About the Role
We're looking for a Software Engineer with experience in automation and controls to design, build, and maintain automation systems for our Bioreactor and Bioprocessing business. This role will own everything from the interface of our Cloud software through the low-level control of a physical device, working across software, hardware, and systems teams to develop reliable automation solutions for complex physical systems.
Responsibilities
- Tune and troubleshoot control loops in real-world environments, including diagnosing oscillation, lag, overshoot, and instability.
- Improve automation reliability through monitoring, logging, fault detection, and recovery mechanisms.
- Evolve our AsyncAPI hardware interface so higher-level automation and AI systems can safely interact with physical equipment, with explicit permissions, validation, and fail-safe behavior.
- Continuously improve the tuning and failure modes of our existing control loops and develop and optimize new feedback control systems, including PID control loops, for stability, performance, and robustness.
- Build software interfaces for sensors, actuators, embedded controllers, and higher-level orchestration systems.
- Partner with mechanical, electrical, process, and software engineers to translate system requirements into reliable control implementations.
- Learn about biotechnology and bioprocess development.
Requirements
- 4+ years of industry experience including 2+ years developing software.
- Working knowledge of sensors, actuators, and data acquisition, and the ways they fail.
- Strong understanding of classical control theory, especially PID control, feedback loops, stability, response tuning, and disturbance rejection.
- Strong working relationship with scientists and the ability to translate process requirements into control logic.
- Care about technical rigor: testing assumptions, validating behavior against data, and understanding failure modes rather than stopping at 'it works.'
- Strong systems thinking and ability to work across hardware and software boundaries.
- Kind, curious, and enjoy learning new things.
