Job description

OverviewBruker currently has an opening for an Algorithm Developer to work on the next generation of electron microscope imaging methods. The position will primarily be responsible for transforming theoretical concepts into practical applications, developing technological advancements, and problem-solving existing methods in the fields of computational imaging and electron microscopy. The successful candidate will work closely with the UK software team, who develop Bruker Nion electron microscope software, as well as with the Kirkland, Seattle, electron microscope R&D team. The role will be principally based in Sheffield, UK, with occasional visits to Bruker’s Kirkland, Seattle, office where Nion electron microscopes are developed and built.Responsibilities

• Transform theoretical concepts into practical algorithm implementations for use on Bruker Nion electron microscopes
• Rigorously test and refine implemented algorithms to ensure maximum performance
• Keep abreast of the latest scientific developments in electron microscopy, with a particular focus on computational imaging innovations
• Formulate new algorithm concepts, communicate these to multiple teams with diverse backgrounds, and collaborate with them to implement and test the concepts
• Develop a deep understanding of electron microscope imaging theory and operation
• Become familiar with the Nion Swift software source code and implement algorithms that can be embedded within this environment

Qualifications

• MSc or PhD in physical sciences or a software engineering-related field, with a strong element of mathematics
• Experience in designing, implementing, optimising, and validating complex algorithms
• Familiarity with image reconstruction methods, such as phase retrieval or ptychography
• Python, Matlab, C#/C++ and/or GPU programming knowledge
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities to meet development deadlines in a commercially focused environment
• Ability to communicate ideas clearly with colleagues in different departments, with a wide range of background experiences
• Desire and ability to learn the inner workings of complex scientific instruments and understand how individual components affect the big picture
• Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills

Desired Experience

• Familiarity with concepts in electron and conventional optics, charged particle physics, and solid-state physics
• Experience writing software that handles very large quantities of data
• A solid understanding of software performance optimisation (i.e. what makes a piece of code run fast/slow)
