About Us: 
AMETEK RTDS Technologies is a leading provider of real-time power simulation systems, catering to utilities, research institutions, and educational organizations. Our cutting-edge solutions enable the development and testing of the electric power grid and renewable energy applications. If you're excited about driving innovation and enhancing the reliability of our energy infrastructure, this is your opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a dynamic and growing field!  

Job Summary:  

The Software team at RTDS is responsible for the development of the RSCADFX software suite that customers across the globe use for designing, running, and analyzing their real-time simulation studies. The suite spans several technology stacks, so there is always something new to learn.

In this role you will focus on RSCADFX, the graphical application our customers use to build, run, and analyze simulations, and on the C backend that powers the simulation. You will work as part of a small, collaborative team on diverse work that ranges from GUI design and usability to performance-critical, modular backend code. It is a role for a strong, detail-oriented programmer who is equally comfortable in an application front end and in low-level systems code, and who takes ownership of what they build.

This is a challenging and rewarding role that reaches into the core of our technology, including the compiler and linker that turn models into real-time simulation code. We are looking for a developer who understands the compilation and linking process end to end and is very comfortable working with DLLs and native Windows applications.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain RSCAD FX, ensuring a responsive, intuitive user experience for customers running simulation studies.
• Develop and maintain performance-critical backend software in C, including modular, dynamically loaded simulation components with clean, stable interfaces.
• Contribute to the compiler and linker technology at the core of the platform, working with native code, DLLs, and the Windows environment.
• Develop scripting, automation, and tooling in Python to support simulation workflows, testing, and build processes.
• Write, modify, integrate, and test software to a high standard, while adhering to coding standards and development processes.
• Profile, debug, and optimize compute-heavy code paths; analyze and enhance the performance and reliability of existing RTDS software.
• Provide hands-on troubleshooting, debugging, and fixes during development and after release.
• Prepare clear documentation on the operation and maintenance of software.
• Work closely with other teams, especially Hardware and Support, to define functional and user-interface requirements and resolve customer issues.
• Investigate, evaluate, and recommend technologies for new functionality and products.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications:

• A bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
• At least 5 years of full-time industry experience as a software developer.
• Strong programming ability in Java, with hands-on experience building rich desktop GUI applications in JavaFX.
• Solid working knowledge of C for backend and performance-sensitive code.
• Experience with Python for scripting, automation, and tooling.
• A solid understanding of the compilation and linking process, including how source code becomes executable code.
• Strong familiarity with DLLs/shared libraries and developing native Windows applications.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, object-oriented design, design patterns, and testing.
• Demonstrated ability and willingness to use AI tools to improve productivity, decision-making, work quality, and to reduce costs. The successful candidate must be able to identify appropriate AI use cases and critically evaluate AI-generated outputs.  
• Familiarity with development and debugging tools, including version control (Git), issue trackers, project-management tools, and CI/CD.
• Exceptional attention to detail. This work rewards developers who chase down edge cases and leave no loose ends.
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, with the patience to get things exactly right.
• Technical curiosity, a drive to learn, and good interpersonal skills.

Deadline to apply: September 4, 2026
