3 weeks ago
We are recruiting for a talented and experienced Software Engineer to help develop a novel optical sensing platform for environmental monitoring.
Within the technical team, you will:
- Drive the design, development, testing and maintenance of the core control and acquisition software for Mode Labs' sensor platform.
- Collaborate with hardware engineers to define software interfaces and integrate software components with instrument hardware and electronics.
- Develop data analysis and visualisation tools for real-time data interpretation and offline analysis.
- Maintain comprehensive software documentation, manage version control and a bug/ issue tracking system.
Requirements
You will have a technical background in software development for scientific instrumentation with a degree or equivalent industrial experience in physical sciences who will thrive working as part of a small passionate team.
You will be able to demonstrate that you have most of the following (desired experience), languages are given as examples and are not restrictive:
- Relevant industrial experience in the development of software for the automation, data acquisition and control of scientific instrumentation.
- Experience in designing and implementing data analysis and visualisation tools (e.g. Python, R, Julia).
- Experience developing software for hardware/ instrument control (e.g. C++, C, Rust).
- Experience preparing software for prototyping electronics IO (e.g. Arduino, Raspberry Pi)
- Experience in software deployment, version control and unit/ integration tests.
- Working knowledge of electronics, software and optics domains.
Senior positions may be considered for those with additional experience:
- A background in spectroscopy and optics.
- Experience in defining specifications for electronics control systems and liaising with external electronics suppliers.
- Experience in functional user interface design for systems control.
- Experience working in an SME/ Start-up environment.
Benefits
Salary will be dependent upon level of skill and experience. We therefore anticipate the following:
- £48k – £54k for applicants with experience working within a research or technical environment with the desired experience required.
- £54k – £60k for applicants who can also demonstrate the additional experience listed above.
Other Benefits:
- Employee share option scheme
- 9-day fortnight work pattern (every 2nd Friday off)
- Flexible working arrangements where possible
- 25 days paid leave and bank holidays
- Annual discretionary training allowance
- Company matched pension contributions up to 5%.
- Travel to work loan scheme
These roles are advertised as full-time, however, part-time would be considered at a minimum of 0.8 FTE. We are pleased to accommodate flexible and hybrid working where appropriate but, as a small company focussed on technology development, we find hands-on system and collaboration time to be highly valuable, so encourage time spent in the office and expect this when required.
-------------------------------
Job Closing Date: Until position is filled. Applications will be reviewed as received so this vacancy may be closed earlier; early applications are therefore encouraged.
Interview Dates: Starting March 2025
Interview Process: Initial telephone/ video calls will be used for shortlisting candidates. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an in-person interview. The in-person interview may include a short technical assessment based on the above job description or a short presentation of previous experience. Candidates will be informed in advance of this.
Eligibility: Right to work in the UK required. We are unable to sponsor visas at this time.
