Job Title:Applications Software Developer 1

Department:ERIK | National eXtreme Ultrafast Science

The Software Developer will contribute to the development of the software to control the NeXUS laboratory systems. The NSF NeXUS is a state-of-the-art laser facility dedicated to studying electron dynamics using XUV/soft x-rays and a variety of scientific instrumentation.

The Software Developer will develop code (using Python, C++, and potentially other languages) to provide object-oriented software interfaces to system components and combine those software interfaces in several Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) that enable NeXUS experiments. The types of components include control motors, sensors, cameras, digitizers, and commercial systems. Some components are supported by vendor application programming interfaces (APIs), and others will require the Software Developer to program a custom API. Some components operate with high data rates and/or generate large data sets that may require multi-threading or parallel processing. An object-oriented approach will be used to provide flexibility around hardware changes.

The GUIs will be used by scientists conducting experiments using the system. The GUIs will use the software interfaces to execute system actions, collect data from sensors, and provide users with feedback. The functionality of GUIs will be specified by project scientists, and GUIs will need to be reconfigurable to support expected variations in system operation. The Software Developer will work with project scientists to iteratively release, troubleshoot, and improve the GUIs with feedback from project scientists and system users.

The Software Developer will be the lead software expert for the project and will be responsible for all stages of code development, including testing and quality assurance. The Software Developer will ensure that sufficient code documentation is created to enable other software developers to understand and adapt the functionality. The Software Developer will train project scientists to operate and configure the GUIs.

Required experience:

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, or related field
• One year of experience with Python and C++ programming language.
• One year of experience with GUI development.
• One year of experience developing software interfaces for electrical or electro-mechanical equipment.

Desired experience:

• One year experience developing user documentation and/or training material.
• Understanding of LabView and/or Matlab code to support reprogramming previously developed software tools.

A resume is required to be submitted to be considered for this position.
