US Citizenship or Permanent Residency is Required.
We are an established engineering company with a world-class offering of optical metrology products looking for a skilled software engineer to contribute towards the development of application code. This is a serious engineering position – not a fuzzy web-development opportunity! The person we are looking for will have strengths in programming applications that interface with peripheral hardware such as cameras, frame-grabbers, motion control systems etc, and a proven record writing creative bulletproof code. Mathematical aptitude (do you know what a fast Fourier transform is?) and experience with optics or image processing is a big plus. And if you can turn your hand to a little firmware programming then so much the better! This position reports to a senior software engineer, but requires a high degree of self-motivation as well as the ability to work in multidisciplinary teams. If you are this person and are looking for an opportunity to use your programming skills to write code that does something useful, then please contact us!
