Essential: Experience developing software that interfaces with laboratory instruments or scientific equipment within a life sciences, biotechnology, laboratory technology or scientific instrumentation environment.
Summar
yI’m working with an early-stage scientific technology business developing software and instrumentation used within advanced research environments. They’re looking to add a Software Engineer to a small multidisciplinary team, working across scientific software development, user interfaces, hardware integration and data analysis
.The role would suit someone who enjoys solving complex technical problems, working closely with scientists and engineers, and contributing to products that support cutting-edge research. Given the size of the team, there is plenty of opportunity to take ownership, influence technical direction and get involved in a broad range of project
