Algorithms engineer for EISCAT_3D

EISCAT AB is recruiting an algorithms engineer to develop software forEISCAT_3D, the world's most advanced scientific radar.

The focus of the role is mathematically oriented programming and the implementation of algorithms for the data processing pipeline.

EISCAT is currently collaborating with the Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) to develop methods to more accurately measure the orbital parameters of known hard targets, including compensation for wave propagation through the atmosphere. Part of this position at EISCAT is to integrate these algorithms into our current analysis package. It is expected that the work will also include working on the new data analysis pipeline as well as working on development of other parts of the system software.

The position is focused on implementing mathematical algorithms and data processing. The candidate should ideally have a good foundation in both mathematics and signal processing, be comfortable working with older codebases and have experience writing high performance code.

EISCAT_3D is expected to be in operation for decades, so we are looking for candidates with a long term view and an interest in radar or radio technology. The team is spread across multiple locations and time zones, so candidates should have good communication skills and be comfortable taking the initiative with their work.
