Base pay range

A company at the forefront of developing intricate scientific systems is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join their team. In this role, you’ll go beyond routine coding tasks and focus on developing complete solutions.

You’ll work on everything from front-end interaction and data handling to integrating with specialized hardware components. Essentially, you’ll be creating the software “nervous system” for cutting-edge imaging and inspection technology. You’ll operate within a close-knit, interdisciplinary group dedicated to continually enhancing the company’s core platforms.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Architectural Design: Consider the entire software stack—from how users engage with the application, through data analysis workflows, to the lower-level connections with sensors and control units.
  • Software Implementation: Develop robust, maintainable software primarily in Python, ensuring it easily interfaces with complex instrumentation while embracing test-driven development.
  • Technical Innovation: Investigate and address challenging engineering issues, conceiving smart, high-performance solutions that expand the boundaries of what’s possible.

Essential Qualifications & Experience:

  • Professional Background: A minimum of five years’ experience as a software engineer working within environments that blend hardware and software—this might include areas like specialized measurement devices, automated industrial machinery, embedded systems, or imaging equipment.
  • Educational Foundation: A strong physics background is highly advantageous—preferably a Bachelor’s degree in Physics or an equivalent credential combined with a solid understanding of physical principles.
  • Technical Expertise: A deep command of Python, experience working closely with hardware plus proven experience developing scientific or analytical applications using numerical and engineering-oriented Python tools (e.g., NumPy, SciPy).
