  • Principal Software Engineer

  • Smith Arnold Partners
  • Norwalk, Connecticut United States US View Map

Summary

If you’re an experienced software engineer who wants to build things that actually move — fast, accurately, and at scale — this is a role worth considering.

We’re a well-established global tech organization that builds the software and systems behind some of the most advanced, high-speed electromechanical equipment in the industry. Our technology helps run the operations behind critical communications and logistics around the world.


Employee testimonials:

  • Great environment in the office and backed by a larger company providing a stable and exciting work environment. The entire Staff is always willing to help and create a great culture.
  • Productive and Fun Place to Work!
  • Best company I have EVER worked for... They have accommodated to me beyond expectations.



Title: Principle Software Engineer

Location: Norwalk, CT

Salary - $150,000 – $180,000 +Bonus



Right now, we’re looking for a Senior Principal Software Engineer to take a leading role in architecting and delivering the software that powers our next generation of machine control systems. This is a hands-on, senior-level position where you’ll have real ownership, technical influence, and direct impact on the business.

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • High Visibility: You won’t be buried in code no one sees — this role is front and center across engineering, product, and executive teams.
  • Complex, Real-World Problems: This isn’t app development. You’ll be building control software for high-speed, precision-driven systems that integrate mechanical, electrical, and software components.
  • Stability + Innovation: Join a company that’s been around for decades — but continues to evolve. The tech is serious, the teams are strong, and the roadmaps are ambitious.
  • Long-Term Career Growth: This isn’t a stepping-stone job. It’s a long-term opportunity to lead, grow, and shape the future of how our machines performance


What You’ll Do:

  • Design and develop real-time control software in C++ for large-scale, high-performance electromechanical systems
  • Lead cross-functional efforts across software, hardware, systems, and manufacturing
  • Guide architecture and technical strategy for multiple products and platforms
  • Debug and optimize at the system level — from code to motion control to hardware integration
  • Play a key role in roadmap planning and technical decision-making


What You Bring:

  • 10+ years of experience in object-oriented software design and full-lifecycle development
  • Deep hands-on experience in C++ and real-time operating systems (such as RTX)
  • Strong background in mechatronics, machine control, or similar system-level environments
  • Ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and drive projects through ambiguity to delivery
  • Excellent communication skills — both with engineers and stakeholders
  • BS or MS in Computer Science or a related field


Bonus Points:

  • Experience with motion or servo motor control
  • Exposure to .NET, Java, or ASP.NET
  • Background in SQL Server, Oracle, or web-based service architecture
  • Knowledge of industrial automation or paper-handling/mailing systems
