## About the role

We are looking for a Software Engineer to join the Inspection Business Unit (IBU). Whether you are launching your career or bringing years of deep expertise, what matters most is how you think: we need someone who can hold a global, system-level view of a complex inspection platform—optics, mechanics, electronics, and software—and then zoom into any layer to get into the weeds when a problem demands it. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

- PhD, MS, or Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or related field
- Doctorate degree with 0+ years related experience, or Master's degree with 0+ years related experience, or Bachelor's degree with 0+ years related experience
- Demonstrated ability to reason about systems at multiple levels of abstraction—from high-level architecture down to implementation details
- Strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills, able to articulate complex system behavior clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Competency (or demonstrable coursework) in at least one numerically focused environment such as Python or MATLAB, including linear algebra, image processing, and/or machine learning libraries
- Competency (or demonstrable coursework) in at least one compiled or production language used in large-scale software systems, such as C++, C#, or Java
