our SW group is looking for a Software Tech Lead to lead the design and development of complex, high-performance software systems for a multidisciplinary semiconductor metrology tool.
In this role, you will work across the full software stack – from hardware interfaces and sequence control to application and reporting layers – while collaborating closely with system, optical, motion, and other engineering disciplines.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role for an experienced engineer who combines strong system-level thinking with the ability to drive architecture, lead complex features end-to-end, and mentor developers.
A key part of the role is leveraging modern AI tools for software development and helping the team adopt effective AI-driven engineering practices to improve quality, productivity, and development workflows.
Responsibilities:
Lead the design and development of complex system-level software features
Drive end-to-end technical ownership – from architecture and design through implementation, integration, validation, and maintainability
Develop software that interfaces with motion controllers, optical and laser subsystems, sensors, cameras, and additional hardware components
Work hands-on across multiple software layers while guiding technical decisions and design quality
Mentor developers and promote engineering best practices and high development standards
Introduce and drive adoption of AI-assisted development workflows within the team
Collaborate closely with system engineers, developers, QA, Product, and cross-functional stakeholders
Contribute to Agile team execution and support continuous improvement
