Python Engineer – Opto-Mechanical System Automation - Temporary Position

Description:

What we are looking for:

Nova’s Dimensional Metrology Division (DMD) R&D group is seeking a Temporary Python Developer. 

The group focuses on development of emerging technologies and conducting concept and feasibility studies, covering experimental, theoretical, and algorithmic aspects. 

What will you be doing:

• Develop, test, and maintain Python utilities to support metrology system calibration. 
• Implement automated, cross-system diagnostic tests to evaluate accuracy and stability of metrology systems. 
• Lead the implementation and deployment of algorithm-driven and HW control software solutions as part of R&D for emerging technologies. 
• Transform research into innovative, user-ready products, driving them from concept to launch. 
• Ensure scalability, performance, and adherence to modern development practices. 

• B.Sc. in an engineering or scientific discipline (e.g., Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, Biomedical Engineering, Physics, Optical Engineering)
• Hands-on experience developing Python software for laboratory equipment control, automation, or measurement systems
• Experience in data acquisition, analysis, and experimental result processing
• Experience writing production-quality code (not just scripts or prototypes)
• Proficient understanding of:
• Code structure and modular design (clear separation of logic, reusable components)
• Readable and maintainable code (naming conventions, clarity, simplicity)
• Documentation (docstrings, usage instructions, clear explanations for future users)
• Error handling and robustness (graceful failure, logging, edge-case handling)
• Experience working in a shared codebase (version control, code reviews, collaboration with other developers)
• Ability to write code that others can easily understand, maintain, and extend over time
• Candidates must have at least 1year of real-world experience writing structured, maintainable Python code, beyond personal or ad-hoc scripting
