We are seeking a Scientific Software Engineer to contribute to the development of next-generation Fourier Transform Infrared and other analytical instrumentation. This role requires a unique individual who can bridge the gap between complex physical principles and robust software architecture.
The Scientific Software Engineer will be involved in translating high-level user requirements and physical phenomena into technical specifications, architectural designs, and production-ready code. You will operate within a multidisciplinary project team, extending existing platforms and creating new product designs that aim to drive significant market growth.
This position demands more than just data science capabilities; it requires a fundamental understanding of physics to model instrument behaviour, control opto-mechanical systems, and interpret scientific data correctly.
This role is based on site at our offices in High Wycombe.
- Physics-Based Development: Apply a strong understanding of physics to develop algorithms that turn raw sensor data into actionable scientific insight. This involves signal processing, instrument control loops, and physical modelling rather than purely statistical data analysis.
- System Integration: Work closely with hardware engineers to bring up new boards, debug complex opto-electronic systems, and ensure seamless integration between hardware and software.
- Innovation: Propose technology concepts involved in next-generation product development, specifically focusing on thermal analysis and materials characterization.
- Collaboration: responsible for the low-level software coding and algorithms and manufacturing support and collaborate with cross-functional for high level application coding
