Computing Engineer/Software Developer -AI/ML, GUI Development, Custom Cobot Control - Pinellas Park, FL, USAThe OpportunityCustom Manufacturing & Engineering, Inc. (CME) is looking for a
Software Engineer to develop custom collaborative robot (cobot) control integrations, artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) applications, and related GUIs for advanced manufacturing and inspection environments. You'll work with cobots (UR eSeries and others), simulation platforms (NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Gazebo/ROS2), and cutting-edge AI/ML tools to create scalable solutions that improve manufacturing automation and product quality.
What You'll Do- Internally develop and/or support iterative enhancements to new in-house software applications/tools for business and technical operations.
- Full-stack development duties for an AI and machine learning role, deploying, scaling, and integrating machine learning models into user-facing applications.
- Develop and deploy ML models (e.g., LLMs, CNNs, GANs, ResNets) for deep learning in support of computer vision, inspection data, and ERP/operations use cases and improvements; or for engineering development/R&D in field of robotics and unmanned systems/drones.
- System Integration: Design, develop, and maintain robust API interfaces connecting internal AI/ML platforms with external enterprise software (e.g., ERP systems and security platforms like Microsoft Defender for Endpoint API, CrowdStrike Falcon API, or other API developer needs/opportunities).
- Data Pipeline Automation: Build scalable pipelines to ingest, transform, and sync data between ML models and third-party enterprise APIs.
- Design and implement cobot applications, multi-cobot workstations, and simulation environments.
- Build scalable GUIs and reusable software components for data pipelines and manufacturing dashboards.
- Analyze and optimize code for performance, reliability, and maintainability.
- Collaborate across engineering, manufacturing, and management teams to deliver end-to-end solutions.
- Support or lead small team technical proposals and provide guidance to peers on advanced automation and ML projects.
What You Bring- Education: Bachelor's in Computer Science, Computer/Software Engineering, Data Science, or related field.
- Experience: 1-4 years programming in environments such as the following:
- Core Programming Languages: Python (Advanced), C++, R, Java.
- ML/AI Frameworks & Libraries: PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, Hugging Face Transformers.
- Data Processing & Databases: Pandas, NumPy, Apache Spark, SQL, PostgreSQL.
- MLOps & Deployment: Docker, Kubernetes, MLflow, AWS (SageMaker), GCP (Vertex AI).
- Version Control & Collaboration: Git, GitHub, GitLab, Jira.
- Strong background in scalable software design, API development, and testing practices.
- Familiarity with data science.
- Bonus: Experience with recommendation systems, pattern recognition, or large-scale software architectures.
Why CME?- Work on mission-critical projects across defense, aerospace, industrial, and energy markets.
- Join a collaborative, fast-moving engineering team where your impact is visible.
- Enjoy a 4-day work week (most weeks) and a culture guided by CME's 5 Core Values: Resolves Problems, Professionalism, Challenges Themselves, Delivers, and Serves the Customer - Protects CME.
