The Team
We're a global R&D; / Innovation team across the Middle East, Asia, and Europe, building the next generation of software-defined automation (SDA). We close the gap between today's automation systems and tomorrow's open, software-defined plants, turning emerging standards and technologies into solutions that matter. IT/OT convergence is at the heart of everything we build.
The Role
You'll join a team of automation and software engineering experts. You'll design and build proofs of concept (PoCs) that fill technology gaps and deliver solutions to critical customer needs. You'll work across both IT and OT systems. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who loves turning bold ideas into high-impact, real-world innovations.
What You'll Do
• Architect and build PoCs and Engineered Solutions across control, edge, and IT layers
• Own software architecture and technical design decisions for SDA solutions
• Develop solutions, APIs, and product plugins in Python and C#, and containerize them
• Build AI agents and automated workflows, and apply AI across design, coding, and testing




• Co-own the team's lab infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines (servers, devices, networking)
• Review code, mentor engineers, and establish engineering practices
• Evaluate emerging technologies and standards, and turn findings into actions
• Write tests, verify and validate solutions, and present results with clear documentation

Must-Have
• Bachelor's in Computer Science, Software, Computer Engineering, or a related field
• 8+ years in software development, expert in Python or C#/.NET, fluent in the other
• Solid software design skills: architecture, design patterns, REST APIs, and automated testing
• Strong DevOps skills: Docker, CI/CD pipelines, Git, and infrastructure automation
• Comfortable in IT environments: Windows/Linux servers, virtualization, TCP/IP networking
• Hands-on experience applying secure-by-design principles in IT/OT environments
• A explicit communicator and mentor who can
