Software Engineer Job Description The Software Engineer will join the applications team and support a mature Windows desktop application that reconstructs complex data into 3D graphics for customers. This role focuses on maintaining and enhancing an existing application that was developed five years ago, including fixing defects, improving performance, and implementing new features to support advanced 3D visualization and analysis workflows. Responsibilities Support and maintain an existing Windows desktop application that reconstructs scientific and engineering data into 3D visualizations. Diagnose, troubleshoot, and fix bugs in a complex, multithreaded C# application to ensure stability and reliability. Design, develop, and implement new features and enhancements using C#, WPF, .NET, and related tools and frameworks. Apply MVVM design patterns to structure and organize application components for maintainability and scalability.

Work Environment The software supports advanced instrumentation used in national laboratories and semiconductor-related companies to research, analyze, and improve materials such as metal alloys and to perform quality control. In typical workflows, a sample is placed into the instrumentation, a high-voltage laser pulses the material, and atoms are released. A detector captures the location and type of atoms, and this data is collected, stored, and then processed by the application the team develops to reconstruct detailed 3D visualizations for customers. The environment is highly technical and data-driven, with close interaction between scientific instrumentation outputs and specialized desktop software that runs on Windows using tools such as Microsoft Visual Studio, .
