Automation Software Developer

Are you a skilled software developer passionate about building cutting-edge automation solutions powered by AI? Innowave Tech Singapore is seeking an **experienced Automation Software Developer**to join our data science team, focused on smart factory automation for the semiconductor industry.

**About Innowave Tech Singapore**

We build AI-driven automation software for semiconductor and advanced-manufacturing industries. Our strength lies in deep industrial domain expertise combined with cutting-edge AI and software engineering to solve complex factory problems.

**Your Mission**

You’re not here to just write code—you’re here to think deeply, attack challenges from all angles, and deliver elegant, high-impact solutions using any technology necessary. You’ll own end-to-end design, development, and deployment of intelligent automation systems that move the needle in semiconductor fabs.

**What You’ll Do**
- **Deep Problem Solving & Architecture**
- Proactively break down ambiguous manufacturing problems and propose multiple technical approaches.
- Architect modular, scalable solutions that can adapt to evolving shop-floor requirements.
- Keep algorithmic considerations in mind and collaborate closely with data scientists and computer-vision engineers to integrate advanced analytics or control logic as needed.
- **Core Development**
- Mastery in Python (3.x), leveraging frameworks/tech like asyncio, multithreading, and functional programming.
- Build clean, well-documented code with strong OOP and design-pattern best practices.
- **System Integration & Deployment**
- Interface with industrial equipment (via REST, Websocket, MQTT or custom protocols).
- Containerize with Docker; collaborate on Git for reliable releases.
- **AI & Automation Tools**
- (Optionally) Integrate or fine-tune LLMs and agentic AI agents to automate complex decision workflows.
- Develop retrieval-augmented systems, effective prompt strategies, or rule-based fallbacks as needed.
- **Quality & Testing**
- Create exhaustive unit/integration tests and simulation environments to validate automation logic.
- Troubleshoot production issues with clear root-cause analyses and corrective solutions.

**What We’re Looking For**

**Must-Have**

1. Deep Thinker & Problem Solver
- You thrive in uncertainty, ask the tough questions, and drive solutions through to completion.

2. Python & Tech Stack Mastery
- At least 3 years professional experience in Python, plus familiarity with related ecosystems (e.g. Git, Docker, RPA tools).

3. Collaborative Analytical Mindset
- You understand the basics of data processing and computer vision workflows, and can partner effectively with data-science or CV teams to bring algorithmic components into production.

**Nice-to-Have**
- Hands-on experience in semiconductor or industrial automation environments.
- Knowledge of virtualization/KVM, RPA frameworks, or real-time control systems.
- Exposure to AI/ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch) or LLM fine-tuning.

Background in regulated environments.

**Education and Background Requirements**
- At least Bachelor’s degree Computer Scienc, Software Engineering, Information Technology or any related fields.
- Minimum **3 years of hands-on experience in software development**, primarily using **Python**.

**Why You’ll Love Working Here**

**- High-Impact Projects**:Tackle real factory challenges that directly improve yield and throughput.

**- Autonomy & Ownership**:You call the shots on technology choices—no micromanagement.

**- Collaborative Culture**:Work alongside AI researchers, automation engineers, and fab experts.

**- Growth & Leadership**:Clear pathways from individual contributor to technical lead or architect roles.

**Ready to Transform the Future?
