What you’ll do

Thermal constraints limit AI infrastructure, semiconductor equipment, power electronics, and defense systems. JCI removes those constraints. Enabled by the Stack Forging™ process, JCI produces high-performance thermal components and cooling loop solutions - purpose-built for direct integration into AI, HPC, and mission-critical systems. JCI has built the industry's leading thermal management platform for the applications that demand it most.

As a Senior Software Engineer, Slicer, you'll work with an interdisciplinary team to design and implement software for JCI’s Stack Forging process throughout its lifecycle. You will work to define, design, develop, implement, and maintain JCI’s Stack Forging software suite. Your end-users are in the building, and there are many opportunities for rich collaboration.

This position is based onsite at our facility in Burlington, MA. Candidates must be commuting distance to the facility, or able to relocate. Various relocation packages are available.

How you will do it

Co-design a software suite that runs end-to-end workflows for JCI’s novel Stack Forging manufacturing process.

Develop 3D algorithms to improve part accuracy and simplify support removal

Take products and features from requirements definition to proof-of-concept prototypes to production code

Develop 2D motion and path planning algorithms to improve the throughput of JCI’s Stack Forging manufacturing equipment

Collaborate in the team’s agile development process
