Job description

Description:

Architect and develop mission-critical software for a next-generation automated oligo synthesizer, enabling precise control of mechanical, fluidic, and electrical systems. You'll own the full-stack software infrastructure, from low-level hardware communication (USB/SPI/serial) and embedded firmware integration to GUI design, data analysis tools, and database management - ensuring seamless operation for end-user scientists.

Responsibilities:

Own the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) for instrument control software: design, implement, debug, test, and deploy across Java/Python/C++ codebases.

Modernize and refactor legacy systems while ensuring backward compatibility with low level software + embedded firmware (custom PCB controller) and hardware messaging protocols.

Collaborate cross-functionally with engineers, scientists, and IT to translate user feedback into scalable software improvements (UI/UX, performance, reliability).

Develop data analysis pipelines (Python scripts, databases) and real-time monitoring tools for high-speed acquisition and process optimization.

Act as SME for software architecture: document APIs, mentor junior engineers, and align technical decisions with long-term product roadmaps.

Onsite Requirement: This is a fully onsite role due to the hands-on nature of instrument control, hardware integration, and close collaboration with engineering and scientific teams.

Qualifications:

Requires Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Science & Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related field.

Technical Non-Negotiables: 6-8 years in full-stack software development for instrumentation/robotics/embedded systems.

Expertise in:

Java: core codebase, multi-threaded code and GUI desktop applications (JavaFX or Swing).

Java, Maven, NetBeans IDE and Mercurial.

Python: scripting, data analysis tools.

Low-level comms protocols: USB, Serial, SPI, I2C.

Microcontrollers/embedded firmware (hands-on debugging).

GUI development (e.g., Java FX, Swing, Qt, or other modern frameworks).

Proven leadership in architecting complex systems (design patterns, version control, continuous improvement (CI) / continuous development (CD)).

Soft Skills & Culture Fit:

"Product mindset": Balance technical rigor with end-user needs (scientists' workflows).

Communicate complex ideas clearly to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.

Autonomy: Self-driven in ambiguous, R&D-paced environments.

Benefit:

  • Medical Insurance/ Vision Insurance/ Dental Insurance
  • 401(k) & Retirement Savings Plan (RSP)
  • Short Term Disability Insurance
  • New Child Leave
  • Paid Time Off
  • Paid Company Holidays per year
  • Paid Sick Days (earned based on hours worked)
  • Compassionate Leave
  • Jury Duty Leave
  • Float day
  • Personal days

Perks: 

  • Free colleague meals during shift
  • Onsite massages Charis
  • Onsite gyms

Compensation:
Salary range: $150,000 - $170,000 total compensation, including bonus, depending on experience and qualifications.
