Scientific Software Engineer

Job goal
Support the system architects and the software team in developing and integrating proof-of concepts and new research.

Job responsibilities and qualifications
You will work at the “interface” between the software engineers and the R&D department. We constantly develop new applications and features for our electron microscopes, and many of those require state-of-the-art mathematical modeling and/or data processing techniques. We are looking for a person who can help us “productize” new ideas faster. We have highly skilled scientists/engineers (mainly in the fields of physics and electronics), and a professional team of software developers. We sometimes “outsource” work to a mathematical engineering agency, but we want to increase our in-house knowledge in this area. We are looking for someone who has a good understanding of the mathematics involved, and knows enough about software to help the software team integrate the solution in a customer-ready product.

There is varying growth potential: towards identifying new applications yourself, and bringing these to a proof-of-concept status (including identifying customer needs), and/or towards becoming an expert/architect on specialized fields relating to image/data processing.
