Develop Software Architecture for ARC Systems
The printer is only as good as the software that supports it. Join the team that is making a difference in how the world is build. As an automation engineer you would be apart of taking the ARC system to the next level as we continue to optimize backend, further integrate complementary equipment, and refine the user interface across board.
Get Hands Through Wiring Production Machines
Behind every seamless operation is a network of expertly crafted connections. As an Automation Engineer, you will play a crucial role in bringing our systems to life through hands-on wiring and assembly. Join our innovative team and contribute to the evolution of the ARC system by designing, installing, and troubleshooting complex wiring systems that ensure optimal performance and reliability. Your expertise will be vital in integrating various components, enhancing system efficiency, and ensuring safety standards are met. Together, we will build the future of automation, one wire at a time.
We are SQ4D. Strong ideas demand strong engineering.
At SQ4D, the work is hands-on and grounded in real engineering challenges. Projects move quickly from ideas to physical results, and the focus is always on building, testing, and improving—not just talking about solutions. People work closely together, often across different engineering disciplines, and you see firsthand how design choices affect performance, manufacturability, and the final outcome.
The environment is practical, collaborative, and driven by learning. You’re encouraged to ask questions, take initiative, and own your work, whether that means refining a design, running a machine, or solving a problem on the shop floor. SQ4D is a place for engineers who want to develop real skills, gain experience, and grow by doing the work themselves.
