Software Engineer - Computational Physics - Remote

Overview

Metalenz is developing next-generation sensing systems for consumer electronics with metasurface technology. As a Software Engineer you will help develop the design tooling and infrastructure our team uses to engineer meta-optics. A successful candidate will be able to apply software engineering principles to a scientific Julia codebase and, preferably draw from their body of knowledge in computational electromagnetics or computational physics.

In Short

• Work with the design team to integrate new developments and viewpoints into our Julia-based software toolkit
• Understand and implement new features into our codebase
• Identify, refactor, and optimize performance bottlenecks
• Use and deploy heterogeneous scientific compute platforms, building code to deploy across workstations, clusters, or GPUs
• Shape the technical roadmap
• Collaborate by writing documentation, engaging in code review, and commenting on design documents

Requirements

• MS or PhD in Computer Science, Physics, Applied Physics, Applied Mathematics, or relevant field and/or demonstrated excellence in relevant technical domains through open-source contributions or publications
• Comfort working with and managing high-performance computing environments, particularly Julia, distributed computing, and AWS
• Interest in and appreciation of the intersection between science and code, as demonstrated through coursework or prior project and/or work experience
• Familiarity with software engineering best practices (version control, cluster management, data provenance, code profiling and unit tests)
• Technical background in computational electromagnetics computational physics, numerical computing, and optimization

Benefits

• Competitive salary, 401k with company contribution, pre-IPO stock options
• Based in downtown Boston near TD Garden, Metalenz is conveniently located across the street from North Station
• Competitive benefits package including company paid health, dental, vision, life, LTD/ADD
