We are seeking an experienced Principal Software Engineer to lead the development of advanced scientific instrumentation within a multidisciplinary R&D environment. This hands‑on technical leadership role requires deep expertise in software architecture, embedded systems, and a strong foundation in physics. You will translate physical principles and user requirements into robust, production‑ready systems spanning firmware, hardware integration, and high‑level applications.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead architecture across embedded firmware (C/C++) and application software (C#/.NET).
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to Software, Firmware, and Electronics Engineers.
- Develop physics‑based algorithms for signal processing, instrument control, and data interpretation.
- Integrate software with complex opto‑electronic and hardware systems.
- Define development standards, drive Agile practices, and implement CI/CD pipelines.
- Contribute to next‑generation product innovation in thermal analysis and materials characterisation.
Requirements
- Honours degree in Physics, Mathematics, or Engineering (with strong Physics basis).
- 10+ years’ commercial software development experience.
- Expert in C#/.NET; strong C/C++ for embedded systems.
- Experience with hardware communication protocols (I2C, SPI, USB, Ethernet).
- Proven leadership within multidisciplinary engineering teams.
- Background in scientific instrumentation, industrial automation, or similar hardware‑integrated environments.
Desirable Skills
- Signal processing (FFT, digital filtering) or image processing.
- MATLAB or Python for prototyping.
- Cloud/IoT connectivity (Azure/AWS).
- Experience leading multi‑discipline teams.
This is a high‑impact role for a technically strong leader with a “first principles” mindset who can bridge physics and software to deliver innovative, market‑leading products.
