ABOUT THE ROLE

At Bright Machines, we are transforming the future of manufacturing with intelligent, software-driven automation. Our applications help designers create products that are optimized for automated assembly, making factories more efficient and effective.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will design, build, and integrate user-facing tools and commands that simplify complex workflows for CAD designers and DFX engineers. You’ll focus on developing intuitive, interactive applications that bridge design intent with manufacturability requirements. Working closely with teammates in our San Francisco office, you will define, implement, and deliver software to clients that directly impacts how products are conceived, designed, and built.
This is a unique opportunity to be part of a greenfield development effort that will change the way companies build and produce products. If you’re ready to apply exceptional engineering practices and build software that will define the next generation in manufacturing, this is your opportunity to “Be Bright”.
