Senior Software Engineer

We're hiring our first Software Engineer to build control and imaging software, unifying the user experience and data pipelines of our Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Why Join Bharat Atomic We're building India's first commercial Scanning Electron Microscope. A platform that doesn't just see the nanoscale, but also patterns and measures it with rigor. If you want to help seed a home-grown semiconductor-equipment ecosystem, this is a rare builder's seat: full-stack instrumentation where optics, electronics, mechanics, and software meet. Your mission Make a complex instrument feel simple. Build the control software that delivers quick first image, synchronized multi-channel acquisition, and analysis-ready data with rich metadata, wrapped in a user-friendly UI. What you'll do Own the control layer that unifies imaging, analytics, motion, safety, and diagnostics. Implement a high-throughput, lossless data pipeline with structured metadata. With a focus on reproducibility. Design guided workflows (with smart defaults and checks) so new users are productive immediately. Add self-tests and logs that shorten service loops and de-risk installs. Collaborate with Electronics and Optics to validate features end-to-end and raise the quality bar of our SEM. Who you are Shipped software for instruments or devices. Strong in concurrency, I/O, and data modeling. Thoughtful about UX for technical users. Pragmatic about reliability, installers, and updates. Comfortable integrating with FPGAs/DAQs and writing clean APIs for scripting. How we'll know it's working Users achieve a first image quickly with minimal steps. Zero-loss captures and trustworthy metadata over long sessions. Acceptance checks are fast and repeatable. Low bug escape. You'll shape architecture and culture as part of the founding team, work hands-on, and ship a tool that moves research and industry forward. If this resonates with you, reach out - we'd love to talk!
