We offer a broad range of automation, electrification, and digital solutions for process, hybrid, and maritime industries, including industry-specific integrated control and software as well as measurement and analytics solutions and services.

Your role and responsibilities

In this role, we are looking for experienced software professionals to join our Industrial Automation Digital Organization. The role requires individuals with extensive experience in designing, developing, and deploying scalable Edge and Industrial IoT software platforms supporting mission-critical industrial systems. Candidates will work with modern distributed architectures, AI-assisted engineering workflows, cloud-edge integrations, and globally distributed engineering teams to deliver secure, reliable, scalable, and high-performance software solutions aligned with ABB's industrial digitalization vision.

The work model for the role is: Hybrid

You will be mainly accountable for:

• Design, develop, test, and maintain enterprise-grade applications across front-end, back-end, and edge layers using .NET, C#, ASP.NET Core, and modern development frameworks.

• Develop scalable APIs and server-side components while building responsive and high-performance modules aligned with deployment architectures. Contribute to software architecture decisions and technical design reviews.

• Develop and enhance Edge-based solutions for industrial automation and telemetry processing by implementing telemetry ingestion, device management, data processing, and edge-to-cloud communication pipelines.

• Work with industrial communication protocols including MQTT, AMQP, OPC-UA, Modbus, REST, and WebSockets, with exposure to historian systems and industrial data platforms considered advantageous.

• Design and develop scalable microservices-based architectures and build containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes/OpenShift technologies.

• Develop resilient, observable, and highly available distributed systems while collaborating with architecture teams to ensure scalability, maintainability, security, and adherence to best engineering practices.

• Implement event-driven and message-driven architectures to support modern industrial software platforms.

• Utilize AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot, generative AI platforms, and intelligent automation frameworks to improve engineering productivity, software quality, and development efficiency.

• Integrate AI/ML capabilities into Edge and Industrial IoT applications where applicable, while evaluating emerging AI technologies that accelerate software engineering and industrial automation use cases.

• Implement and enhance CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar platforms, integrating automated testing, code quality analysis, security scanning, and deployment automation.

• Ensure reliability through continuous testing, observability, monitoring, and performance validation while collaborating with quality engineering teams to improve automation coverage and release quality.

• Support production deployments, troubleshooting activities, operational excellence initiatives, and secure software development practices, including authentication, authorization, secrets management, and secure communication.

• Contribute to system reliability, scalability, fault tolerance, and cybersecurity compliance initiatives, with familiarity in observability platforms such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, and OpenTelemetry being desirable.

Qualifications for the role:

• 5–8 years of professional software engineering experience with strong expertise in enterprise-grade full stack application development.

• BE/BTech/ME/MTech in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics, or related engineering disciplines.

• Strong proficiency in .NET/.NET Core, C#, ASP.NET Core, and REST API development.

• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes/OpenShift, Docker and containerization technologies, microservices architecture, CI/CD pipelines, and Git-based development workflows.

• Good knowledge of MQTT, AMQP, OPC-UA, Modbus, HTTP/HTTPS protocols, Edge computing architectures, event-driven systems, and Linux environments.

• Experience in industrial automation, Edge computing, IoT, or real-time systems is preferred.

• Additional experience with CrateDB, PostgreSQL, time-series databases, Azure Cloud, AWS, or hybrid cloud environments is considered advantageous.

• Exposure to AI/ML integration, GitHub Copilot, AI-assisted development workflows, and industrial automation domains is highly desirable.

• Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving capabilities, and troubleshooting skills across application, infrastructure, and deployment layers.

• Ability to collaborate effectively within global Agile teams, mentor junior engineers, and drive technical excellence through proactive ownership and execution.

• Demonstrated adaptability to evolving technologies and business requirements, combined with a passion for innovation, automation, and continuous learning.

• Additional experience with telemetry pipelines, streaming platforms, observability and distributed tracing, high-availability clustered deployments, industrial cybersecurity standards, GenAI-assisted SDLC workflows, architecture discussions, technical roadmaps, and test automation or performance testing frameworks will be considered beneficial.
