Company Overview Raven Space Systems (Raven) is a venture-backed startup with active government programs and strong commercial momentum, helping revitalize the industrial base by developing breakthroughs in automated manufacturing to build factories of the future and enable the US to compete globally. To meet this critical need, Raven is building breakthrough composite 3D printing smart factories for thermal protection, lightweight structures, and more for aerospace and defense. Our Microwave Assisted Deposition (MAD) innovation unlocks scalable 3D printing of highly tailorable, commercial-off-the-shelf thermoset and ceramic composite materials for the first time. The technology is based on Direct Ink Write (DIW), the most versatile additive manufacturing technology, which utilizes the highest-performance materials. However, DIW has been stuck in the lab for over 20 years due to its inability to 3D print full-scale composite parts. Ravens MAD 3D printing factories bring DIW to full-scale production of parts and systems. Our technology stack leverages MAD 3D printing, real-time monitoring and controls, and data-driven learning to deploy the most efficient and versatile advanced manufacturing factories. Our mission is to transform composite manufacturing to alleviate critical supply chain bottlenecks and accelerate innovation. Position Overview A Senior Software Engineer at Raven will work directly with the CTO to lead development of the real-time monitoring and control software for our MAD 3D printing systems and help architect the digital infrastructure for smart factory integration. This is a hands-on, foundational role for a software engineer passionate about merging robotics, sensors, and manufacturing systems with intelligent automation and industrial software. The ideal candidate will bring experience in control systems, embedded programming, and industrial or IIoT software developmentpreferably for additive manufacturing, CNC, or robotic platformsand will work closely with our mechanical, electrical, and materials teams to enable precise, adaptive, and scalable production environments. Job Duties Design and develop real-time monitoring and control software to operate MAD 3D printing systems, including extrusion control, thermal coordination, and conformal motion planning Build interfaces to integrate printers with sensors, actuators, and feedback control loops for closed-loop process control. Collaborate on the architecture of a smart factory platform to manage, monitor, and scale a fleet of MAD printers across production. Implement software for printer-to-cloud connectivity, data acquisition, logging, and performance analytics. Work alongside mechanical and electrical engineers to develop and test system-level software in the lab and on the factory floor. Interface with factory scheduling, traceability, and quality control systemspotentially including ERP/MRP integrations. Contribute to software quality, test coverage, and performance benchmarks to ensure high reliability in manufacturing environments. Evaluate and select appropriate frameworks, libraries, protocols, and architectures that balance real-time performance and maintainability.
