Instrumental technology is used by the world’s most admired electronics brands — including Meta, NVIDIA, Bose, and Cisco — to significantly reduce the $12T lost every year to downtime, scrap, and mistakes in manufacturing. Our system collects data directly from the factory floor and uses proprietary AI to automatically identify and resolve issues, helping teams improve yield, quality, and time to market.

Individuals who are interested in moving fast, collaborating hard, and taking ownership of their work and growing their skills will thrive at Instrumental. In this role, you’ll be part of the engineering team working closely with Product, SRE and customer facing field engineers for both pre- and post-sales engagements, giving you plenty of chances to stretch yourself, learn quickly, take ownership, build impactful products, and make a difference for Instrumental and yourself!

What You Will Do

  • Take ownership of our Edge Computing platform.
  • Extend its functionality with new features.
  • Continuously improve its performance, scalability and reliability.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to improve the deployment, SaaS integration and ongoing operational efficiencies in an incremental way that enables quick, iterative feedback loops.
  • Exercise curiosity and initiative. Always looking for better ways to build, to run and to learn.
