Software Engineer (KTP Associate)

This job has now expired please search on the home page to find live IT Jobs.

Precision Acoustics Ltd have been at the forefront of the design, development and manufacture of ultrasonic measurement equipment for over 25 years.

We are partnering with Bournemouth University in a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) programme to undertake a strategically important development project. A vital element of this programme will be the role of the Software Engineer who, though employed by Bournemouth University, will work within Precision Acoustics and who will have a realistic prospect of being offered full time employment by us when the project is successfully completed.

The company specialises in the research and development of ultrasonic test equipment used extensively in the QA of medical devices, to provide industry with ultrasonic Non Destructive Examination (NDE) and within academia and national measurement institutes throughout the world.

Together with Bournemouth University we are looking for a Software Engineer to work on a joint project focused on the development of a new software platform (and associated output) to control acoustic and ultrasound measurement instrumentation.

For the successful candidate, this is an exciting opportunity to develop the skills required to plan, manage and execute a significant development project, working alongside and learning from industry experts in LabVIEW development and Agile software development. There is also a significant personal development budget available along with the opportunity to undertake a project-focused Masters in Research (MRes) at the University. Whilst the majority of KTP candidates remain with the industrial partner after the project, the skills acquired would be widely applicable and highly desirable in future employment opportunities.

The project will seek to develop a platform and agile development process that has the hallmarks of a well-engineered software system, including all documentation and verification outputs. The solution will ideally integrate existing software developed by the company from internal development, balancing the need for re-use against the need for a best-practice architecture. This must be undertaken in a way that supports the short, medium and long term business operations of the company.

This post is available for up to 18 months on a fixed-term basis
