About this role

Position Purpose:

The Software Engineer leads full-stack software development for medical In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) devices and provides software engineering support for biological analysis software packages. This role bridges low-level hardware interaction and high-level user interfaces, developing robust software applications, configuring operating system environments, and verifying code against established regulatory and technical specifications. The engineer will design and build intuitive UI/UX for non-technical users to control complex scientific instruments, interface directly with microcontrollers and embedded hardware, and enable automated analysis of complex biological datasets to provide actionable information to end users.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Lead full-stack software development efforts for medical IVD systems and biological analysis software, spanning lower-level microcontroller/hardware interfaces to upper-level application logic and user interfaces.
  • Design, build, and refine intuitive graphical user interfaces (UI/UX) that enable scientific personnel and non-technical operators to control analytical instruments and sensor networks.
  • Program, integrate, and test low-level microcontrollers (e.g., Arduino or similar platforms) to communicate with biological sensors, custom boards, and peripherals.
  • Write, test, and optimize high-performance C++ codebases as well as Python applications for instrumentation control, data processing, and analytical workflows.
  • Implement cybersecurity controls, software hardening procedures, and secure coding practices within production and operational environments.
  • Adhere to quality management system (QMS) protocols and regulatory/ISO standards (e.g., ISO 13485, ISO 62304) throughout the software development lifecycle, including formal design controls, risk assessments, and code documentation.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including biologists, systems engineers, hardwar...
