Software Engineer for Forensic Science
Interested in using your CS acumen to help fight crime? Cadre is seeking a bright and driven researcher to join our young enthusiastic research group. The Cadre team is distributed across North America. You will be located in our Chicago office. Our group is a hybrid academic/industry lab where high quality research, reading journal papers, and staying current on the latest advances is highly valued.
Description
We are looking for an awesome software developer to join our Forensics team. Our main project is the development of a next generation three-dimensional imaging and analysis system for firearm forensics. In short, the system images the three-dimensional marks left on a cartridge casing at micron resolution and then compares these marks to determine if two casings were fired through the same firearm. We’re not going to lie, we work on really cool stuff. Our research partners include local, state, and federal government crime labs. Yes, the big guys who wear suits and sunglasses.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for an awesome programmer / software engineer with a bit of scientific computing experience who is interested in learning a lot more. You will work with Computer Science PhDs with expertise in Software Engineering, Machine Learning, Machine Vision, Statistics, and Probabilistic Modeling. We won’t expect you to be an expert in these areas right away; you’ll do a lot of learning with the team. Note: No experience working with firearms is necessary and there are no firearms in our workplace.
Responsibilities
You’ll be responsible for developing software around specific focused tasks. Your daily schedule will include working independently, meeting with collaborators, and utilizing opportunities for continued learning. In addition to the 3D imaging project you’ll also have the opportunity to work on an audio analysis application (also in forensics). We’re a small startup and if desired you can get exposure to all aspects of starting a business. No regular travel is required but there will be opportunities should you be interested (research conferences and crime lab visits).
Skills and Qualifications
Cadre
Cadre Research Labs and Cadre Forensics are Scientific Computing Research Groups specializing in algorithm development and technology transfer for the Biotech, Pharmaceutical, and Forensic sciences. The group exploits methods from Machine Learning, Machine Vision, Statistics, Combinatorial Search and Optimization, Modeling, and Data Mining. Cadre Forensics is a technology leader in the forensics space and is developing the TopMatch-GS 3D imaging and analysis system for firearm analysis.
Cadre is a small, Chicago-area start-up with high-energy, a positive vibe, and low procedural barriers. We work in an office space shared with a fun fast-growing internet apparel company. Thus there are always great people around the coffee machine.

Skills and Qualifications
- You are a Computer Science major with interest and experience in Software Engineering and desktop application development who is interested in learning a lot more.
- You have research or large-project experience in any area of Computer Science (undergraduate project experience counts!).
- You are an enthusiastic problem solver who is passionate about making the best software for applications that help improve society. You’re interested in working with an interdisciplinary Computer Science research team in an industry setting.
- You have C++ programming experience. Our main application is a C++ QT Desktop Application (using eigen, boost, and opencv). We’re building solid desktop software, you will not be working on full-stack web-app stuff.
