Junior Software Engineer, Edge Platform

Laminar is building human-centric self-driving factories through inline sensing, physics- and chemistry-grounded AI, and real-time process control software. The Junior Software Engineer, Edge Platform will build Linux-based software infrastructure, automate provisioning, support application deployment, integrate industrial communication protocols, improve platform reliability, and help run ML inference workloads on edge hardware.

What you'll do:

• Software Development: Build and maintain Linux services, scripts, and tools supporting our edge platform
• System Provisioning: Help automate the setup and configuration of edge computers and factory-deployed servers
• Application Deployment: Support packaging, testing, and deployment of applications using containers and virtual machines
• Industrial Connectors: Implement and test integrations for the industrial communication protocol our customers use, including Modbus TCP/IP, Profinet, OPC UA, CC-Link, and EtherNet/IP. You’ll work through your design with a senior engineer and own the implementation
• Platform Reliability: Contribute to software updates, logging, monitoring, and recovery capabilities for deployed systems
• Debugging & Testing: Investigate service failures, networking issues, and resource usage. Develop tests that improve reliability across deployment environments
• Edge AI Integration: Support the integration and testing of ML inference workloads on edge hardware
• Cross-Team Collaboration: Work with the senior engineer and broader engineering team to deliver features and resolve platform issues
• Documentation: Maintain clear setup instructions, technical documentation, and troubleshooting guides

What they're looking for:

• * High initiative and strong follow-through. You ask thoughtful questions, seek feedback, and take responsibility for your work
• * Ability to learn quickly and work successfully in a fast-paced team environment
• * Excellent communication and teamwork abilities
• * Good hands-on Linux experience, including the command line, permissions, processes, services, package management, and logs
