OverviewnJoin to apply for the Senior/Data Acquisition Software Engineer role at TieTalent.

About UsnSoftware helps to enable the world-leading science performed at Diamond. Our software systems facilitate operations at all levels, including the low-level control of synchrotron and beamline hardware, the planning, execution and monitor of experiments, data archiving and retrieval, data processing and visualisation, the application for beamtime, and capture of remote experiment plans and samples. Our software engineers work alongside our scientists to develop innovative and robust solutions to keep Diamond at the forefront of scientific research.

About The Data Acquisition GroupnThe Data Acquisition (DAQ) group develops software to interface with and control the hardware which allows experiments to be performed and monitored as well as guiding the end user to tools for data reduction and analysis. The group works closely with scientists, controls, data analysis and information management engineers to continuously develop and improve software solutions for scientific data acquisition and on-the-fly monitoring and data analysis.

The current DAQ software platform is a client-server application called GDA (Generic Data Acquisition) which is written in Java and uses the Eclipse RCP framework. To facilitate the advanced scientific capabilities that are expected from Diamond-II (the planned Synchrotron upgrade) the DAQ software is being modernised and will result in a service-based architecture. The new Acquisition Platform, Athena, will be configured to deliver advanced capabilities for a new collection of state of-the-art Flagship Beamlines. Over the next few years existing beamline software will be migrated from GDA to Athena.

About The RolenWe now have an opportunity for a software engineer within the DAQ group team that supports and develops software for Diamonds Spectroscopy science group. The work is primarily focused on developing the DAQ software for the planned SWIFT Diamond-II Flagship Beamline using the new Athena services under the technical supervision of the Spectroscopy DAQ team leader and in collaboration with the DAQ Core team. This is a significant and high priority long-term programme of work, comprising early feature prototyping and refinement, productionisation, integration and testing. Once SWIFT starts to accept users you will provide ongoing support and extension of the DAQ capabilities. You will also be required to work with your teammates to provide support to the existing Spectroscopy beamlines and assist with their migration from GDA to Athena.

As a software engineer in the DAQ Group you will work alongside other software engineers supporting a range of experimental techniques and developing DAQ capabilities in an open and collaborative environment. You will be required to interact with scientists and translate their specifications for scientific capabilities into software requirements.

You will liaise with controls, data analysis and information management engineers to put these requirements into action. You will collaborate with the beamline scientists and DAQ Core team members to deliver SWIFTs DAQ features using the new Athena services and provide insight to the Core team to help them to refine Athenas generic capabilities. You will also potentially participate in international collaborations within this domain, sharing best practice and supporting other facilities and synchrotrons within the collaboration.

Applicants will be considered at either Data Acquisition Software Engineer or Senior Data Acquisition Software Engineer level, depending on the strength of your skills, experience and qualifications.

About YounYou will be qualified to degree level in a STEM subject or equivalent experience, as well as experienced in the full Software Development Lifecycle, using a modern high-level language, and with an understanding of good software design principles and design for usability. Knowledge and experience of developing software to control and monitor scientific or industrial equipment or IoT is preferable.

Experience of working with large and complex code bases would be a distinct advantage, as would experience of Python, Java, Spring, JMS message-oriented middleware, Java RMI, the HDF5 file format, the Eclipse RCP platform, REST and Kubernetes.

You should display good communication, interpersonal and analytical skills, with a personal interest or experience in science.

BenefitsnDiamond offers an exceptional benefits package to support staff in achieving a positive work/life balance. This includes 26 days annual leave plus 13 days of statutory and company holidays and 2 annual volunteering days, along with flexible working hours and an excellent pension scheme. Staff also have access to a range of amenities on site including a nursery, cafes, a restaurant and sports and leisure facilities. A relocation allowance may also be available where applicable.

To ApplynPlease use the online application process to apply and tell us why you believe you are suitable for this role.

When applying please state whether you with to be considered at Data Acquisition Software Engineer or Senior Data Acquisition Software Engineer level.

The initial closing date for applications is 28th September 2025, however applications will be reviewed and interviewed on an ongoing basis until this vacancy is filled.
