Manager Verishield Client Techonology Office

We are seeking an experienced Edge Software Manager with a strong background in .NET/C# application development and C++ programming to lead our software team in building and managing Level 2 (L2) supervisory control and data systems for pharmaceutical manufacturing operations. This is a hands-on leadership role that combines deep technical expertise with team management skills to deliver high-quality, compliant, and high-performance software solutions.

The role bridges enterprise .NET application development and real-time/embedded C++ systems, ensuring seamless integration between L2 software layers, hardware interfaces, and manufacturing execution systems (MES). The incumbent will oversee the full development lifecycle - from architecture design and modernization of legacy systems to performance optimization and cross-team collaboration.

C. Primary Responsibilities

• 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.
• .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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
