Software Engineer - ID43210

Were working with a world-class engineering team developing the next generation of precision control and computing systems - technology thats already setting new global standards for performance, stability, and scalability.

This isnt a web or product engineering role. Youll be part of a small, collaborative team building real-time software that directly controls and coordinates complex physical systems . Your work will sit at the intersection of software, electronics, and experimental science , helping to solve problems that have never been tackled before.

What youll be doing

  • Designing and developing robust, high-performance software in C++ and Python , with some exposure to Rust for performance-critical systems.
  • Building and maintaining software that controls custom hardware and instrumentation in real-time environments.
  • Developing data acquisition, synchronisation, and analysis pipelines to support advanced experimental setups.
  • Implementing automation and control logic to increase precision, reliability, and system throughput.
  • Working closely with scientists and engineers from multiple disciplines to translate experimental requirements into clean, testable code.
  • Contributing to internal software frameworks, testing infrastructure, and continuous integration pipelines.

What were looking for

  • Experience developing C++ and/or Python systems that interact with real-world hardware or instruments.
  • Good understanding of embedded systems , device communication protocols , or real-time control software .
  • Familiarity with Linux , Git , and modern software development workflows.
  • A solid grasp of data structures, algorithms, and concurrency.
  • A genuine curiosity for how software, hardware, and science come together to achieve something new.
  • Interest or experience in Rust , or modern systems programming techniques, is a plus.

This role would suit a Software Engineer who enjoys hands-on work - building systems that directly control or measure physical processes. If you love problem solving, working in multidisciplinary teams, and seeing your code make real-world impact, this environment will push and reward you.
