• Design, develop, test, and maintain software modules across client, web, and server environments with emphasis on laboratory automation, machine vision, and real-time data processing.
• Integrate AI/ML models and OpenCV pipelines to enable intelligent analysis of laboratory instrument images and sensor data.
• Collaborate with hardware, systems, and electrical engineering teams to develop software interfaces for robotic platforms and IoT-enabled devices.
• Support full-stack development activities, including responsive UI design and backend architecture, to enable real-time system control and monitoring.
• Develop and optimize SQL and NoSQL data architectures for high-throughput data acquisition and analytics.
• Conduct unit testing, verification, debugging, and peer review of software components to ensure quality and reliability.
• As required, present and participate in peer reviews of code and designs.
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of standard operating procedures (SOPs), coding standards, and technical documentation.
• Apply best practices in software development including Agile methodology, CI/CD pipelines, and containerized environments (e.g., Docker, AWS).
• Specific duties may vary depending upon departmental requirements.
EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS:
• A minimum of Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field is required. A Master’s degree is desirable.
• Minimum of one year experience in software engineering, preferably in laboratory automation, robotics, or computer vision applications.
• Proficiency in one or more object-oriented languages (e.g., Java, Python, C++) and knowledge of design patterns and modular software design required.
• Coursework or hands-on experience in image processing, machine learning, or robotics strongly preferred.
• Experience with OpenCV, TensorFlow, or similar ML/vision frameworks is highly desirable.
KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES:
• General knowledge of best practices related to the software development life cycle.
• Strong understanding of database systems, including SQL, NoSQL, and time-series data storage techniques.
• Knowledge of building tools/automated build systems and installation software is desired.
• Demonstrated logical problem solving abilities and able to decompose a complex process into simplified steps.
• Understanding of IoT architectures and protocols (e.g., MQTT, REST APIs) for sensor integration and device control.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic environment.
• Good oral, written communication and interpersonal skills
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in cross-functional teams, and to communicate complex technical ideas clearly.
