Junior Software Engineer, Edge Platform

About the role

Machines learned to understand language. We’re teaching them to understand matter.

Forty percent of global manufacturing happens through physical and chemical processes inside pipes, tanks, and reactors. Despite decades of industrial automation, much of what happens inside them remains remarkably invisible. Manufacturing is the most ubiquitous and foundational sector in global economy, yet the way factories are fundamentally run have used the same control philosophies, manual operations, and legacy software for the past 60 years.

Laminar deploys state-of-the-art patented sensors and edge hardware directly into live production environments, generating data that didn’t previously exist to build foundation models deployed in factory floors that understand chemistry, composition, quality, and material state in real time. We use that understanding to run autonomy and rethink how things are made.

The last generation of industrial automation taught machines to execute instructions reliably. The next will teach them to understand the processes they control and run autonomously, adaptively, and agentically: higher quality, safety, more efficiently, sustainably, and productively.

That future is already taking shape. Today, Laminar works with 7 of the world’s 10 largest food and beverage manufacturers and operates across hundreds of factories globally across six continents. Our systems have materially reduced waste, cut manufacturing downtime, saved water, chemicals, energy, and helped prevent safety and quality failures. Our technology has gained international recognition, from being selected as a 2026 World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer, Gold 2026 Edison Award, Unilever Startup of the Year, to Innovator Awards by both Coca-Cola and AB InBev, and more.

We are backed by tier-one investors in physical AI to make intelligent, self-improving production the new standard for industry.

Join us to build what makes matter intelligible, and the intelligible controllable.

The Role We’re looking for a driven Software Engineer, Edge Platform to help build the software infrastructure behind Laminar’s edge computing platform. Working closely with our Senior Edge Platform Engineer, you’ll develop Linux-based software, automate system setup, and improve how applications are deployed and managed on edge devices and factory servers. We value engineers who are curious about how systems work, take initiative, and follow problems through to a working solution. You’ll take ownership of well-defined components while building the skills to tackle increasingly complex engineering challenges.

What You Will 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.
