Research Software Engineer

At Ignition computing we specialize in high-performance computing and research software. Be it through building infrastructure for nuclear fusion research, reducing computation times through simulation acceleration or by building a platform for greenhouse optimization, we work with our clients to make the world a better and greener place.

As a developer at Ignition Computing you will provide programming and consulting services for commercial and research support purposes. You will get the chance to be involved at every step of the way in the development of software.

We mainly code in Python, C++, and Fortran. Our knowledgeable small team is all about sharing know-how and helping each other thrive. If you want to grow your skills as a developer, you're the kind of person we're after.

Ignition Computing is a startup in Eindhoven based on the Keizersgracht. Our culture is focussed on cooperation, growth and a healthy work-life balance. At Ignition Computing we believe in an informal environment where everyone is equal. We share our office with Afterservice, and share lunch and Friday afternoon drinks with them.

Some of the current running projects we have:

- Preconnet, a tool to benchmark and accelerate physics simulations through optimizing solver configurations, initial guesses and preconditioning.
- ITER, the world's biggest nuclear fusion project where we have multiple running projects such as working on the underlying data structures for experimental data (IMASPy) and developing simulation codes.
- Consulting for various Dutch tech companies such as Celsian and Plasma Matters.
- Consulting for an American fusion start-up.

- Projoules, a model-based greenhouse horticulture planning platform which focusses on helping growers plan their crops based on an energy balance model.
