A brand new vacancy for a Software Engineer with an incredible scientific instrumentation start-up has become available, based in West London (W12) . The Software Engineer will form part of an interdisciplinary team developing software to automate laboratory equipment and processes. Collaborate cross-functionally with scientists, engineers and bioinformaticians to streamline experimental workflows, improve user experience, and integrate software with complex hardware systems. Develop and refine GUIs for prototype instruments working with stakeholders. Develop and maintain embedded software or firmware for instruments where applicable. Ensure robust communication between hardware components e.g., sensors, actuators, pumps. Develop software to automate lab processes, sample handling, experimental protocols, and data collection. Work with engineers and scientists to integrate lab systems (e.g., liquid handlers, robotic arms, microfluidic controllers) into experimental workflows. Build pipelines for real-time or post-run data processing e.g., images from microscopes. Develop software for data analysis, data QC checks, statistical analysis, or machine learning models to interpret experimental data. Understand experimental goals and help translate scientific requirements into technical solutions. The ideal Software Engineer will hold a PhD in Computer Science / Software Engineering and have extensive previous experience in a similar role with strong programming skills (Python, C++, C#, Java) and knowledge of hardware-software integration (instrument control, serial communication, APIs etc.) as well as experience of developing GUIs using PyQt. This is a superb opportunity to join a growing start up with exceptional tech and make a massive contribution to life sciences research for the benefit of humanity.
