Job description

This position is ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment, enjoys tackling undefined challenges, and is motivated to learn and innovate continuously.

In our small and dynamic software team, you'll have the opportunity to engage with all parts of the software stack, fostering a collaborative environment where diverse skills and ideas are valued.

You will be an integral part of our research and development team, by developing and maintaining our products and services for well logging applications. We have developed sensors that emit radar pulses and sample them after reflecting off the wellbore. The Scientific Programmer will assist with improving and developing our software and algorithms to transform the raw data to intuitive 3D visualizations. The key to develop the processing algorithms is understanding how our sensors behave and how the pulses propagate.
