Software Engineer - Factory Intelligence

RTX is an aerospace and defense company developing solutions for complex engineering, manufacturing, and security challenges. The Software Engineer – Factory Intelligence will build applications and data-driven tools that transform manufacturing and test data into insights, supporting investigations, process improvement, test yield optimization, and operational decision-making. The role collaborates with engineers and factory stakeholders across software development, data analytics, databases, APIs, visualization, and statistical analysis.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, test, and maintain applications that help users explore and understand factory and test data
• Develop data visualization and analytical tools that make complex manufacturing data easier to interpret
• Build Python and other software solutions to transform, standardize, and analyze data from a variety of engineering and test systems
• Develop and integrate applications with relational databases, APIs, and other enterprise systems
• Work directly with engineers, factory personnel, and other stakeholders to understand problems and turn them into effective software solutions
• Troubleshoot software, data, and process issues in production environments
• Contribute to application architecture, technical design, code reviews, and team development practices
• Learn the manufacturing and test processes behind the data and use that knowledge to identify opportunities for new capabilities
• Work collaboratively within an Agile software development team to deliver practical solutions to challenging technical problems
• This role provides an opportunity to work across both software engineering and data analytics while building tools that have a direct impact on manufacturing operations
• This is a hybrid role based in Andover, Massachusetts. Onsite work is typically required 1 to 3 times per month depending on project needs, including work that must be performed in factory or classified environments
• Up to 10% domestic travel may be required

Requirements:

• Typically requires a University degree or equivalent experience and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 years experience
• Professional software development experience using at least one programming language such as Python, Java, C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, Perl, C, or a similar language
• Experience developing, testing, debugging, and maintaining software applications
• Experience working collaboratively to solve technical problems and deliver software solutions
• U.S. Citizen - The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance
• Python development, particularly for data processing, automation, or analytical applications

• REST APIs and application integration
• Relational databases and SQL, including Microsoft SQL Server, MariaDB, or other ANSI SQL-based systems
• Database design and software architecture principles
• Data visualization or development of analytical applications
• Statistical analysis or experience with tools such as Minitab, R, JMP, or SAS
• Manufacturing, engineering, test, quality, or other technical data environments
• Statistical process control, Lean manufacturing, or Six Sigma concepts
• Automated testing, source control, CI/CD, or other modern software development practices
• CompTIA Security+ certification or experience working in secure computing environments
• Successful candidates will be curious, collaborative, and comfortable working directly with users to understand their problems. They should enjoy learning unfamiliar systems, working through complex technical issues, and turning loosely defined needs into practical software solutions
