Software Engineer, Data Visualization

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain high-performance live charting and dashboards for kHz-class, high-channel-count sensor telemetry across test and production environments.
• Develop and integrate HMI/SCADA interfaces for monitoring, control, alarming, and operational visibility.
• Build real-time streaming UIs that stay responsive under load, and post-processing tools for cross-run comparison, derived signals, and campaign analysis.
• Define and champion modern software engineering practices, UI architecture, rendering standards, testing strategies, and operational best practices across the visualization stack.
• Work closely with data platform, controls, and test automation teams to consume streaming and time-series interfaces directly.
• Lead debugging, root cause analysis, and performance improvements across the full rendering-to-data stack.
• Basic Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience building real-time or data-intensive user interfaces.
• Strong, production-level experience in TypeScript/React (or equivalent) and Python.
• Hands-on experience with high-performance rendering and live data visualization, with a strong understanding of streaming data and UI performance under load.
• Experience with high-reliability, on-premise, 24/7 deployments in safety-critical environments.
• Preferred Skills and Experience
• Experience with HMI/SCADA platforms (e.g., Ignition) and dashboarding tools (e.g., Grafana).
• Experience with WebGL, canvas, or custom rendering for high-throughput, many-channel data.
• Experience with pub/sub and time-series interfaces (e.g., OPC-UA, MQTT).
• Background in high-performance HMI design for situational awareness and alarm management.
• Ability to work across the stack, including the data and streaming layers that feed visualization.
• Background in high-reliability or real-time environments (e.g., industrial automation, aerospace, energy, medical devices, finance/trading, gaming and real-time graphics).
• Demonstrated technical leadership in setting engineering standards, and building and mentoring high-performance engineering teams.
• Additional Requirements
• Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.
