Senior Software Engineer

At Solid State AI we are developing an AI platform for semiconductor and aerospace manufacturers. Solid State AI is on a mission to infuse creativity and scientific rigor into the design, development and deployment of AI software products. Our objective is to create a software that is not only user-friendly and intuitive but also adds significant value to our manufacturing customers. Our clients are builders of products you use every day and our solution empowers them to increase production while reducing cost. At the heart of our offering is AIMS - AI for Manufacturing Systems. We are in search for a new team member who not only understands the established principles of building a scalable cloud or on-premise AI application but is also prepared to challenge those norms. This mindset is crucial because our clients have stringent data and deployment requirements that demand innovative thinking. We believe that to succeed one has to reason from fundamentals and think differently. AIMS, our AI software product, is built on this belief. Using AIMS our users can easily build, interpret and deploy AI models. Our product has been developed by physicists and engineers with decades of experience in designing and manufacturing semiconductor devices, software engineers and machine learning scientists. Current product family consists of AIMS - AI for Manufacturing Systems. AIMS consists of two main components - Engineering and Economics. AIMS Engineering is designed for the process and tool engineer and using this they can increase the quantity and quality of products they make. AIMS Economics is designed with sales and operations in mind and predicts optimized production processes. The benefits are reduction in production delays and costs. We’re looking for a Senior Python developer to join our team (company headquarters are in Toronto, Canada). You should think about joining us if you have passion for architecting software systems and writing highly maintainable code. Our product and business currently are undergoing significant growth.
