Senior Qt Software Engineer - Laser Simulation & Scientific Visualization

We are looking for a highly skilled C++ / Qt Developer to join a cutting-edge project developing advanced simulation and visualization tools for laser and photonics systems.

The role combines scientific computing, real-time visualization, and modern GUI development to create a professional software platform for optical simulations.

You will design and implement the application’s core modules, graphical interface, and computational workflow, working closely with optical engineers and physicists.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop desktop applications for laser and optics simulation using C++ and Qt (Qt5/Qt6).
• Implement scientific visualization and data analysis interfaces (2D/3D field maps, wave propagation, intensity distributions).
• Integrate numerical solvers (FDTD / FEM / BPM) and manage data flow between computational core and GUI.
• Optimize performance and memory usage for complex physical simulations.
• Collaborate with physics and algorithm teams to translate models into robust, user-friendly tools.
• Maintain clean, modular code architecture (CMake, Git, CI/CD).

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in C++ software development.
• Proven experience with Qt (Widgets, QML, Signals/Slots, multi-threading).
• Experience in scientific or engineering software development (simulation, visualization, modeling).
• Strong understanding of object-oriented design and software architecture.
• Working knowledge of OpenGL / VTK / GPU acceleration – an advantage.
• Familiarity with optics, photonics, or electromagnetic simulation – a strong plus.
• Experience with Python bindings (PyBind11 / Boost.Python) – a plus.
• B.Sc. or higher in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related discipline.

Nice to Have

• Experience with tools like MEEP, COMSOL, Lumerical, Zemax, or similar.
• Knowledge of numerical methods (FDTD, FEM, RCWA).
• Background in photonics R&D or scientific instrumentation.
• Familiarity with GPU computing (CUDA/OpenCL).

What We Offer

• Opportunity to lead the development of innovative laser simulation software from the ground up.
• Work at the intersection of physics, engineering, and advanced software design.
• Flexible environment, small expert team, and real technological impact.
