Join a global leader with 40 years at the forefront of scientific innovation.

At Scienta Omicron, we develop the tools that enable tomorrow’s scientific discoveries – from quantum technology to advanced energy materials. Our high-tech instruments are used by researchers at top universities and institutes across the globe. Now, we’re expanding our software team in Uppsala with two new colleagues: a Junior and a Senior Software Engineer.

You’ll be part of a high-tech company where software, hardware, and world-class science meet – and where your ideas can truly make a difference.

A role with real influence

At Scienta Omicron, your voice counts.
You’ll have broad responsibilities, high autonomy, and the chance to influence architectural decisions and technical direction from day one. This is not a corporate maze – it’s an agile R&D environment where you can shape the future of our software, as long as you bring your colleagues with you. If you see a better way to do something, we want you to lead the change.

This is especially important now, as we move from today’s architecture to a more robust and scalable 2.0-version. We need someone who’s not afraid to challenge the status quo – and who’s excited to transform our systems for the future.

The software you’ll work on

You’ll work with our in-house application software PEAK, which controls acquisition of photoelectron spectra with Scienta Omicron analyzers. PEAK is a modern platform designed to optimize data acquisition, workflow, and live visualization for researchers. It’s developed entirely by our software team and constantly evolving to support the needs of cutting-edge scientists.

Your work will include:

• Developing PEAK and other software solutions for surface science instruments
• Collaborating closely with highly skilled R&D Scientists on new features
• Prototyping and testing directly with the instruments
• Taking part in architectural and design decisions
• As Senior: leading technical coherence, supporting others, and taking system-level responsibility
• As Junior: building skills in a supportive and deeply technical team

What you bring

• Strong coding skills in C++, C#, and Python
• Experience with embedded systems is a big plus
• Curiosity, technical depth, and willingness to dig into complex problems
• A collaborative and pragmatic mindset
• A strong interest in advanced technology and hardware interaction
• For Senior: readiness to take ownership and transform our architecture
• For Junior: solid foundations and a hunger to learn
  

Why work with us?

• Be part of a company with a 40-year legacy of enabling Nobel Prize-winning research
• Collaborate with physicists, product developers, and researchers across Europe and the world
• Get hands-on with the hardware – our production floor is just downstairs
• Enjoy a flexible and informal culture where curiosity and quality lead the way
• Influence your own work methods – and bring others with you to shape the future
  

Benefits include:

• 30 days of vacation
• Private health insurance with enhanced coverage
• Competitive pension plan
• Wellness benefits
• Modern office and partial remote work possibility
