Les vraies réussites sont celles que l'on partage

NUVIA UK's Technical Services & Consulting department is fast growing with hybrid opportunities available up and down the country. We're striving to create a multidisciplinary team to offer our clients the best range of talent.

This is a full time permanent opportunity and is a remote role.

BPSS clearance will be required at basic level. Prior clearance will not be transferable.

Job Purpose / Overview

Support the software development of engineering research software tools. Including, but not limited to, the translation of prototype MATLAB code to clean, extensible Python. Strategic direction will be provided, so the role will focus on implementing best practice coding in collaboration with others, to deliver the envisioned toolkit.

Principal Accountabilities

• collaborate with others to deliver research software tools, prioritising incremental development to ensure a robust foundation for future work
• apply best practices such as: abstraction, extensibility and computational performance
• maintain the Github repository (with code, docs, examples, tests, road map) to encourage dissemination
• prioritise incremental development enabling a robust foundation for further development.
• support generation of documentation, example datasets, unit and system-level testing etc.

• Proficient in scientific computing (Python, MATLAB, data processing, optimisation, result visualisation).
• Familiarity with software development best practices such as abstraction, testing and version control.
• Some understanding of experimental and computational mechanics (stress, strain, equilibrium) is desirable but not necessary.

Note: The focus of this role is scientific software development. The tools use camera-based measurements to determine strain fields (digital image correlation), and then mechanical properties (inverse identification).
