Harwell Campus, Oxfordshire – primarily based onsite

Diamond Light Source is one of the most advanced scientific facilities in the world. It houses the UK’s synchrotron light source, producing beams of extreme intensity with a spectral range spanning far‑IR to hard X-rays for probing the structure and composition of matter. From viruses and vaccines to alternative energy solutions and nanotechnology, Diamond underpins research and innovation for more than 8,000 scientists.

Our software systems facilitate operations at all levels, including the low‑level control of synchrotron and beamline hardware, exploiting advanced controls methodologies, the planning, execution and monitoring of experiments, data archiving and retrieval, data processing and visualisation, the application for beamtime, and capture of remote experiment plans and samples. Our software engineers work alongside our scientists to develop innovative and robust solutions to keep Diamond at the foref...
