Job Description
The Role:
The ARC Robotics Strategy & Virtual Systems team is dynamic and fast-paced team responsible for designing and developing Digital Twin applications for manufacturing plants across the world. A Software Engineer on the Digital Twin team will design, build, and scale core services, SDKs, and high-performance 3D runtime components that power immersive digital twins across products, factories, and operations. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys owning features end-to-end: from schema and API design through front-end implementation and production deployment.


What You’ll Do (Responsibilities)

  • Deliver scoped features end-to-end (requirements, implementation, testing, deployment, and observability) with guidance from senior engineers and architects.
  • Write high-quality, maintainable code; participate in code reviews; and follow secure development and clean code practices.
  • Build and integrate 3D modules (e.g., rendering, simulation, physics, spatial indexing) with platform services via well-designed APIs and data contracts.
  • Work across the stack using tools like modern front-end frameworks (e.g., React or similar), TypeScript/JavaScript, and services-oriented backends (e.g., Node.js, Python, Java, or C#).
  • Build and iterate on web-based playback and visualization tools that rely on WebRTC, WebSockets, and streaming media pipelines to deliver simulation replays.
  • Work with databases and storage systems to organize simulation outputs, logs, and artifacts for fast retrieval and inspection.
  • Integrate with cloud services, data streams, and enterprise systems (telemetry/IoT, PLM/CAD, MES, analytics) to keep twins up-to-date and interactive.
  • Contribute to engineering best practices: CI/CD, automated testing, performance profiling, documentation, and reliability/observability metrics.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science/engineering, or related field.
