JOB DESCRIPTION

The Research Engineering and Infrastructure Team (REIT) is currently looking for candidates to fill one position as a Research (Software) Engineer.
As a Research (Software) Engineer, you will be collaborating with researchers on projects across diverse domains, such as artificial intelligence, intelligent human/agent interactions, bioinformatics, computer graphics and visualizations, software engineering, data management and engineering, information systems, cyber security, high performance computing and embedded systems.
You will typically be working on two research projects simultaneously, with your engagement in projects varying from a few weeks to multi-year collaborations. You will be liaising with researchers to understand their requirements, developing and implementing solutions, while documenting them along the way.

REIT collaborates with all sections at the computer science departments of TU Delft. We are looking for a wide range of skills, for example:

• Planning, designing and implementing software solutions, including HPC, edge, and embedded software
• Implementing, training and deploying machine learning models
• Developing data processing and analysis pipelines, including visualizations
• Web and mobile development
• Promoting best practices for reproducible and open research

As a member of REIT, you will be joining a group of friendly and dedicated professionals with diverse backgrounds. We explicitly encourage our engineers to continuously develop their skills and to explore fields outside their main area of expertise.
This is an exciting time to join the team as we are widening our contribution to the research and teaching community. We constantly strive to find innovative and efficient ways to solve problems and enable high-quality research. At REIT, we welcome candidates who can help shape this vision.
We are looking for a full-time engineer.
