Manager, Software Engineering

VulcanForms * • Ayer, MA • 2h ago

Manager, Software Engineering About Us Founded in 2015 to develop the
world?s first industrially scalable laser metal additive manufacturing
solution, VulcanForms is reshaping how the world manufactures critical
products. We build and operate advanced digital infrastructure that
enables innovation, accelerates growth, and supports sustainability
across aerospace, defense, medical, and other essential industries.
Through our vertically integrated capabilities, including scalable
additive manufacturing and precision machining, we deliver true
end-to-end production at scale by combining cutting-edge technology with
a foundation of proven industrial craftsmanship. Our team brings deep
expertise in manufacturing, materials science, software, automation, and
operations, united by a shared commitment to quality, curiosity, and
accountability. We foster an inclusive culture where people take
ownership, solve meaningful problems, and continuously learn, because we
believe diverse perspectives lead to better outcomes. Job Purpose We?re
looking for a Manager of Software Engineering to lead our Toolpathing
team ? the group responsible for one of the most technically interesting
problems in manufacturing software: turning a 3D geometry into precise,
optimized instructions for a multi-laser gantry system, including
coordinated gantry movement and per-laser power modulation across our
full array. This is a ?fix and build? leadership role. You?ll step into
a talented team of five engineers that needs structure, process, and
strategic direction as much as it needs technical depth. In the near
term, you?ll focus on bringing order to a reactive development
environment ? establishing a release process, documenting what exists,
and building a roadmap. Over time, you?ll drive that roadmap forward and
evolve the team?s capabilities to match the ambition of the platform
we?re building. We?re looking for a leader first ? someone who can
organize, motivate, and grow a high-performing team. Technical
credibility matters, but it doesn?t have to come from writing code
day-to-day. What matters is that you can engage meaningfully with a
complex system, ask the right questions, and guide your team toward
better architectural and engineering decisions. This role is not for
someone who wants to stay heads-down in the codebase. It?s for someone
who can earn deep technical credibility with their team and step back to
see the larger picture ? identifying constraints, challenging
assumptions, and bringing in solutions the team hasn?t considered yet.
Key Responsibilities Lead and develop a team of 5 software engineers,
with the expectation that the team grows as the platform scales.
Establish and own a structured software development lifecycle: sprint
planning, release management, verification, and validation. Drive the
team from reactive, ad-hoc delivery toward roadmap-driven execution
using Scrum best practices. Build a culture of documentation, code
quality, accountability, and engineering craftsmanship. Provide hands-on
technical mentorship, enabling engineers to grow and succeed in a
complex, high-performance codebase. Lead a comprehensive effort to
document the existing codebase and establish a shared understanding of
system architecture. Develop and maintain a technology roadmap that
reflects both near-term operational needs and long-term platform goals.
Challenge the team?s assumptions about how problems get solved ? for
example, exploring distributed or cloud-based compute strategies for
build performance rather than defaulting to vertical scaling. Define
architecture patterns and development standards that will scale with
team and product growth. Drive initiatives to improve performance,
precision, and reliability across the toolpathing stack. Work closely
with hardware, controls, manufacturing, and process engineering teams to
ensure toolpathing software evolves alongside the machine platform.
