R&D Engineer (Software Architecture & Automation)

Digital Pipl; Rotselaar; Sur place; EUR 70 000 - 110 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Digital Pipl is seeking a Software & Automation Engineer to architect the R&D factory's digital nervous system. You will design self-driving workflows connecting physics solvers to business operations, turning PoCs into robust software.

Join a high-impact role building modular Python/C++ frameworks, integrating AI-driven agents, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines to enable fast, reliable shipping of physics-heavy code.

Qualifications

• MSc in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field with strong mathematical lean.
• Proficient in Python and strong working knowledge of C++.
• Understand when to use Python vs C++ for performance vs flexibility.
• Strong grasp of SOLID principles and Clean Architecture; modular, readable code for production environments.
• Interest or background in heat transfer/thermodynamics; familiarity with Conjugate Heat Transfer is a plus.
• Ability to turn PoCs into robust, production-grade software.

Responsabilités

• Prototype PoCs in Python and C++ and translate into production-ready code.
• Architect and maintain middleware and API-driven workflows (e.g., Jira, Slack, Autodesk, AWS, internal DBs).
• Develop modular, OOP-based frameworks to automate simulations, testing, and deployment pipelines.
• Integrate LLMs and AI-driven agents into task management systems to derive actionable insights from thermal data.
• Maintain and evolve CI/CD pipelines and automated testing for fast, reliable shipping of physics-heavy code.

Description du poste

The Role

As our Software & Automation Engineer, you are the Architect of the R&D Factory. You won't just "automate tasks"; you will design the digital nervous system that connects our core physics solvers to our business operations. Your mission is to build a "self-driving" workflow where code, simulation, and hardware design move in a seamless, automated loop. This is a high-impact role for a "Builder" who can translate raw technical Proof of Concepts (PoCs) into robust, production-grade software.

Key Responsibilities

• Technical PoC Implementation: Take raw engineering concepts and "Smartfins"
• prototypes and turn them into functional, high-performance code in Python and C++
• .Architect the Workflow: Design and maintain the middleware and custom API-driven workflows (Jira, Slack, Autodesk, AWS, internal DBs) that keep our hardware and software teams in perfect sync.
• Build the "Digital Nervous System": Develop modular, OOP-based frameworks in Python and C++ that automate everything from simulation triggers to software testing.
• Deploy Intelligent Automation: Integrate LLMs and AI-driven agents into our task management systems to turn raw thermal data into actionable engineering insights.
• Own the Pipeline: Maintain and evolve our CI/CD pipelines and automated testing suites, ensuring our R&D team can ship "physics-heavy" code with total confidence.

What You Bring

The Essentials:

• Educational Foundation: An MSc in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field with a strong mathematical lean.
• Polyglot Developer: Deep mastery of Python and a strong working knowledge of C++.
• You understand when to use the flexibility of the former and the performance of the latter.
• Architectural Rigor: A strong grasp of SOLID principles and Clean Architecture; you write code that is modular, readable, and built for a high-growth production environment.
• Physics Affinity: An active interest or background in heat transfer and thermodynamics. You don't need to be a thermal engineer, but you must speak or be willing to learn the language of "Conjugate Heat Transfer.
• The "Builder" Spirit: You thrive on taking a "half-baked" technical idea and engineering it into a robust, working Proof of Concept.

The "Extra Mile":

• Experience with CI/CD tools and building robust automated testing frameworks.
• Experience with AWS/Microsoft Azure/GCP and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes)
  • Hands-on experience implementing LLM-based tools or agents in a production environment.
  • Experience with API-first design and connecting disparate enterprise platforms.
  • Familiarity with CFD frameworks or CAD automation.

Why Join Us?

• Design at the Inflection Point: You are joining at the exact moment we are scaling our internal "factory. " You will have a blank canvas to build the systems you've always wanted.
• No Red Tape: We move at the speed of the hardware we cool. If you have a better way to automate a process, you own the implementation from day one.
• High-Visibility Impact: Your code will be the "glue" that allows our thermal breakthroughs to reach global data centers faster.
• The Culture: We are a lean team of elite engineers who value "Clean Code" as much as "Deep Physics.
