About You

You are a Senior developer with a strong background in software design and architecture. You are looking to broaden your software development experience into the embedded domain by developing web UI front-end and/or back-end application code running on seismic dataloggers, and learning about lower level software development in a CPU and memory constrained runtime environment from your colleagues.

The Team

Nanometrics is currently seeking a Senior Software Developer to join our team of smart and creative software developers to help build our next generation of scientific dataloggers and ground motion sensors. These cutting-edge instruments are essential for collecting, recording, and streaming seismic data and state-of-health information in challenging field environments, ranging from deserts and mountain tops to Antarctica and the bottom of the ocean. Our development team solves complex design problems in both lower level and application level software aiming to achieve a very high level of reliability and robustness, along with introducing new and advanced capabilities while ensuring minimal power consumption. In our pursuit of excellence, we continuously evaluate the latest tools, languages, and frameworks available, and integrate the best solutions into our development projects. The problems we tackle often require innovative thinking that spans the boundaries between cloud, enterprise, and our instruments. If you possess a strong software development background, a passion for cutting-edge technology, and thrive in a collaborative environment where your contributions make a significant impact, we invite you to join our team.
