technical support to users of tooling solutions, including debugging and issue resolution

• Continuously improve tooling reliability, usability, and integration with upstream and downstream systems
