We are seeking an experienced Edge Software Manager with a solid background in .NET/C# application development and C++ programming to lead our software team in building and managing Level 2 (L2) supervisory control and data systems for pharmaceutical manufacturing operations. This is a hands-on leadership role that combines deep technical expertise with team management skills to deliver high-quality, compliant, and high-performance software solutions.

The role bridges enterprise .NET application development and real-time/embedded C++ systems, ensuring seamless integration between L2 software layers, PLC/hardware interfaces, and manufacturing execution systems (MES). The incumbent will oversee the full development lifecycle - from architecture design and modernization of legacy systems to performance optimization and cross-team collaboration.

C. Primary Responsibilities

1. Team Leadership & Management

- Lead and manage a cross-functional team of .NET and C++ developers focused on L2 pharma manufacturing systems.
- Mentor junior and mid-level developers, foster a culture of technical excellence and collaboration.
- Conduct code reviews, enforce coding standards, and uphold software quality best practices.
- Plan sprints, assign tasks, and track delivery in agile/scrum workflows.

2. .NET Application Development

- Oversee design, development, and modernization of backend modules using .NET Core / .NET 6+.
- Architect and build RESTful APIs using ASP.NET Core Web API following SOLID and clean architecture principles.
- Drive migration of legacy WPF/WCF/.NET Framework systems to scalable, secure REST-based architectures.
- Support Docker-based containerization and cloud/on-premise deployments.
- Ensure implementation of unit testing (xUnit / NUnit / MSTest) and CI/CD pipelines.
- Leverage AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot) responsibly.

3. C++ / CUDA / Embedded Systems

- Lead development and optimization of C++ components for high-performance and real-time applications.




- Drive CUDA programming for GPU-based parallel computing tasks relevant to manufacturing data processing.
- Oversee software integration with embedded systems, PLCs, and hardware interfaces on Linux-based platforms.
- Ensure performance profiling and optimization of GPU-accelerated and multi-threaded applications.
- Collaborate with PLC/C++ hardware teams for seamless machine communication integration.

4. L2 Systems Architecture & Integration

- Design and govern the software architecture for L2 supervisory systems in pharma manufacturing.
- Ensure seamless data exchange between L2 software, MES, SCADA, and L1 device layers.
- Define integration protocols and APIs for device communication and data acquisition.
- Oversee performance, reliability, and security of manufacturing software systems.

5. Quality, Compliance & Documentation

- Ensure all software development aligns with pharma industry regulatory requirements (GMP, 21 CFR Part 11, etc.).
- Maintain comprehensive technical documentation for architecture, APIs, and integration interfaces.
- Support validation activities (IQ/OQ/PQ) for manufacturing software systems.

D. Key Result Areas

- On-time delivery of L2 software modules and modernized backend services.
- High-quality, unit-tested, and well-documented codebase.
- Smooth integration between .NET applications and C++/hardware layers.
- Improved system performance through CUDA/GPU optimization and profiling.
- Regulatory compliance of all delivered software in pharma manufacturing context.
- Team capability growth through active mentoring and technical leadership.

E. Required Skills & Experience
