Experience in programming C/C++ and Python in a Unix/Linux environment.
Proficient verbal and written communication skills necessary to interact in a clear and concise manner, author technical and scientific reports and papers, and deliver scientific presentations.
Ability to take the initiative and have interpersonal communication skills necessary to work effectively in a dynamic team environment.
