Software Systems Engineer jobs in Kentucky

IRD, LLC,  is the global leader in the rotating apparatus technology, specifically IRD Balancing equipment and Lexseco Core Loss Test equipment. Currently, IRD seeks a software engineer to design, develop, and maintain software and firmware for its products, as well as advance all company systems.  A very minor role will manage the IT infrastructure, including server and software programs.

We enjoy the fact that we are a small, family owned business (with relations with Krauth Electric Company) with less than 50 employees where everyone knows your name! 

A comprehensive benefit package is available for employees.

Pay will be commensurate with experience between the range of $75000 to 95000 per year. Signing and service bonuses available after 60 days, 6 months, and 1 year upon successful completion of reviews. Growth in pay will occur as you help us grow our products. Apply today!
