• Collaborate with researchers to translate scientific challenges into computational solutions.
• Develop and maintain tools for data analysis, simulations, modelling, automation, and visualisation, and improve existing software used in our research (mostly MATLAB and Python).
• Refactor and optimise code for performance, usability, and reproducibility, pply best practices, such as version control, testing, documentation, and packaging for reuse, ensuring research code is sustainable, scalable, and shareable across teams.
• Integrate software with experimental hardware and data acquisition systems.
• Manage and support high-performance computing (HPC) and cloud/cluster workflows, and help design, deploy, and run efficient computational pipelines for large datasets or parallel processing.
• Mentor and support researchers (PhDs, postdocs, staff) in developing their own tools, promoting good software practices, offering training and guidance on scientific programming workflows.
• Maintain group servers, data storage, monitor and troubleshoot experimental software/hardware systems, ensure reliable day-to-day IT operations for research., The position is salaried and based on the collective agreement of the Länder (TV-L). If the personal and collective agreement requirements are met, the employee will receive pay grade E13 TV-L.
