About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to take ownership of a strategically important initiative: building the software platform for our next-generation hardware.

In this role, you will lead the software architecture and user interface development of this true greenfield project within an agile engineering team, where your choices directly define the platform's foundation.

You will be responsible for building a high-performance desktop GUI and the core business logic engine using a modern Qt and C++ stack. Furthermore, you will develop an accessible Python scripting and prototyping layer that empowers our hardware engineers and scientific researchers to rapidly test and validate new features. A crucial part of your daily work will involve collaborating closely with embedded developers to design robust communication protocols and clean API boundaries across microcontrollers, embedded boards, and networked hardware nodes. This greenfield development will take approximately 70% of your time.

Alongside this greenfield development, we also need your expertise to maintain our existing Java-based desktop control software, SenSpec. You will build diagnostic features and software hooks to keep physical hardware testing moving fast. At the same time, you will resolve critical field
