Are you passionate about building technology at the intersection of hardware and software? Do you want to work on unique systems where lasers, detectors, and clever algorithms come together? Then you might be the Software Engineer weā€™re looking for!

What youā€™ll do:

Hardware control & integration

  • Develop software to interface with hardware components (lasers, scanners, stages, detectors).
  • Implement precise timing, synchronization, and control workflows for confocal imaging systems.

Image processing & analysis

  • Design and implement algorithms for image processing, analysis, and 3D visualization.
  • Collaborate with optics engineers and scientists to translate measurement needs into robust software features.

Data management & User interfaces

  • Build efficient pipelines for handling large microscopy datasets.
  • Develop user-friendly interfaces for instrument control and data visualization.

Cross-Functional collaboration

  • Work closely with hardware engineers and scientists.
  • Participate in defining the product roadmap and translating customer requirements into technical solutions.

What we're looking for:

Essential:

  • Bachelorā€™s or Masterā€™s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of professional software development experience.
  • Strong programming skills in languages commonly used in scientific or instrument software (e.g., Python, C++).
  • Experience developing software for hardware control, instrumentation, or scientific applications.
  • Solid understanding of image acquisition, image processing, or computer vision techniques.
  • Proficiency in software engineering best practices such as version control and automated testing.
  • Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative startup environment.

Desirable:

  • Experience with software for embedded systems.
  • Experience developing software for confocal or other optical microscopy systems.
  • Familiarity with open-source microscopy software ecosystems (e.g., Micro-Manager, ImageJ/FIJI).
  • Background in designing intuitive UX/UI for scientific applications.
