At Layup Parts, we're developing the technology that will build the future.  

We're a manufacturing technology company replacing months of lead time with days, using proprietary software, automation, and advanced manufacturing systems built for speed.

• Develop interfaces and integrations for manufacturing equipment, capturing real-time production data and turning it into actionable insights. 

• Implement features for our customer portal, creating a seamless experience from project submission through delivery. 

• Create internal tools that automate workflows, eliminate bottlenecks, and increase manufacturing throughput. 

• Partner closely with manufacturing, operations, and production teams to solve real-world problems through software.

• Strong engineering fundamentals with a focus on building reliable, maintainable software.  

• Proven ability to independently own and drive projects from definition through delivery.  

• Experience building software for internal users, customers, or other stakeholders, with an ability to understand their needs and translate them into effective solutions.  

• Comfortable working in a startup or similarly fast-paced environment where priorities evolve quickly and engineers are expected to operate with a high degree of ownership.  

• Ability to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and established codebases. 

• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams. 

Bonus Points
