About Us

Zolo Carbon Smartech is a global technology company delivering real-time combustion insight to energy-intensive industries such as steel, refining, petrochemicals, and power generation. Our laser-based monitoring systems operate in demanding industrial environments, turning previously invisible combustion conditions into actionable intelligence that improves safety, efficiency, reliability, and environmental performance.

We build long-lifecycle, mission-critical systems deployed worldwide. Our work sits at the intersection of hardware, software, and real-world industrial operations, and we value engineers who are thoughtful, collaborative, and disciplined in how they build and maintain reliable systems.

Position Overview

We are seeking a Software Engineer to join our Engineering & Technology team. In this role, you will contribute to the development, testing, and maintenance of software that supports Zolo's combustion monitoring platforms.

You will work closely with other engineers and cross-functional teams to implement and support software that interfaces with hardware, instrumentation, and deployed systems. The focus of this role is on building reliable, production-ready software and supporting ongoing product improvements.

This is not a pure web or consumer software role. It is well suited for engineers interested in systems-oriented development and hardware-adjacent software, working primarily from an office or hybrid environment.

What You'll Work On

Software supporting laser-based combustion monitoring systems used in industrial applications

Internal and customer-facing tools for data acquisition, diagnostics, configuration, and testing

Software components that interface with sensors, instruments, and hardware subsystems

Iterative improvements informed by testing, service feedback, and product priorities

Key Responsibilities

Core Engineering Responsibilities

Develop, test, and maintain reliable software components following established design and coding practices.

Implement software features and enhancements based on defined requirements and design guidance.

Contribute to documentation and testing to support long-term maintainability.

Systems & Cross-Functional Collaboration

Work closely with hardware engineers, systems integration, service, and production teams to support integrated solutions.

Assist with hardware--software integration and internal validation efforts.

Participate in code and design reviews as a contributor.

Operational Support

Support investigation and resolution of software issues identified in deployed systems, primarily through log analysis, diagnostics, and internal tools.

Provide technical input to service and support teams as needed.

Incorporate operational feedback into software updates and refinements.

Engineering Practices & Growth

Write clear, maintainable, and well-documented code.

Follow established development standards and contribute to continuous improvement of tools and practices.

Grow technical skills through collaboration with more experienced engineers and exposure to real-world systems.

Qualifications

Required

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.

Approximately 5+ years of professional software development experience.

Solid understanding of object-oriented programming and software design principles.

Proficiency in at least one programming language commonly used in industrial or scientific systems (e.g., Python, C#, Java, and LabVIEW

Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git).

Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

Ability to work independently on assigned tasks while collaborating effectively with a team.

Clear written and verbal communication skills.

Nice to Have

Experience with LabVIEW or similar instrumentation-focused environments.

Familiarity with databases (SQL or NoSQL) and API integrations.

Exposure to front-end frameworks used for internal tools or operator interfaces (e.g., React, Angular).

Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure) in hybrid or on-prem environments.

Experience with containerization (Docker), CI/CD pipelines, or automated testing frameworks.

Location

This role is based in Louisville, CO.

Travel is not expected and would be limited to rare, planned occasions if needed.

What We Offer

Competitive salary and benefits package with potential for annual performance bonuses

Flexible hybrid work arrangements

Opportunity to work on meaningful industrial technology used in real-world operations

Collaborative, supportive engineering culture

Professional development and growth opportunities
