Mine Vision Systems (MVS) is dedicated to providing advanced workflow-integrated perception and automation systems which improve speed safety and productivity for the mining industry. We are a spinout from Carnegie Mellon Universitys National Robotics Engineering Center and are located in Pittsburghs East Liberty neighborhood. Following the successful product launch of our FaceCapture Mapping System we are in a growth mode and we are seeking a Senior Software Engineer with strong knowledge of cloud computing to join our team.
As a Senior Software Engineer (Cloud Computing) you will design build and refine the cloud infrastructure that powers advanced robotic systems in mining applications. This role blends cutting-edge cloud engineering with real-world impact enabling safer smarter and more efficient operations in one of the worlds most essential industries.
Youll work on challenging problems in distributed systems scalability and security while collaborating with an experienced team of engineers and product leaders. If you enjoy taking ownership shipping solutions and seeing your work deployed in the field this is the opportunity for you.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect and implement cloud computing systems that connect field-deployed robotic devices with our platform.
- Collaborate closely with engineering and product teams to ensure our cloud solutions meet customer needs in the mining industry.
- Ensure reliability and security by monitoring and improving cloud applications at scale.
- Test rigorously under diverse real-world conditions to validate performance and durability.
- Occasionally travel (5%) to customer sites to see your work in action.
