As a Software Development Engineer, you will build and maintain backend services that bring machine learning and AI capabilities to industrial environments, working across Python and C#/.NET to develop reliable, well-tested software that runs at the edge. You will translate architectural decisions into working software, contributing to a product where your code directly shapes how ML models, RAG pipelines, and agentic AI features are deployed and operated in the field.
You will report to the Engineering Manager and work within a software engineering team alongside data scientists, QA and DevOps engineers. You will also collaborate across a broader global product organisation that includes system architects, IoT software specialists, and hardware teams spread across multiple geographies and time zones. This is a hybrid role and will be expected to be in office 3 days a week, working from the Rockwell Automation office in Electronic City, Bangalore, India.
Your Responsibilities:
Develop and maintain backend services and APIs in Python and C#/.NET, ensuring they are robust, well-tested, and straightforward to operate in production.
Translate architectural decisions and design records into clean, maintainable implementations, working from defined patterns and contributing to their evolution.
Build integrations between software components and third-party platforms, deploying and supporting software on Windows and Linux environments including constrained edge deployments without internet access.
Use AI-assisted development tools as part of your everyday workflow, and take ownership of your work end to end, writing tests, maintaining documentation, and participating in code reviews and engineering decisions.
Contribute to the team’s web-based management interface, implementing features that make the system observable and easy to operate.
Build and support AI feature development across the stack, including services that expose ML model outputs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, and agentic AI workflows that connect intelligence to real-world industrial systems.
The Essentials – You Will Have:
2+ years of experience in a backend-focused role.
Professional experience developing in Python and C#/.NET.
Experience building or working with message-based or event-driven systems.
Practical experience working across Windows and Linux environments.
Working knowledge of containerization with Docker.
The Preferred – You Might Also Have:
C++ development experience, particularly on Windows or in embedded environments.
Experience with container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes.
Frontend development experience with Angular or a comparable JavaScript framework.
Hands-on experience with AI or ML feature development, including model deployment, RAG systems, or agentic AI patterns.
Experience developing or testing software across different processor architectures such as x86 and ARM.
Exposure to industrial automation, OT, or IoT environments.
Rockwell Automation is a global leader in industrial automation and digital transformation, helping manufacturers optimize production, safety, and efficiency through smart manufacturing solutions. The company designs and delivers integrated control systems, software, and services that connect machines, data, and people across industrial environments worldwide.
