Full details at www.cobaltlight.com/careers The company is growing and has a requirement to build on its software development capability. The Role: The position is for a full-time software engineer to join a small team developing pharmaceutical / laboratory instrument software. There are elements of motion control, hardware driver testing, architecture design, GUI design and algorithm development. Specifically, Cobalt is looking for LabVIEW coding experience for equipment control and automation, but experience with databases, GUI development, and other high level languages in a Windows environment are desirable. In addition the team is developing statistical tools for spectroscopic materials identification with an emphasis on algorithm development and chemometrics within environments including MATLAB. Experience: Instruments are validated against international regulatory standards and you will ideally have experience developing software within quality environments. Prior use of bug tracking and version control systems will be a significant advantage. Knowledge of data handling and user control for compliance with 21CFR part 11 will be of benefit. The development activities will be both within the company laboratory and in collaboration with customer groups. The Candidate: It is essential that the candidate can work well as a critical member of a small team. A committed and energetic individual at degree level, you will have a background and practical experience in equipment control in a laboratory and preferably industrial environment. To apply, please e-mail a current CV to personnel@cobaltlight.com using 'Software' in the subject field, to arrive not later than 10th March 2010.

I have worked in Test and Measurement for the last 8 years in Semiconductor Laser, Semiconductor Optical Amplifier, Structural Monitoring and Oil and Gas companies. I have used LabVIEW from version 6 right up to 8.6.1 and have also programmed a complete bridge structural monitoring system (>1200 sensors) in LabVIEW REALTIME. I have developed complete test and analysis systems for R&D and full scale production. I have also controlled budgets of up to $300k and setup and assembled systems from NI equipment and other vendors. I have designed and sourced custom mechanical fixturing. I also have experience programming in MATLAB, C, C++, Visual Basic and MySQL. I am a hard worker and innovative problem solver and take a keen interest in the task as a whole not just the software. I am looking for either a permanent position or contract. Thanks
