Senior Software Engineer

Job Title: Senior Software Engineer

Locations: Irving, TX75063

Duration: 6 Month Contract

Overview

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join a small, highly collaborative engineering software team. This individual will become the third member of the group and play a key role in designing, developing, and supporting applications used by engineering teams. The ideal candidate combines strong software development skills with a solid foundation in applied mathematics and enjoys working directly with end users to solve complex engineering challenges.

Because our software supports engineering design activities, candidates must be comfortable working with mathematical concepts such as vectors, matrices, trigonometry, and geometric calculations. This role requires someone who can understand both the technical and business sides of engineering software and manage solutions from concept through deployment and support.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and maintain engineering software applications.
• Manage the full software development lifecycle, from requirements gathering through implementation and support.
• Work closely with engineering and design teams to understand workflows and translate requirements into software solutions.
• Support and enhance applications that rely heavily on mathematical and geometric calculations.
• Collaborate directly with end users to troubleshoot issues, gather feedback, and improve functionality.
• Participate in application modernization and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Utilize modern development tools, including GitHub and Microsoft Copilot Enterprise, to improve productivity and code quality.
• Contribute to architecture, design reviews, and technical decision-making as a senior member of a small team.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Strong background in applied mathematics, including:
• Trigonometry
• Vectors and matrices
  • Geometric calculations
  • Engineering-related mathematical concepts

• Professional software development experience using:
• VB.NET
  • C#
  • C++

• Experience building and supporting business-critical or engineering-focused software applications.
• Ability to work independently and manage projects end-to-end.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to interface directly with engineers and non-technical users.
• Experience using source control and collaborative development tools such as GitHub.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing software used in engineering, CAD, manufacturing, or technical design environments.
• Exposure to AI-assisted software development tools such as Microsoft Copilot Enterprise, GitHub Copilot, or similar technologies.
• Experience leveraging AI tools within the development process (not necessarily building AI models or AI platforms).
• Ability to quickly learn complex engineering concepts and software systems.
• Previous experience in a small team environment where individuals wear multiple hats.

Ideal Candidate

• The successful candidate will be a senior-level developer who combines strong software engineering expertise with a practical understanding of applied mathematics. They will be personable, collaborative, and comfortable working directly with end users while also handling complex technical challenges. Experience supporting engineering software and leveraging modern AI-assisted development tools is highly desirable.
