Software Developer 2

Stanford University is seeking a Software Developer 2 to execute all programming tasks, including programming, analyzing, designing, developing, implementing, modifying, and maintaining computer programs. Work on systems of moderate size and complexity or segments of larger systems.

The successful candidate will join the Dubra Lab and work on developing instrumentation for in vivo visualization of retinal structure and function, aiming at improving the diagnosing and understanding of eye disease. The lab pursues these goals through techniques and technology developed for optics, astronomy, image processing, electrical engineering and biomedical engineering.

We are seeking candidates that are proficient in: Microsoft Visual Studio, Microsoft TFS, C++, image acquisition, real-time image processing, Intel IPP and MKL. Experience with real time control of hardware, cameras and optical scanning instrumentation is essential. Familiarity with Python, CUDA, SWIG, Matlab, LabVIEW and FPGA programming, eye-tracking technology, advanced image registration for scanning instruments, adaptive optics or retinal tracking technology are highly desirable.

One of the lab’s major foci is the dissemination of our technology to other research institutions. One of the duties will be assist in the deployment and support of instruments at these collaborating institutions, as well as training their staff/students in their operation and maintenance.
