Overview

Union Technologies is reindustrializing America’s defense manufacturing from our Dallas headquarters. We’re seeking a Software Engineer who is sharp, relentlessly motivated, and ready to ship software to the factory floor until the production line hums. If you're passionate about writing rock-solid code that directly moves metal—and you crave outsized ownership, mentorship, and impact—we want to talk to you.

Responsibilities

Ship production-grade code for Fabric , our real-time integration layer connecting robots, CNCs, sensors, and PLCs to the Faction MES.

Solve complex latency, fault-tolerance, and synchronization challenges.

Deploy code to robotic cells running 24 / 7 / 365

Ensure code reliability through rigorous testing, observability instrumentation, and clear documentation.

Collaborate closely with controls engineers, roboticists, and manufacturing teams to translate requirements into deployed capabilities.

Continuously improve Fabric’s performance and scalability; proactively suggest and execute architectural upgrades.

Requirements

Solid Coding Fundamentals : Strong proficiency in Go (3+ years) , with the discipline to deliver maintainable, high-quality code.

Extreme Ownership Mindset : Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of at least one significant project (academic, personal, internship, or open-source)

Hardware Integrations : Proven experience building, debugging, or troubleshooting projects that interact with physical world hardware (robotics, drones, automotive, 3D printing, IIoT, etc.).

Learning Agility : Ability to rapidly acquire knowledge of new protocols, hardware integrations, and manufacturing processes without extensive guidance.

Experience with Modern Software Tooling : At least 3 years working within a software team using modern tools like Git, Docker, Kubernetes, CI / CD, gRPC, pub / sub frameworks (Kafka)

Bonus Qualifications (At least 1)

Experience with industrial communication protocols (OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus, EtherCAT) or PLC programming.

Familiarity with real-time control systems, motion libraries, or sensor data processing.

Contributions to open-source robotics, embedded, or automation projects.

Exposure to SCADA systems, Industrial IoT stacks, or OT cybersecurity.

Coursework in Statistics or experience with Statistical Process Control

Join the mission. We'll handle the move.

Exceptional talent shouldn't be bound by geography. If you're ready to relocate to Dallas, TX and join us in reindustrializing America’s defense backbone, we'll make it easy—and for those who move quickly, additional incentives may be available.

Compensation Range : $125K - $220K
