The Company Luffy AI is an exciting high-tech startup developing adaptive neural networks for industrial control & robotics. Luffy specialises in “Micro AI” controllers that can be trained in simulation on digital twins and successfully transferred into real world systems. The Micro AI controllers can be deployed on existing controller hardware with a small footprint and no internet connection.
Our networks use neural plasticity to learn the dynamics of the equipment they are placed in and continue to adapt long after training. These innovations allow us to overcome the difficulty of applying AI in control system applications.
Our transformational AI technology allows process industries and manufacturers to improve productivity and save energy, and allows industrial automation vendors to simplify and extend the operating envelope of their machines. This revolutionary control technology is a key enabler of Industry 4.0, with huge potential in foundation industries such as metals, glass and cement manufacturing, as well as in automation sectors such as electric motors and robotic systems.
We are looking for a skilled and experienced Software Engineer to join our multidisciplinary delivery team. The team is responsible for building simulation models, (digital twin simulations), training AI controllers and deploying the developed AI controllers into industrial customer hardware.
As a Software Engineer, your main responsibility is writing clean and efficient code. The ideal candidate has strong tenure building software solutions in Python and at least one compiled language, such as C++, C, C# or Rust.
Contribute to the design, development and ongoing support of our Simulation Modelling and AI Control software products.
Participate in code reviews to ensure adherence to best practices and high-quality code.
Participate in daily stand-up and regular refinement and planning meetings as part of a team-based, Scrum environment.
