Software Engineer, R&D Platforms

Research & Development Software Engineer to build software systems that enable fast, rigorous experimental engineering across our R&D organization. This role supports test campaigns, prototype development, lab systems, engineering analysis, and verification and validation activities by creating tools, automation frameworks, data workflows, and hardware/software interfaces that allow engineers to collect high-quality data and make better technical decisions. The ideal candidate writes production-quality Python and C++, debug DAQ or networking issues in a lab, structures experimental data, builds tools used by other engineers, and contributes to scalable R&D software and V&V workflows across stacks from quick scripts to durable internal tools and test infrastructure. Responsibilities include building software-hardware interface tools, developing test automation frameworks for lab equipment and DAQ systems, creating interfaces to collect/process/store/visualize/report data, building internal experiment tools, developing Python-based data workflows, collaborating across mechanical/electrical/nuclear/controls/manufacturing/testing teams, supporting V&V activities, maintaining configuration control and data integrity, debugging in lab/test environments, and maintaining clear documentation.
