Job Summary
Java Senior EclipseRCP/SWT Desktop Engineer (Scientific/Geology)
Were seeking a UI/UXfocused Senior Eclipse RCP / SWT Engineer to design and build highperformance Java thickclient applications using Eclipse RCP OSGi SWT and JFace. You will partner with product UX and domain experts to deliver intuitive robust and responsive scientific desktop software used by geoscience professionals. The ideal candidate combines deep desktop UI engineering with strong multithreading/concurrency and applied mathematicscapable of implementing complex longrunning algorithms off the SWT UI thread while maintaining a smooth accessible user experience.
What youll do
Design & build rich desktop UIs with Eclipse RCP (perspectives views editors commands/handlers extension points) using SWT/JFace and established UI/UX patterns (MVP/MVC eventdriven design).
Implement OSGi modular architectures (bundles services dependency management) ensuring clean isolation between components and welldefined interfaces.
Engineer contextaware behaviors across the application: understand and extend how actions (e.g. button press) propagate through Eclipse Command/Handler/Context and OSGi Service Registry to deliver predictable traceable outcomes.
Build and optimize multithreaded features: move longrunning scientific computations off the UI thread using the Eclipse Jobs API executors and background tasks; update UI safely via UI responsiveness & performance for large datasets: job scheduling progress reporting cancellation virtualized tables/viewers and efficient rendering.
Apply software design patterns and domaindriven design to keep code modular testable and maintainable.
Collaborate with product and UX to translate scientific/geology workflows into usable highsignal interfaces; instrument and iterate based on usability feedback.
Write clean testable code with unit tests (e.g. JUnit) UI tests (e.g. SWTBot) and profiling/diagnostics for memory and performance.
Participate in code reviews architecture discussions and CI/CD build pipelines (Tycho/Maven/Gradle as applicable).
Contribute domain insights to data visualization and computational geometry/mathematics features (e.g. regression derivatives geometry operations).
Minimum qualifications (musthave)
BS in Computer Science (or related) and 10 years of professional software engineering experience.
7 years building Java thickclient desktop applications with Eclipse RCP:
Plugins/features/products extension points p2 perspectives/views/editors Commands/Handlers/Contexts.
Expertise in OSGi:
Bundles lifecycle services dependency injection/management service tracking modular isolation.
Strong SWT/JFace:
Layouts events custom widgets/controls JFace viewers (Table/Tree) dialogs wizards actions.
Advanced Core Java (Java 8):
Concurrency (threads executors futures synchronization) collections generics streams and design patterns (Factory Strategy Observer Command etc.).
Proven multithreaded UI experience:
Delivering longrunning computations without UI freezes; correct use of the SWT singlethreaded model and UI thread marshaling.
Performance & scalability:
Background jobs cancellation progress UI memory/performance profiling large dataset handling/virtualization.
Applied mathematics for scientific applications:
Calculus (including derivatives) geometry statistical regression/line fitting numerical methods; comfort validating algorithmic correctness and precision.
Geology/Geoscience domain experience (or demonstrable experience rapidly acquiring complex scientific domains).
Debugging & diagnostics:
Event tracing across OSGi/Eclipse contexts thread dumps heap/CPU profiling logging frameworks.
