Bellows Falls, Vermont
The Manufacturing Software Engineer will be part of a small team responsible for the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of software that powers Chroma's advanced manufacturing, including optical thin film design, optical simulation, manufacturing control and automation, data collection and analysis. We are looking for applicants who use a blend of creativity and sound engineering to solve unique technical challenges.
You'll share ownership of a large collection of in-house applications and systems that are continually evolving to keep Chroma's manufacturing capabilities ahead of our competition's, and you'll be expected to make a big impact on their future direction. Chroma values strong relationships, so we are seeking someone available and excited for a long career with us.
We'll expect you to provide leadership in developing and implementing projects that rely on our custom software to advance our manufacturing capabilities, so you should be an effective project manager with outstanding communication skills. You'll also be part of advancing the software teams' own tools and processes, including AI usage and CI/CD tools. We want to see you thrive in a collaborative environment and enjoy learning from and training your colleagues.
We are seeking applicants with the following essential qualifications:

Chances are good that if you took a PCR test over the last few years, you've benefited from a Chroma filter. It's a fascinating industry, and our in-house software team covers portions of all our business processes, optical design, spectroscopy, thin-film coating and processing automation.
