Encore Wire

Full-time

McKinney, TX

Job description

About Us:

Encore Wire (www.encorewire.com), a Prysmian Brand is a leading manufacturer of residential, commercial and industrial copper and aluminum electrical wire and cable solutions. Encore Wire’s 460-acre single-campus and over 3.5 million sq. ft. under roof allows for deep inventory levels and unmatched delivery times. Our innovative wire pulling solutions, award winning colored wire and Metal-Clad and Armored Clad SmartColorID® identification system promote cost and labor savings and safety.

Our software development team plays a key role in optimizing operations across manufacturing, sales, and distribution—building and maintaining systems that help power everything from factory automation to enterprise applications. We partner closely with business units across the organization to deliver high-impact, custom software solutions that improve efficiency, reliability, and scalability.

Position Overview:

As a Software Developer at Encore Wire, you will design, build, and support software solutions that directly enable our business operations to run smoothly. You’ll work in a collaborative environment with a mix of independent projects and team-based initiatives, contributing to applications that handle manufacturing workflows, logistics, accounting, and more.

The ideal candidate is a strong problem solver who enjoys technical challenges, has an analytical mindset, and thrives in both individual and collaborative settings. More importantly, a candidate MUST be self-motivated as he/she will be working and collaborating on a small team and may not have the constant oversight that is experienced on bigger teams.

Key Responsibilities:

While specific duties may be tailored to your experience and strengths, you’ll be expected to:

  • Design, develop, test, document, and deploy software solutions that meet both business and technical requirements. These include requirements for IT to be able to support and maintain any customization that the business may or may not have specified.
  • Participate in all phases of the software development lifecycle—from requirements gathering through deployment and post-implementation support.
  • Train and support end users on new features or applications.
  • Diagnose and resolve complex issues across multiple platforms using systematic debugging and analysis techniques.
  • Provide advanced technical support for production systems, minimizing downtime and ensuring reliability.
  • Conduct root-cause analysis for recurring issues and implement long-term corrective measures.
  • Monitor execution logs, system health, and automation jobs; proactively respond to failures to ensure continuity of operations.
  • Collaborate with business users to resolve data issues or user errors and reprocess transactions as necessary.
  • Continuously analyze existing systems and processes, identifying opportunities for optimization, modernization, or automation.
  • Research and evaluate emerging technologies and frameworks to recommend improvements.
  • Contribute to team projects through code reviews, documentation, and shared learning

Qualifications:

  • Ability to translate business requirements into effective technical solutions.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with meticulous attention to detail.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, capable of bridging technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Highly self-motivated with the ability to work independently or within a collaborative team.
  • Adaptable and eager to learn new technologies, tools, and frameworks.
  • Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
  • Customer-focused mindset with a commitment to quality, reliability, and continuous improvement.
  • Proactive in identifying issues, inefficiencies, and improvement opportunities.
