DESY, with more than 3000 employees at its two locations in Hamburg and Zeuthen, is one of the world's leading research centres. Its research focuses on decoding the structure and function of matter, from the smallest particles of the universe to the building blocks of life. In this way, DESY contributes to solving the major questions and urgent challenges facing science, society and industry. With its ultramodern research infrastructure, its interdisciplinary research platforms and its international networks, DESY offers a highly attractive working environment in the fields of science, technology and administration as well as for the education of highly qualified young scientists.

The Advanced Multilayer X-ray Optics group (FS-ML) is an international team of scientists, students and engineers. We are developing novel X-ray optics and imaging modalities for experiments with intense, coherent X-ray sources such as synchrotrons and X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs). These sources have opened up new opportunities for breaking barriers in focusing, dispersing, and otherwise controlling X-ray pulses in space and time. Our multilayer-based optics are prepared with magnetron sputtering systems, which require sophisticated software control that ensures very high accuracy in their deposition. We are looking for a new member to join our group as a Research software engineer for controls to work on the development, implementation and testing software control programs to control such systems and other instrumentation used in our experiments.
