• Excellent systems engineering awareness and project delivery skills
• Experienced working across multidisciplinary teams and managing complex technical work packages
• Skills in Windows and Linux native software development (C/C++)
• Experience with dynamic languages such as Python
• Knowledge of GPU acceleration and 3D graphics pipelines (OpenGL, GLSL, CUDA, Vulkan)
• Strong software engineering foundations: software architecture, concurrency, synchronisation, database design
• Appreciation of or interest in learning physics related to EM radiation propagation, coherent phenomena, and thermal analysis
• Creative problem‑solver able to design and deliver innovative modelling approaches
• Strong communicator, able to collaborate across multiple projects and engineering areas

• Company bonus
