Your team
Within the Technical Division, the Software group develops and maintains the control and acquisition system software and user interfaces.
We are continuously striving to increase the functionality and the reliability of the whole facility to meet the ambitious research requirements of MAX IV. It is an open and friendly group of 20 developers of diverse backgrounds, where continuous improvement and mentorship is part of our DNA. Agile and lean management methods help us stay focused on software development.
Within the Software group, we are establishing a development team dedicated to supporting the software used by the Macromolecular X-Ray Crystallography (MX) group. The MX group at MAX IV operates two beamlines: BioMAX and MicroMAX. BioMAX, which started user operation in 2017, is a highly versatile, state-of-the-art beamline geared towards high-throughput protein crystallography and automated experiments. MicroMAX, which recently started user operation, is optimized for microfocus applications and SSX for the study of protein dynamics. The MX group also operates FragMAX, a platform for crystallographic fragment screening. The international and interdisciplinary MX group consists of around 18 persons.
The new MX software team will focus primarily on the MXCuBE data-acquisition software and the suite of tools used at the MX beamlines, with a strong emphasis on maintaining reliability while delivering the features needed to advance cutting-edge Life Science research.
