About the role

We’re looking for a driven Software Engineer , Edge Platform to help build the software infrastructure behind Laminar’s edge computing platform. Working closely with our Senior Edge Platform Engineer, you’ll develop Linux-based software, automate system setup, and improve how applications are deployed and managed on edge devices and factory servers. We value engineers who are curious about how systems work, take initiative, and follow problems through to a working solution.

  • Experience programming in a language such as Python, Rust, C++, or Go, and familiarity with shell scripting
  • Understanding of networking fundamentals, including IP addressing, DNS, ports, and TCP/IP
More about this role

Machines learned to understand language. We’re teaching them to understand matter.

Forty percent of global manufacturing happens through physical and chemical processes inside pipes, tanks, and reactors. Despite decades of industrial automation, much of what happens inside them remains remarkably invisible. Manufacturing is the most ubiquitous and foundational sector in global economy, yet the way factories are fundamentally run have used the same control philosophies, manual operations, and legacy software for the past 60 years.

Laminar deploys state-of-the-art patented sensors and edge hardware directly into live production environments, generating data that didn’t previously exist to build foundation models deployed in factory floors that understand chemistry, composition, quality, and material state in real time. We use that understanding to run autonomy and rethink how things are made.

The last generation of industrial automation taught machines to execute instructions reliably. The next will teach them to understand the processes they control and run autonomously, adaptively, and agentically: higher quality, safety, more efficiently, sustainably, and productively.

That...
