Job Description

ALMACO in Nevada, IA is seeking a Software Engineer. This is an excellent role for someone who enjoys taking a project from an idea to a fully implemented product, independently determining the steps needed and the work required to turn a concept into reality.

You’ll enjoy this job if you like to be part of an innovative team that pushes each other to accomplish great things, and you’re interested in developing leading-edge technology in the seed research industry. You will work to make it easy to control complex equipment using various software tools.

This is a full-time position with flexible hours. Some work can be completed remotely, but it is frequently necessary to be in the office at our headquarters in central Iowa, collaborating with the team or working near/on the equipment itself.

Great things about ALMACO:

• We offer a free health insurance option for employees!
• We offer flexible schedules so you can take care of the things that matter. In addition, PTO starts accruing on day one.
• We're a family-owned company, and the owners know you by name and care about you as a person.

More about this position:

• You'll translate requests from internal or external clients into potential projects and provide estimates to achieve the goals of the projects.
• You'll write the code that controls our specialized agricultural equipment in the appropriate language(s), such as C#, C, Java, and others, on desktop, web, mobile, and embedded devices.
• You'll work with RESTful services, OPC, MQTT, SQL, and cloud computing platforms.
• You'll create algorithms to drive sophisticated machine behavior.
• You'll assist with writing operating manuals, training internal stakeholders, and troubleshooting support on new software deployments.
• Projects include full stack development to control, monitor, or gather data from our products, and potentially integrating client or third-party systems into our products to achieve seamless data flow.
• The work environment will be a mix of independent, self-driven, tasks, as well as collaboration with a team of controls engineers, mechanical engineers, and technicians.

To excel in this position, you have:

• A bachelor’s degree in software or computer engineering or computer science, or a related combination of education and experience that provide a similar depth of knowledge.
• Experience designing, deploying, and maintaining software.
• Excellent debugging, problem-solving, and analytical skills.
• The desire and ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
