Junior Software Engineer

Overview

Bruker’s more than 9000 employees at over 90 locations enable scientists to make breakthrough discoveries and develop new applications that improve the quality of human life.

At Bruker BioSpin, we love to be one step ahead of the field and set new standards. We understand that getting data efficiently in a reliable way is crucial to translational and drug development research. We believe that nuclear molecular imaging increases the speed and quality of life science research. It’s our mission to improve the accessibility to these imaging technologies for teams in translational and drug development research.

We, as part of the Nuclear Molecular Imaging Business Unit (NMI BU) of the Bruker BioSpin’s PreClinical Imaging division (BBIO/PCI), are a team of 18 people in Ghent, pushing the field of preclinical research to new horizons and contributing to cures for diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's. We do so by building preclinical imagers, CUBES, allowing researchers to perform high-quality SPECT/CT and PET/CT studies without complex system handling and with very limited lab space requirements.

Here is the opportunity to be part of a dynamic company that is passionate about giving scientists the right tools to preclinically test new drugs and perhaps, down the line, help cure cancer once and for all! We are an experienced team of driven individuals, devoted to being best of class in our preclinical segment. To support our fast growth, we are looking for a Junior Software Engineer!
