Job Description

The software engineering team at Nanoscribe develops software for controlling high-precision 3D laser printers. The software is a stack of modules that covers everything from a touch-based user interface to numerical algorithms and 3D geometry processing to the control of different hardware components such as sensors, cameras, etc. The software stack follows a layered client/server architecture, with different communication protocols connecting the layers.

As part of our software engineering team, you will work closely with engineers and domain experts on various R&D projects. You will have the chance to bring in your own ideas and contribute to product definitions.

Your Day-to-day Tasks Will Include

• Discussing and clarifying requirements with our internal domain experts
• Breaking requirements down into manageable work packages, estimating effort, and identifying technical dependencies
• Designing and developing algorithms that span and are optimized across various layers of our software stack
• Designing and developmenting software that interacts with specific hardware components
• Continuously optimizing the functionality and quality of the software for better scalability, maintainability and performance

Your profile

• You have successfully completed your studies in computer science, mathematics, physics, or engineering
• You have several years of experience as a software engineer, with a solid understanding of software architecture and design principles
• You are fluent in Python and can find your way in a large codebase
• You are familiar with AI-assisted development workflows and best practices for productive, responsible use of AI coding tools
• Experience with numerical algorithms, GPU graphics, and computational geometry on 3D meshes is a plus
• Experience with near-hardware programming, such as interfacing to cameras and sensors, or FPGA development is a plus
• Knowledge of software security principles and secure coding practices is a plus
• You are motivated, enjoy working in a team, and appreciate clean code

Our offer

At Nanoscribe, highly qualified employees from over 15 countries are working on the future of microfabrication. We are passionate about enabling groundbreaking scientific findings and driving industrial innovation. A good work-life balance is just as important to us as constructive teamwork. We promote team spirit with a variety of team events such as a barbecue on our roof terrace or our New Year's party, where the theme changes.

Our corporate culture is characterized by flat hierarchies, co-determination and constructive, open communication at all levels. With us, you can expect a challenging and varied area of responsibility that offers you a great deal of creative freedom.

We offer you

• Pension allowance
• 30 days vacation
• A state-of-the-art workplace in the new Zeiss Innovation Hub in front of the KIT Campus North
• Attractive benefits such as a subsidy for the EGYM Wellpass fitness network, bike leasing, Guudcard, capital-forming benefits or for the canteen
• Employee discounts via the Corporate Benefits program
• Employee development meetings
• Individual further training measures
• Option to work partially remotely
