Software Engineer / Research Engineer

You will be part of our R&D team working on solutions to enhance optical hardware performance and imaging quality for the next generation of space telescopes, including developing and implementing software for experimental setups in the laboratory.

• Python
• NumPy / Pandas
• Computer Vision (OpenCV, scikit-image)
• Git, Linux, Docker
• Testing (pytest) and writing reliable, maintainable code
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
• Clear communication with cross-disciplinary teams

Nice to have:

• Knowledge of optics / mathematics / physics
• C/C++
• Basic control systems (Motion systems like hexapods, PID)
• Experience with ML for image analysis (PyTorch)

• Hardware/API/SDK integration
• Writing code for control systems and sensors
• Development of optical algorithms
• Direct support of ML Engineers, Data Scientists, Opticians etc.
• Preparing and performing tests
• Writing and maintaining the documentation
• Hardware setup

Work is hybrid! You will sometimes need to enter the lab where the hardware is manufactured.
