Manchester | Office day once every 2 months | Salary to be discussed on qualification + benefits
I'm working with an exciting Tech for Good / Energy Tech business focused on accelerating the transition to low-carbon heating. Their technology is already being used across connected devices, and they're now looking for a Lead Modelling Software Engineer to take ownership of the modelling and optimisation engines behind the platform. This isn't a typical software engineering role.
You will be working where mathematical modelling, physics, software engineering and real-world IoT data come together - building technology with a genuine purpose.
You'll be:
- Building and improving mathematical models around thermal dynamics and heating behaviour
- Developing optimisation algorithms using real-world sensor and telemetry data
- Translating mathematical models and control theory into robust Python software
- Working with weather, energy, tariff and smart meter data to test and validate models
- Building simulation and testing environments
- Improving the reliability and performance of models running across thousands of connected devices
- Taking technical ownership of projects and working closely with the wider engineering team
- Supporting the evolution of the modelling platform, including work moving from Python towards C++
We're looking for someone with strong Python and mathematical modelling experience who enjoys taking complex models and turning them into production-ready software.
You'll ideally have experience with:
- Strong Python
- NumPy, Pandas and SciPy
- Mathematical modelling, optimisation or numerical methods
- Dynamical systems / control theory
- Model Predictive Control (MPC) would be highly beneficial
- Software engineering best practice, testing and CI/CD
- Working with real-world or physical systems/data
- Technical leadership or ownership of projects
AWS experience would be useful, but isn't essential.
C/C++ experience would also be a bonus, but they're happy to support someone in developing this skill. A Master's or PhD in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or another highly quantitative discipline would be advantageous, but strong relevant commercial experience is equally important.
This is an opportunity to have genuine ownership over a core piece of technology, working directly with the Head of Engineering, leading technically and managing one engineer while remaining highly hands-on.
If you're interested in Tech for Good, Energy Tech, mathematical modelling, optimisation or building technology with a genuine purpose, I'd love to hear from you.
