Job Description
The Role:
The ARC Robotics Strategy & Virtual Systems team is dynamic and fast-paced team responsible for designing and developing Digital Twin applications for manufacturing plants across the world. A Software Engineer on the Digital Twin team will design build and scale core services SDKs and high-performance 3D runtime components that power immersive digital twins across products factories and operations. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys owning features end-to-end: from schema and API design through front-end implementation and production deployment.
What Youll Do (Responsibilities)
- Deliver scoped features end-to-end (requirements implementation testing deployment and observability) with guidance from senior engineers and architects.
- Write high-quality maintainable code; participate in code reviews; and follow secure development and clean code practices.
- Build and integrate 3D modules (e.g. rendering simulation physics spatial indexing) with platform services via well-designed APIs and data contracts.
- Work across the stack using tools like modern front-end frameworks (e.g. React or similar) TypeScript/JavaScript and services-oriented backends (e.g. Python Java or C#).
- Build and iterate on web-based playback and visualization tools that rely on WebRTC WebSockets and streaming media pipelines to deliver simulation replays.
- Work with databases and storage systems to organize simulation outputs logs and artifacts for fast retrieval and inspection.
- Integrate with cloud services data streams and enterprise systems (telemetry/IoT PLM/CAD MES analytics) to keep twins up-to-date and interactive.
- Contribute to engineering best practices: CI/CD automated testing performance profiling documentation and reliability/observability metrics.
Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)
- Bachelors degree in computer science/engineering or related field.
