[SDF] Manufacturing DX Senior Full-Stack Engineer

Who we are

We are a team that drives the implementation of Software Defined Factory (SDF) by deploying Digital Transformation (DX) technologies and methodologies across manufacturing operations. We are also responsible for establishing global governance that accelerate use case development across Hyundai Motor Group's manufacturing facilities.

Responsibilities

In this role, you will design optimized, standardized, and modular architectures, considering the global scalability of DX applications, and develop manufacturing DX applications that process and analyze large‑scale manufacturing data while operating stably in production environments.

■ Manufacturing DX Application Development

• Developing full-stack applications specialized in manufacturing domains, such as process optimization, quality management, and predictive maintenance
• Incorporating equipment-connected data and analysis/decision-support capabilities leveraging manufacturing IT systems
• Adopting an AI-centric development approach, and integrating AI capabilities into software when needed and leveraging AI to enhance development efficiency

■ Conducting SW Stack Technology Reviews, Assessment, and Providing Recommendations

• Selecting optimal technology stacks (databases, message brokers, frameworks, design patterns) aligned with project requirements
• Analyzing technology tradeoffs between functional needs and operational efficiency
• Defining performance objectives including concurrent user capacity, transactions per second (TPS), and response time requirements
• Designing scalable architectures capable of responding to requirements changes
• Document architecture decisions with comprehensive justifications and evidence-based rationale

■ System Integration and Middleware Design

• Building middleware integration architectures, connecting factory equipment (OT) with enterprise systems (MES, ERP, PLM)
• Designing modular, reusable component libraries scalable across global manufacturing facilities
• Developing multi-tenancy architectures that allow configuration-driven customization for diverse factories

■ Long-term System Development

• Establishing CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and logging infrastructure for 24/7 operations
• Optimizing data collection cycles, API response times, and system performance in actual factory environments
• Developing systems considering upgrade paths, backward compatibility, and migration strategies

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree
• Minimum 8 years of experience developing and deploying real-world applications serving 200+ users:
• Back-end: Deep expertise in Java, C#, Python, or other languages with strong Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles
• Front-end: Proficiency in React, Vue.js, JavaScript, html and css
• Database: SQL optimization, data modeling, and transaction management expertise
• Proficiency in English (fluent in both written and oral business communication, including technical communication and documentation)
• Middleware integration experience including:
• IoT/Edge: Kepware, Cybus, HiveMQ, Ignition, MQTT brokers
• Industrial Platforms: PTC Thingworx, Siemens Industrial Edge, Rockwell Optix
• Integration: Kepware, HiveMQ, Ignition, OPC UA, MQTT, Kafka.
• Strong adherence to rigorous engineering practices:
• Writing specifications and architecture documentation before coding
• Maintaining automated test suites (unit, integration, End-to-End tests)
• Proficient use of version control, code reviews, and CI/CD
• Excellent judgment in architectural design

Preferred Qualifications

• Ability to use AI-based development tools beyond simple "Vibe Coding"
• Experience creating tests using LLMs/Copilot, writing structured code and documentation, and validating/improving AI outputs
• Ability to discern when to trust AI outputs versus when to write code from scratch
• Ability to demonstrate real‑time application of LLM‑assisted coding to practical applications
• Knowledge of manufacturing and industrial systems, including:
• Experience with MES, ERP, PLM, IoT platforms, or SCADA systems and understanding of OT/IT convergence and factory operational constraints
