Position: PhD Software Engineer, R&D
Bring your PhD software engineering skills to bear in a technical field

This company produce high grade modelling and optimisation software with applications in physical processes and logistics. Their innovation group combine research and development, from algorithms to computational models to production software.

They are seeking a PhD Software Engineer to join their team. You’ll have the chance to contribute to R&D, but in particular you will bring software development expertise, gained through work carried out during your PhD.

You will therefore have:

* A PhD (or a Master’s degree and equivalent experience) in Physics, Maths, Computer Science or a similar discipline.

* Good communication skills, with the ability to collaborate closely with colleagues from other disciplines.

* Full work permission for the UK without time limit or the need for sponsorship.

You will likely have contributed to a substantial codebase, and had to consider factors such as object-oriented design, principles such as KISS and DRY, and potentially even SOLID principles.

It is also likely that your experience has given you additional skills in computational modelling, simulation, or machine learning, which would be beneficial.

This is a full time, office-based position in Guildford, Surrey. The company offers an extremely competitive package including a strong pension, additional holiday, medical cover and bonuses.
