Open West Lafayette software jobs

Summary

Leads the build-out of autonomous experimental workflows in a university manufacturing and materials research laboratory, with the stated goal of a nearly fully autonomous lab within three years that is wired into cloud-based simulation and metadata capture tools alongside the AI/ML and digital team. Day to day the job mixes hands-on design, fabrication and implementation of lab automation with operating equipment for internal and external users and mentoring postdocs, graduate and undergraduate students. Purdue will not sponsor employment authorization for this position, and a background check is required.

US citizenship required; offered at locations including Pullman, WA, several Idaho sites and West Lafayette, IN.

Summary

Senior software engineering role building applications and embedded Linux software for advanced analytical instrumentation, spanning instrument control, user interfaces, data processing and analytical algorithms. The embedded half is substantial - Yocto and BitBake, Linux kernel and driver development, device trees, U-Boot and update frameworks such as SWUpdate - alongside C# and .NET application work, with C, C++ and optionally Rust. US citizenship is required with no sponsorship or work-visa candidates accepted at any point, and the role must be able to obtain a US government security clearance if required.

Summary

Application and embedded software development for advanced analytical instrumentation, covering instrument control, data acquisition, user interfaces and analytical processing across the full development lifecycle. The core requirement is C# and .NET with object-oriented design and about five years of experience; embedded Linux with Yocto, Blazor, GraphQL, WebSockets and Docker are listed as preferred rather than required. US citizenship is required with no sponsorship or work-visa candidates accepted, and the role must be able to obtain a US government security clearance if required.

Summary

Front-end and full-stack web development for a university engineering college's communications team, designing, coding, testing and maintaining responsive sites and applications with HTML5, CSS3 and Sass, modern JavaScript, Bootstrap and Python backend scripts and templates, and integrating data from backend APIs, services and databases. A substantial part of the seat is conceiving, coding and testing accessible responsive HTML marketing emails and templates through to campaign deployment, alongside ongoing content update requests and technical documentation for faculty and staff. All deliverables must meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility and university brand guidelines, and the role involves hands-on work with legacy web systems such as Zope.

Summary

Sits in a Controls System Simulation team and centres on electronics hardware circuit design for Hardware-in-the-Loop real-time simulators used to test and verify aero engine control and monitoring systems across the full product lifecycle. Alongside the circuit work the role develops software controls for hardware integration, performs requirements-based decomposition and traceability, runs trade and tolerance studies, and compiles design assurance results into reports for certifying authorities. U.S. citizenship is required, the position is five days a week onsite, and travel runs up to 20 percent between sites plus about 10 percent elsewhere.

Summary

Embedded controls software seat on a multidisciplinary team that develops, tests and continuously integrates the hardware and software test environment used to develop and qualify electronic engine control software and to run hardware-in-the-loop investigations. Involvement spans the full project lifecycle, from concept development through integrated and component testing to final production release and maintenance, working in project teams alongside other engineering branches. The stated expectations are strong development experience, familiarity with designing and developing embedded software solutions, knowledge of software design patterns, software-to-hardware and software-to-software integration and component-level testing, the design-to-release software lifecycle and software testing frameworks; the post is hybrid out of West Lafayette.

Summary

Supply chain business analyst in an automotive plant's materials management organization, acting as liaison between supply chain operations and IT. Builds and maintains reports, dashboards, data models and ETL processes in Power BI, SQL and Palantir, and supports supply chain system implementations, upgrades, testing and end-user training. Also analyzes logistics, inventory, warehouse and material-flow processes and leads continuous improvement work using methods such as Kaizen and PDCA.

Summary

In-house application developer in the IT department of an automotive assembly plant, working across the full software life cycle to build and maintain business applications. Gathers requirements with plant management and business users, writes and unit-tests code, designs database changes with the DBAs, and maintains and upgrades existing applications. Also supports continuous improvement work and produces ad hoc reports and data extracts.

Summary

Application development seat building and maintaining custom business-facing software for an automotive manufacturer's operations, designing user-facing interfaces, building scalable back-end services and integrations, developing APIs for data exchange with enterprise systems, and identifying automation opportunities. Duties include defining system requirements and specifications with management and business users, unit, integration and user acceptance testing, ongoing support and defect fixes for custom applications with minimal disruption to critical business operations, modifying software to adapt to new hardware or runtimes or upgrade component versions, and delivering ad hoc reports and data extracts. Minimum qualifications are a computer science degree or equivalent experience, proficiency with a modern front-end framework such as Angular or React, back-end technologies such as Java, SQL and relational databases, experience building and consuming RESTful APIs, and experience with version control, CI/CD pipelines and cloud environments; experience with applications supporting real-time operations in industrial environments is preferred.

Summary

Three-semester undergraduate co-op in an electricity-meter engineering lab, combining compliance testing of revenue meters with continuous-improvement projects in test system design and automation. Automation work grows from about 20 percent in the first rotation to about 80 percent in the third, with projects such as environmental chamber test automation and a test matrix database. Onsite full time in Lafayette, IN for undergraduates graduating 2028 or later; no housing assistance.

Summary

Embedded firmware development for smart grid and metering products — analyzing, designing, coding, debugging and testing firmware, including building the tools that support that testing, debugging and programming. The work sits close to the silicon, expects knowledge of and exposure to analog and digital hardware design, and runs on agile teams collaborating with architecture, product management and other R&D groups on complete smart grid solutions. The role carries product-safety responsibility, sign-off on project schedules and cost estimates, mentoring of junior engineers, and a willingness to travel internationally.
