Helpful experience * desktop application development with Qt, PySide, PyQt, or a comparable framework; * packaging, deploying, and supporting Python applications on Windows and Linux; * Docker, reproducible builds, artifact management, signing, and release controls; * laboratory, RF, measurement equipment, or hardware testing experience; * work in a regulated or quality-managed engineering environment; * REST APIs, web applications, or asynchronous Python; * German language skills. ## Description We are looking for a senior software engineer to build and maintain critical applications used by our R&D, Production, and Quality teams. The role combines hands-on Python development, regular contact with users, and responsibility for software once it is in use. You will work with specialists in embedded software, RF/DSP, hardware development, Production, and Quality. They bring the domain knowledge; you turn their needs into software that is reliable, maintainable, and practical to use. What you will work on One of your first substantial projects will be our Python application for RF measurements in an anechoic chamber and hardware end tests, ensuring quality of our high-end antenna products. It controls lab equipment, visualizes measurement results, and generates reports, while its backend directly supports product development in R&D. Other current areas include: * Python applications for engineering and test workflows; * build, test, and release pipelines for embedded software; * tools for provisioning embedded products; * simulation and evaluation frameworks for algorithm development; * small internal services and web applications where they are a better fit than a desktop application. As the role develops, you can take on more work in the areas that best fit your strengths and interests. What you will do * Talk to users, observe how they work, and turn their requirements and problems into practical software changes. * Develop and maintain Python applications, libraries, and tests in the context of radar, communications, and antennas. * Take responsibility for the path from source code to a released, deployed, and supported application. * Investigate problems involving application code, operating systems, configuration, networks, and connected hardware or services. * Improve existing software step by step without disrupting the people who depend on it. * Work with Quality, IT, and domain experts where their input or approval is needed. * Keep important technical decisions and operating procedures documented., * Engineering with real-world impact - your software directly supports the development and quality of our antenna, radar, and communication systems. * Ownership that matters - from understanding the problem to architecture, implementation, deployment, and continuous improvement. * Close to the technology - work alongside specialists in RF, DSP, embedded software, hardware, Production, and Quality. * Complex challenges instead of generic software projects - measurement systems, connected hardware, automation, simulation, and engineering workflows. * Room to shape things - PIDSO is growing, and so are our software landscape, processes, and engineering capabilities. * A high-tech environment with short decision paths - where good ideas can quickly become working solutions. We are building technology that has to perform when it matters - from the first line of Python to the signal in space. ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Navigating the Corporate Jungle: Life as a Developer in a large Company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/621-navigating-the-corporate-jungle-life-as-a-developer-in-a-large-company) - [Intro to FastAPI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/462-intro-to-fastapi) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [PyLadies Vienna](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/144-pyladies-vienna) - [Austria – the most livable place for software developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/20-austria-the-most-livable-place-for-software-developers)
