We're supporting an innovative technology organisation developing advanced scientific and engineering products used around the world. As software continues to play an increasingly important role in product development, we're looking for a Software Engineer to join a collaborative R&D team working on complex desktop applications that interact closely with sophisticated hardware systems.
This is an opportunity to work on challenging engineering problems, contribute to long-term product development and help shape the future direction of world-class technology.
THE OPPORTUNITY
You'll be responsible for developing and enhancing Windows-based desktop software used within advanced scientific and engineering systems. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you'll contribute to software design, architecture, implementation and testing whilst collaborating closely with other engineers across hardware, systems and software disciplines.
This role would suit a Software Engineer who enjoys understanding how systems work beneath the surface and has experience building robust, maintainable software products rather than purely web-based applications.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
- Designing, developing and maintaining desktop software applications using C# and Microsoft technologies
- Contributing to software architecture, application design and long-term technical direction
- Developing robust and maintainable code using object-oriented design principles and recognised design patterns
- Building software that interacts closely with complex hardware and engineering systems
- Working within Agile development teams to deliver new product functionality and enhancements
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Good understanding of object-oriented design, software architecture and design patterns
- Experience developing multithreaded, concurrent or asynchronous applications
- Experience designing software interfaces, APIs and maintainable application structures
- Experience working on software products within engineering, scientific, instrumentation, medical device or hardware-focused environments
DESIRABLE EXPERIENCE
- WPF, XAML or MVVM
- Hardware integration, instrument control or data acquisition systems
- Scientific, imaging, measurement or engineering products
- Real-time or performance-critical software applications
WE WANT YOU!
We're looking for engineers who enjoy solving complex problems and taking ownership of software design, rather than simply implementing requirements. If you have a passion for software engineering, enjoy working close to hardware and want to contribute to products that combine software, engineering and innovation, we'd love to hear from you.
