Join our Industrial & Energy technologies team

We design and manufacture a range of sensing instrumentation that are utilised in a vast array of market segments. Our Software teams design, prototype, validate, and certify next-generation industrial sensing systems. We collaborate with teams to solve complex technical challenges and design future innovations.

Take ownership for creating future enhancements

Baker Hughes is seeking for a hands‑on to lead the design and delivery of Ultrasonic NDT modules that deal with data throughput, parameter etc., Our Ultrasonic Testing (UT) software modules and reporting software that powers NDT inspection workflows. You will own the platform vision and implementation for module configuration, validation, permissions, data services, and report generation that integrate with UT instruments and downstream analytics. The role emphasizes microservices architecture, event‑driven design, secure APIs, cloud reliability, and modern DevOps practices, adapted to 15–18 years of experience.

As a Senior Lead Software Engineer, you will be responsible for :

• Defining and driving the North Star architecture of One UT Software Platform for USPAR (parameter models, configuration services, reporting pipeline, API gateways), ensuring performance, reliability, and security for UT inspection data.
• Leading the decomposition of legacy or monolithic components into cloud ready microservices with RESTful APIs, event streaming, and asynchronous workflows where appropriate.
• Establishing CI / CD standards, infrastructure automation, and guardrails that accelerate safe delivery (pipeline policies, quality gates, automated tests, environment promotion).
• Guiding design decisions for data models and storage (transactional, time series, and object stores) supporting high volume UT acquisitions and reporting use cases.
• Codifying the architecture principles for scalability resilience and secure-by-default services; publish reference implementation and golden paths for teams building the software platform modules.
• Selecting fit for purpose technologies (APIs, messaging, caches) and define SLOs / SLIs and error budgets with end to end observability to reduce MTTR.
• Partnering with security on IAM, secrets management, and policy as code; ensure compliance with relevant NDT / UT practices and internal quality systems.
• Mentoring junior engineers and collaborate with product, DevOps, QA, and instrument teams to ensure seamless hardware–software integration, high usability, and serviceability in the field.
• Leading design and code reviews; coach teams on domain driven design, API contracts, event choreography, and fault tolerant patterns.
• Translating USPAR architecture into roadmaps, risks, and measurable outcomes; communicate progress with clarity to leadership and cross functional stakeholders.
