IGNITE Software Engineer

This role is part of the EDGE IGNITE PROGRAM for graduates. The responsibilities include:

• Designing, developing, integrating, and testing software components using C++ (Qt framework), Python, and Java across backend, frontend, and Human-Machine Interface (HMI) applications.
• Contributing to the development of software libraries for communication with external devices, algorithms, and AI/image processing modules.
• Supporting the research, implementation, and optimization of image processing algorithms using both classical methods and modern AI/ML-based approaches.
• Assisting in the design, testing, and validation of AI models, including dataset preparation, annotation, training, and evaluation.
• Participating in field tests, providing input on data collection requirements, assisting in data handling, and supporting real-time software validation.
• Developing, maintaining, and updating technical documentation including design specifications, test procedures, and research findings.
• Staying updated on emerging technologies in software engineering, AI, and image processing, and contributing innovative ideas during team discussions.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams (hardware, optics, systems engineering) to ensure seamless integration of software with other system components.

Requirements:

• Internship or academic project experience in software development, algorithms, or AI is a plus.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Proficiency in C++ (preferably Qt framework) and Python for application and algorithm development.
• Familiarity with MATLAB and Java for additional coding, prototyping, and testing.
• Understanding of object-oriented programming, software architecture, and version control (Git).
• Basic knowledge of frontend/backend development and GUI design.
• Exposure to AI/ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, OpenCV) is desirable.
• Strong problem-solving skills and interest in algorithm development and image processing.
• Comfortable working with both Windows and Linux development environments.
• Ability to debug, test, and validate code effectively.
• Good communication skills, willingness to learn, and ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team.
