1. Team Leadership & Management
Lead and manage a cross-functional team of .NET and C++ developers focused on L2 pharma manufacturing systems.
Mentor junior and mid-level developers, foster a culture of technical excellence and collaboration.
Conduct code reviews, enforce coding standards, and uphold software quality best practices.
Plan sprints, assign tasks, and track delivery in agile/scrum workflows.
2. .NET Application Development
Oversee design, development, and modernization of backend modules using .NET Core / .NET 6+.
Architect and build RESTful APIs using ASP.NET Core Web API following SOLID and clean architecture principles.
Drive migration of legacy WPF/WCF/.NET Framework systems to scalable, secure REST-based architectures.
Support Docker-based containerization and cloud/on-premise deployments.
Ensure implementation of unit testing (xUnit / NUnit / MSTest) and CI/CD pipelines.
Leverage AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot) responsibly.
3. C++ / CUDA / Embedded Systems
Lead development and optimization of C++ components for high-performance and real-time applications.
Drive CUDA programming for GPU-based parallel computing tasks relevant to manufacturing data processing.
Oversee software integration with embedded systems, PLCs, and hardware interfaces on Linux-based platforms.
Ensure performance profiling and optimization of GPU-accelerated and multi-threaded applications.
Collaborate with PLC/C++ hardware teams for seamless machine communication integration.
4. L2 Systems Architecture & Integration
Design and govern the software architecture for L2 supervisory systems in pharma manufacturing.
Ensure seamless data exchange between L2 software, MES, SCADA, and L1 device layers.
Define integration protocols and APIs for device communication and data acquisition.
Oversee performance, reliability, and security of manufacturing software systems.
5. Quality, Compliance & Documentation
Ensure all software development aligns with pharma industry regulatory requirements (GMP, 21 CFR Part 11, etc.).
Maintain comprehensive technical documentation for architecture, APIs, and integration interfaces.
Support validation activities (IQ/OQ/PQ) for manufacturing software systems.
D. Key Result Areas
On-time delivery of L2 software modules and modernized backend services.
High-quality, unit-tested, and well-documented codebase.
Smooth integration between .NET applications and C++/hardware layers.
Improved system performance through CUDA/GPU optimization and profiling.
Regulatory compliance of all delivered software in pharma manufacturing context.
Team capability growth through active mentoring and technical leadership.
E. Required Skills & Experience
