Full Job Description

Fabric8Labs, headquartered in sunny San Diego, CA, is revolutionizing advanced manufacturing with next-generation 3D printing technology. We’re looking for a Senior Software Architect to design, define, and scale the software systems that power our patented Electrochemical Additive Manufacturing (ECAM) technology for global production.

ECAM uses precise, room-temperature metal deposition to unlock geometries and applications that conventional metal AM can’t reach. Since announcing our agreement to be acquired by TDK Corporation, we’re rapidly expanding our engineering team to advance this disruptive technology across a wide range of electronics components—including data center infrastructure, wireless communications, and power electronics.

As a Senior Software Architect, you’ll be a crucial leader on our engineering team, serving as the technical authority for our software ecosystem—spanning embedded motion control, real-time electrochemical process monitoring, digital thread integration, and cloud-connected analytics. You’ll be the bridge between complex hardware physics and robust, scalable software systems.

If you’re excited to help shape the future of manufacturing alongside a growing team, come join us. We thrive on collaborative problem-solving and are eager to bring in diverse minds and perspectives.

Primary Responsibilities

Own the overarching software architecture for ECAM production systems, defining system boundaries, data models, APIs, and technology stacks from edge to cloud.
Lead the design of real-time control, data acquisition, and process monitoring software, ensuring sub-millisecond precision and high reliability in complex physical and electrochemical operations.
Establish technical roadmaps and architectural standards, driving software best practices, design patterns, modularity, and security across multi-disciplinary engineering teams.
Partner cross-functionally with hardware, electrochemical, process, and applications engineering to translate complex physical requirements into reliable, maintainable software architectures.
Architect end-to-end digital thread solutions, connecting CAD/CAM data preparation pipelines, machine control software, factory floor MES/ERP integrations, and fleet telemetry.
Lead technical trade-off analyses and prototyping efforts, evaluating emerging technologies, frameworks, and third-party tools to solve novel manufacturing challenges.
Mentor and guide software, firmware, and automation engineers, conducting design reviews and fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous innovation.
Serve as the structured feedback channel to leadership, communicating technical risks, architectural dependencies, and resource needs clearly and proactively.
Define strategies for system reliability, fault tolerance, and security, ensuring production machines meet strict uptime, safety, and IP protection standards in customer facilities.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to streamline NPI (New Product Introduction), accelerating the cycle from software build to machine deployment and factory ramp.

Required Skills and Experience

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field; equivalent technical experience will be considered.
8+ years of software engineering experience, with 3+ years operating in a System Architect, Principal Engineer, or Lead Software Architect role developing complex, multi-layered software systems.
Proven track record of designing software for physical hardware systems (e.g., additive manufacturing, industrial automation, robotics, semiconductor equipment, or advanced electronics manufacturing).
Deep proficiency in modern programming languages, such as C++, Rust, Python, C#, or Go, with a strong grasp of object-oriented, functional, and event-driven architectural paradigms.
Hands-on experience with real-time systems, edge computing, motion control, or high-rate sensor data ingestion and processing.
Comfort operating at executive and technical levels—equally credible presenting a high-level system architecture to leadership and diving deep into code, stack traces, or hardware comms protocols with developers.
Exceptional responsiveness and written/verbal communication skills; able to distill complex technical architecture into clear actionable guidance.
Strong planning and organizational skills, with the discipline to manage architectural runway and technical debt alongside aggressive product delivery schedules.
Willingness to get hands dirty—spend time on the lab floor, debug on physical hardware, build proof-of-concepts, and do whatever the engineering team needs to succeed.
Ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-moving environment where processes and infrastructure are actively scaling.

Preferred Skills and Experience

Direct experience with additive manufacturing, CNC, path planning, slicing algorithms, or G-code generation tools.
Familiarity with physics-based modeling, closed-loop feedback controls, or computer vision integrated into real-time manufacturing processes.
Bachelor's Degree, Master’s degree or PhD in Computer Science or Engineering.

Why Work at Fabric8Labs?

We offer a comprehensive benefits package, health, dental, and vision plans; 401(k) with employer match; and an unmetered vacation policy.
We have a collaborative work environment where we work in tight-knit teams focused on transforming manufacturing technology.
Regular catered company events and celebrations, and a fully stocked breakroom!

Other Information

Routinely required to sit; walk; talk; hear; use hands to type, handle, and feel; stoop, kneel, crouch, twist, reach, and stretch. Routinely required to move around the facility and lab/factory floor.
Occasionally lift and/or move up to 40 pounds.
May require travel (domestic and/or international) dependent on business needs, up to 15%.
Specific vision abilities that may be required by this job include close vision, color vision, peripheral vision, depth perception, and ability to adjust focus.
