Software Engineer

The Impact and Shock Mechanics Laboratory (ISML) is seeking a highly motivated
and innovative scientist to develop and lead a new data science project as a
software engineer through a Prosperity Partnership on Inertial Fusion Energy,
sponsored by UKRI and First Light Fusion, and in collaboration with Imperial
College London, Oxford Physics, and University of York. The ability to think
outside the box with creativity, along with having the drive and ambition to
develop those ideas in a highly integrated numerical/experimental research
landscape is what we value in our colleagues.





You will be working alongside full-time researchers generating a wide range of
scientific data, from raw experimental measurements, to analysed results,
through to simulation outputs. You will contribute to the creation and
implementation of a universal schema and data storing standard, to be used
across the Partnership, to ensure access, compatibility, and utilisation in
advanced computational routines.





You will hold a Master’s degree in engineering, computer science or related
subject and have expertise in programming languages, e.g. C++ / Java / Python
/ Matlab. Familiarity with data serialisation formats, e.g. JSON, YAML
together with expertise with building and querying database and s version
control tools is essential.





Informal enquiries may be addressed to Prof Daniel Eakins
(daniel.eakins@eng.ox.ac.uk).
