Mathematical C++ Software Engineer

Ecm Selection; Newcastle upon Tyne; On-site; GBP 40,000 - 80,000; Full time

Job description

Looking for a challenging software role with a high maths content? This company is seeking bright, PhD qualified candidates with numerate STEM backgrounds and coding skills in C++.

You would join an expert development team, working on clever algorithms and software tools that allow users within the electronics industry to solve difficult design problems with ease. Your involvement would span the entire development lifecycle from requirements gathering, software design and implementation, testing and problem solving to increase reliability and performance, and collaboration with colleagues both local and international. This team believes in giving engineers a high degree of ownership over substantial tasks, and a high level of self-motivation and self-organisation will be essential.

You will need:

• A 1st class degree in a numerate STEM subject from a top university
• A* or A grades at A level (or equivalent)
• A PhD in a relevant subject area
• Excellent mathematical ability – you must be happy working routinely on highly complex algorithmic code
• Good coding skills in C++ (unless you’re a computer science graduate, in which case we’ll expect excellent C++!)
• Strong communications and presentation skills, initiative, and self-organisation; you will be able to take on a sizeable chunk of work, research it, plan it, and see it through to completion with minimal oversight
• You’ll also need full, existing UK work permission without time limit or restriction.

This is a great opportunity to join a leading technology team based in a thriving town centre location. A highly competitive salary and benefits package is on offer to the successful candidate.
