Inmersia – XR near‑eye displays

At Inmersia, we develop near‑eye displays for the next generation of extended reality (XR) glasses. Our core values are to bring positive impact to society through technological excellence. Our mission is to seamlessly merge the digital and physical realities to enable new ways of human interaction with the world.

Who we are looking for

We are seeking a software engineer with a startup mindset to develop and optimize Inmersia’s proprietary optics simulation platform, that lies at the heart of the development of next‑generation Inmersia’s near‑eye display. The main objective for this role is to ensure good management and scaling up of the software with a special attention on version control, modularity, and optimal usage of computational resources.

What you will do

• Implement an intuitive workflow for version control, repositories management, and consolidation of software architecture robustness to ensure smooth and secure collaboration with the simulations team.
• Familiarise oneself with the existing code and implement its modularity, ensure its reusability and produce clear code.
• Design the structure of the code to be programmed, distributing the workload among individual team members based on the current R&D goals.
• Ensure smooth workflow between the experimental R&D (easy input of variables relevant for experiments) and optics design teams (easy interfacing with third party software such as Zemax).
• Adapt the code in the current programming language (MATLAB / Python) to optimise usage of computational resources such as GPU.
• Help develop new functionalities in the optics simulation software according to R&D objectives.

What technical skills you have

• MATLAB / Python
• Repositories management, version control, and software architecture robustness methodologies for collaborative projects
• High Performance Computing (HPC) and GPU‑parallelization, using libraries such as Numba, CUDA, CuPy

Valuable extras

• Implementing GPU‑accelerated code for HPC on a server
• Developing ray‑tracing simulation suites, in MATLAB / Python
• Experience in Optics / Photonics / Metamaterials

What education you have

Master’s degree in Computer Science with 3 years of experience in HPC, preferably for ray tracing simulations.

Alternatively, Master’s degree in Telecommunications Engineering or Physics with 5 years of experience in HPC (preferably for ray tracing simulations).

Professional working level of English.

What personal qualities you have

• Structured and logical reasoning
• Proactive mindset and autonomous workload management
• High personal and professional integrity
• Good listening skills and open‑mindedness to feedback and new ideas
• Ability to work in a team
• Innovative and creative vision to identify new solutions to existing challenges
