• Strong experience in desktop GUI development
• Experience with RAD Studio (desirable) or Visual Studio
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Experience leading or taking ownership of software projects
• Excellent communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders

Desirable Experience

• Scientific, research, or manufacturing environments
• Developing GUI applications for scientific users
• Data acquisition or statistical data analysis
• APIs and inter-process communication
• Exposure to vacuum systems or laboratory equipment
• Understanding of compliance requirements for regulated markets
• BSc (or higher) in Computer Science or related discipline

• Initially on-site (5 days per week)
• Potential for ad hoc flexibility after probation (by discussion)

Salary & Benefits

• Enjoys building robust, high-performance software
• Is confident taking technical ownership and leading projects
• Wants to work on meaningful scientific applications
