36.5 hours per week (1.0 FTE), 24-month Fixed Term Contract finishing no later than 31st March 2025, with the possibility of an extension, subject to funding.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Automation Systems Group at WMG, the University of Warwick, to work as a software developer on the design and development of software solutions for the manufacturing industry. The role requires hands-on experience in developing production ready desktop and web-based applications. The successful candidate will be responsible for the design, development, documentation, maintenance, and update of the solutions.

The development work will, in part, focus on the implementation of real-time tracking and monitoring of solutions for manual operations, and, therefore, will require working with and achieving integration of various hardware solutions. The work will also require working on the development of 3D and AR-based user interfaces and electronic work instruction systems to guide the user throughout the work operation.

In addition to the above, the successful candidate must possess a good knowledge and ideally experience in developing, deploying and managing back-end data bases systems (time series/historian, SQL, noSQL), application containerisation and automated software testing.

The successful candidate will hold a 2.1 Honours degree (or equivalent) in computer science or a relevant engineering subject and the ability to develop industrial-strength software for PC (Windows 10 onward). They will have knowledge in developing .Net desktop applications (VB.Net, C# languages), GUI design skills and a solid experience in 3D and AR application development for hardware and software platform (Microsoft Hololens 2, Vuforia, Unity, Unreal engines).

We will provide a great range of benefits which include an attractive pension scheme, 26 days holiday plus bank holidays and Christmas closure, some fantastic savings on a wide range of products and services, and excellent learning and development opportunities.

At WMG we are committed to supporting staff to achieve their potential. We currently hold the Athena SWAN Silver Award and the University of Warwick holds an Institutional Silver Award: a national initiative that recognizes the advancement of gender equality, representation, progression and success for all in academia. We are supportive of staff with caring responsibilities including a generous maternity/paternity/adoption/parental leave policy, and onsite childcare facilities. We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.
