## Description

### About us

AIM Solutions is an early-stage deep-tech startup in Eindhoven building inspection and metrology equipment for the semiconductor industry. We are in active build phase, small, and growing.

### The role

You will own the algorithms at the core of our instrument: the GPU-accelerated engine for phase retrieval and wafer metrology. This is the deep end of computational imaging, where progress comes from understanding both the optimization and the physics.
Concretely, you will:

- Develop and maintain our GPU-accelerated computational imaging engine for phase retrieval

- Improve reconstruction quality, convergence, and robustness across varied and imperfect datasets

- Design and implement new reconstruction methods: physics-based differentiable forward models, regularization and constraint schemes for ill-posed problems, and support for new acquisition modes

- Translate methods from the literature and from our own ideas into tested, performant code

- Use physical insight into the optical system to decide how to change the algorithm so that results improve

- Profile and optimize the engine for GPU performance on large datasets

### Your profile

- A PhD, or equivalent research depth from industry, in a physics-heavy or numerically heavy field

- Several years developing numerical or scientific algorithms, ideally in imaging, inverse problems, or a comparable domain

- Strong numerical optimization, both gradient-based and iterative methods

- Working knowledge of Fourier optics and wave-propagation physics

- Strong Python and array programming, with experience in GPU frameworks such as JAX, PyTorch, TensorFlow, or CUDA

- You write tested, maintainable code that others can build on

- You can reason from physics to algorithm and back, and judge what will improve a reconstruction

- Technical curiosity; we will teach you the specifics of our computational imaging approach

- Full professional proficiency in English

**Bonus experience in any of these:**

- Phase retrieval, coherent diffractive imaging, holography, or tomography

- Physics-informed machine learning, differentiable forward models, automatic differentiation

- Regularization and constrained optimization for ill-posed inverse problems

- High-performance and GPU computing with performance profiling

- Linux development environments

This is a senior, research-to-production role. We expect a track record of taking new methods from concept to working, maintained code that runs in a real instrument.

### What we offer

- Ownership of the reconstruction algorithms at the heart of a tool that does not exist anywhere else yet

- Small team, short feedback loops, an open environment to have real impact

- Competitive salary for the Dutch market
