We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our team developing software solutions to control our HW in Python on Linux for various internal engineering groups, including chip designers, algorithm engineers, PHY characterization engineers, optics engineers, and other R&D teams. Our work includes building and maintaining a framework, as well as developing GUI tools that support complex engineering workflows. This role combines advanced software engineering with a hardware-oriented perspective the ideal candidate should have both the interest and background in areas such as hardware, Linux systems, and low-level drivers.
Collaborate with the development team to improve existing framework and tools, suggest creative solutions, and develop new projects.
In our group, software engineers are responsible for the full lifecycle of solutions from defining requirements and designing architectures to implementation, integration, and delivery. This approach allows every team member to grow professionally, develop a broad skills, and unlock their full potential.
What youll be doing:
Design, develop, and maintain Python-based software solutions (framework, internal tools, GUI applications with PyQt).
Collaborate with internal customers including chip designers, algorithm engineers, optics engineers, PHY characterization engineers, and other R&D teams to understand requirements and translate them into robust solutions.
Take full ownership of projects: define the solution, design the architecture, implement, integrate, and support production-ready tools.
Extend existing framework and tools, while also designing and implementing new ones from scratch.
Work within Linux environments, integrating software with hardware interfaces, drivers, and engineering workflows.
Apply OOP principles and design patterns to build scalable, maintainable software architectures.
Requirements: What We Need To See:
B.Sc in Electrical or Software Engineering.
5+ years of proven experience in Python software development.
Proficiency in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and solid understanding of design patterns.
Experience with GUI development (PyQt or similar frameworks).
Understanding of hardware systems, circuits, or engineering workflows.
Hands-on experience in Linux systems, including software/hardware interaction and exposure to drivers.
Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset, with attention to both detail and big-picture architecture.
Excellent communication skills and ability to work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Familiarity with SerDes, optics, or related hardware.
Experience with DevOps, CI/CD, or containerized development environments.
Knowledge of REST APIs and backend frameworks (Django, FastAPI) including data validation tools (Pydantic).
Practical experience with databases (e.g., MongoDB or equivalent experience) and visualization tools (e.g., Matplotlib).
This position is open to all candidates.
