Senior Software R&D engineer for heuristic algorithm development

The technical challenge: Optimizer, our SaaS delivered core product, is utilizing heuristic algorithms to deliver the highest possible packing quality to our customers in the sheet metal industry. We already far outdo conventional packing strategies, but we aim to reduce the time to production, and increase packing quality even further.

You will be a part of the Optimizer R&D team that develops the product together with the product owner, quality and platform operations. Our main language is Java, but several of us came on board with only C# or C++ skills. Other tools and technologies we touch on a regular basis are, among others, Scala, Git, Jira, and Jenkins. We believe that you have software design bragging rights, but also hope you can share some fabulous failure stories.

You match all of these traits, skills and experiences:

Scientific approach to problem solving
You like clean code and functional style programming
Great interpersonal skills – both written and verbal
At least 5 years of experience in the field
M.Sc or PhD. in computer science, software engineering or equivalent
English or Swedish skills
Eligible to work in Sweden
The more the merrier of these skills and experiences:

Combinatorial optimization techniques (for example local search heuristics and constraint programming)
Artificial intelligence techniques
Basic linear algebra and geometry
Software utilizing heavy parallelism (multicore and distributed)
Working in a Linux and OS X environment
You will work side-by-side with highly skilled scientists and engineers in an innovative and team-oriented culture. Our Engineering team consists of about 15 professionals. We believe that diversity of experience, perspectives, and background will lead to a better environment for our employees and result in a better optimization service for our customers.

Tomologic’s mission is to make sheet metal working intelligent, resulting in significant environmental and cost advantages for various stakeholders. We are an important part of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, combining Artificial Intelligence techniques with traditional optimization problems, thus leveraging significant competitive advantages as well as a unique opportunity to save over 1% of global carbon emissions. Existing users tell us we’re spot on, and the first wave of customers around the globe are already using our service.

Tomologic offers the best of two worlds: the financial stability and benefits of a grown up company while still having the social culture and low-overhead innovative momentum of a startup. Tomologic is privately owned with solid backing from external industrial investors.
