Lead Fullstack/Controls Engineer

Lead Full-Stack Software/Controls Engineer TL;DR we’re hiring a Fullstack Software/Controls Engineer About Andson: www.andsonbiotech.com Apply by replying to this posting/reaching out via email. Sending a resume/summary of your experience will help us out. Required: Technologies: React, Python, FastAPI, embedded C++, SQL, Linux, nginx Deep experience across the stack, especially React & Python Very high ownership: You have created and maintained full-stack projects entirely on your own. Significant UI/UX design experience: You know when the flow is a little off, why, and how to fix it. Versatile when building: You can get things shipped quickly, but also realize when it's best to take a step back and refactor first. Highly independent & self-driven: You will be the only software engineer at the company. Preferred: Experience designing ergonomic interfaces for physical machines You have developed software for single board computers or in similarly resource-constrained environments\ Firmware development experience (Arduino) Knowledge of electrical & PCB design Experience working with small teams Independent learner More Info: Andson Biotech is developing a microfluidic platform enabling rapid sample cleanup for mass spectrometry applications. Mass spectrometry is a gold-standard chemical analysis tool, but it remains limited in utility due to the complex workflows associated with going from raw sample to analysis. Our flagship product, the DynaCHIP, enables simple, on-demand mass spectrometric analysis with easy-to-use interfaces that democratize mass spectrometry from lab to market. Andson Biotech was spun out of Georgia Tech and is supported by Y Combinator and Merck Digital Sciences Studio. We are a seed-stage startup, so every role has the chance for growth. Apply even if you aren't a perfect fit - we can't know you're awesome unless we meet you. Job Description We're seeking a self-motivated software engineer capable of working quickly with our hardware engineering team to develop a streamlined Currently, we have a commercially viable product and are looking to deploy the first 10 units. This engineer will support the current units used for application development and external demos as well as customer deployed units. Ideally, you are excited at the idea of building a tool that lots of people can use to do great science. We expect the ideal candidate to have extensive experience in Python and breadboarding for prototypes. Experience putting together user interfaces and integrating UIs with python or other “more robust” codes for front-end applications is a must. We need the candidate to “hit the ground running”. What you'll do : Own the backbone of a product: You will be the sole software engineer working on the software of our device as it enters the market. Build internal analytics, logging, and testing tools as needed for bulletproof product reliability & QC. Work with internal users & customers to create a coherent and smooth user experience. Immediate/Short Term Work (60-90 days) Work with engineering team to familiarize with DynaChip including firmware, software, and hardware. Work with the applications and engineering teams to develop new system workflows Develop robust control systems with comprehensive state management and error handling Create intuitive user interfaces that simplify user interaction with the system Build internal analytics, logging, testing, and visualization tools as needed for bulletproof product reliability & streamlined system performance/analytics including both local and networked database logging solutions Long Term Initiatives (6-12 months & beyond) Test and document code, APIs, and system architecture Work with the engineering team to integrate sensors, motors, valves, pumps, etc. into the physical product. Work with the engineering team and external contractors for electrical system design including custom PCB integration. Support incremental improvements to existing products (e.g., upgrading a sensor to increase system stability) Support ground-up product development cycles (prototyping, proof-of-concept, testing, and commercialization) Design and implement secure over-the-air (OTA) update mechanisms for robust communication bridges between local hardware and networked servers for remote updates, support, and data logging
