Software Engineer Phyton

Airborne Composites Automation (ACA), is looking for an experienced Software Engineer. In this role you work within multidisciplinary project teams to solve some of the most complex challenges in composite manufacturing. Within these teams you represent software and plan, design, implement and deploy automation solutions.

With a maturing product portfolio, you get the opportunity to lay the technical foundation of those products. You help craft the engineering vision, own the technical landscape and develop applications that grow with our organization.

• Taking initiative to address the larger technical needs of the product you work on and always keep the customer at the center of everything you do.
• Collaborate within the software team to improve our way of working.
