This position will serve to unify, implement, and test existing free open-source software tools, and also to extend the functionality of existing tools and contribute them back to the community. Development will be driven by the current scientific focus of SSRL with a primary focus on developing data analysis pipelines and autonomous control approaches for x-ray scattering, diffraction, absorption, and imaging problems. Objectives will include readying existing beamlines for the deployment of machine learning algorithms that will be used for autonomous data analysis and experimental steering and are expected to lead to publication of scientific research employing these tools. Your specific responsibilities include: Implement modern electronics controls software like The Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) for controlling complex instrumentation. Deploy the next generation data collection framework “bluesky” at SSRL beamlines. Execute all programming tasks, including programming, analyzing, designing, developing, implementing, modifying, and maintaining computer programs. Work on systems of small to moderate size and complexity or segments of larger systems. Survey, assess, modify, and employ existing free software tools. Develop, test, deploy, and promote cross-platform software in the public domain. Communicate regularly and clearly with co-developers as well as experimentalists. Publish or assist in publishing results of scientific research pertaining to the developed software packages. Assess stakeholder needs and requirements.
