Data Visualisation Developer By 2050, the planet could be using twice as much electricity compared to today. Are you interested in contributing and helping to shape the future of the world's energy? If so, read on. Fusion, the process that powers the Sun and Stars, is one of the most promising options for generating the cleaner, carbon-free energy that our world badly needs. UKAEA are at the forefront of realising energy from fusion, working with industry and research partners to deliver the ground-breaking developments that will underpin tomorrow's fusion power stations with the aim of bringing fusion electricity to the grid. We have a vacancy for a Data Visualisation Developer, with an interest for delivering state-of-the-art visualisation methods and tools for analysing complex scientific or engineering data and a background in science, computer-science, or engineering, ideally with an emphasis upon High Performance Computing (HPC), having worked upon large-scale, remote systems and with Big Data. You will be working within the Advanced Computing Department. which performs support, research and development functions in areas such as high performance and high throughput computing, algorithm development/computer science, artificial intelligence and Exascale technologies and more! You will work within a rapidly growing, diverse team and will require a passion for nurturing science and technological excellence. It would be advantageous if you have a background or interest in high fidelity visualisation or photorealism to draw insights from complex data. What will you be responsible for? Key areas of responsibility: - Promoting a healthy working environment, team-focused work ethic, centred upon continuous improvement and a core ethos of inclusivity and diversity.
- Develop advanced visualisation tools from back-end to front-end, through a process of co-design and regular engagement with stakeholders.
