Job Title
Principal Software Engineer, Lead
This role is currently hybrid/remote, with some travel expected
About the Job
We are looking for a principal-level engineer to help define a long-horizon technical roadmap in industrial software and adjacent systems. This role is for someone who wants to work on problems that are structurally important, technically non-obvious, and worth years of effort if they work.
What You'll Do
Drive high-risk, high-upside technical bets with long-term platform potential
Work with other senior engineers to identify where new abstractions unlock disproportionate value
Lead architecture and prototyping in areas such as system modeling, simulation, languages, or developer tooling
Shape software that can support future manufacturing categories, strategic materials efforts, and distributed operating models
Raise the technical ambition and quality bar across the organization
Required Qualifications
Deep experience designing and building complex software systems
Exceptional architectural judgment and comfort working from first principles
Ability to identify high-leverage technical problems before they are obvious
Track record of leading consequential technical work with incomplete requirements
Strong written and verbal communication with senior technical peers
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with simulation, modeling, compilers, languages, or formal system abstractions
Experience in industrial, robotics, infrastructure, or other software-for-physical-systems domains
History of building foundational technical capabilities, not just product features
Interest in hard technical problems with multi-year payoff
Familiarity with public-private initiatives, strategic supply-chain programs, or externally supported technical efforts
