About the role
Job Description:
Baxter Manufacturing, a division of ITW Food Equipment Group, is seeking a Software Engineer to support software and connected-product development for commercial food equipment.

The role supports embedded controls, touchscreen interfaces, connected applications, Microsoft Azure cloud services, APIs, databases, and wireless connectivity.

Review proposed solutions and verify completed software meets functional, reliability, usability, and cybersecurity requirements.
Support embedded control software, touchscreen applications, microcontrollers, and ESP32-based connectivity solutions.
Support Microsoft Azure systems used for device provisioning, over-the-air updates, telemetry, diagnostics, and connected-equipment management.
Troubleshoot communication between equipment, embedded controllers, networks, applications, APIs, and cloud services.
Use tools such as Postman to test APIs and troubleshoot software integrations.
Document defects, verify corrective actions, and approve software changes prior to release.
Troubleshoot software and connectivity issues found during engineering testing, manufacturing, or on equipment installed in the field.
Use telemetry, logs, diagnostic information, and laboratory testing to identify root cause and corrective actions.
Support Wi-Fi connectivity and customer cybersecurity requirements, including security questionnaires, trust-center reviews, and technical discussions with customer IT organizations.
Communicate software architecture, network requirements, data flows, cloud connectivity, and update processes to technical and non-technical audiences.
100% on site role interacting with production and other departments
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
2+ years of professional experience in software development, embedded systems, connected products, or software systems engineering.
Experience with software requirements, testing, troubleshooting, release, and lifecycle support.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to coordinate technical work performed by external development partners.

C
C#
TypeScript
SQL
ASP.NET Core Web API
