MathWorks will be exhibiting and recruiting at Jobs Expo Galway. We wanted to know what it's like to work for MathWorks and what they look for in their staff. Lindsay Barry of MathWorks answered our questions.
MathWorks flagship products are MATLAB and Simulink. These are used throughout the automotive, aerospace, communications, electronics, and industrial automation industries as fundamental tools for research and development. They are also used for modeling and simulation in increasingly technical fields like financial services and computational biology. In addition, more than 5000 colleges and universities around the world use MATLAB and Simulink for teaching and research in a broad range of technical disciplines. As a result, the company employs more than 3,500 people around the world.
The new centre in Galway will support the company’s EMEA markets across a range of customer-facing roles. That will include sales and services support, inside sales, channel development and support, finance and administration.

Every member of the MathWorks team contributes to delivering the software that shapes the things we all rely on in our daily lives. That's no exaggeration. Look behind your cell phone, your car, the plane you fly on, the newest medical technologies that could save and change lives, and the scientific advances that inspire and amaze us, and you'll find MATLAB and Simulink. Our customers are advancing the world's knowledge of engineering and science. And we help them do it.
MATLAB and Simulink enable customers to do amazing things. It’s impossible to select just one example so here are range of exciting projects we’ve contributed to.
Training is not only strongly encouraged at MathWorks, it is a key part of our company's purpose and our core values. We encourage every staff member to foster his or her own personal and professional development. This not only teaches specific skills but also expands our horizons, provides new perspectives, and brings new ideas into the organization. Training benefits both you and MathWorks by helping with your career growth and increasing the value that you bring to your business area and the entire company.
We think MathWorks is a great place to work. But it's not all about work. You'll have plenty of opportunity to enjoy yourself and your coworkers, celebrate successes, and give back to your community.
