We're looking for a Software Engineer who has experience in automation and controls to design, build, and maintain automation systems for our Bioreactor and Bioprocessing business. This person is comfortable with physical systems, has a deep understanding of control loop

theory, and comes with a strong focus in controls, closed-loop system behavior, and PID-based control strategies. When a temperature control starts to oscillate, you can dive in, look at the traces, have a working theory of where the feedback loop went wrong, and come up with

solutions to compensate and add margin to the design.

for complex physical systems, improve process performance, and enable scalable, repeatable operation. Our software controls physical processes that run for days at a time, where failures can ruin an expensive experiment.

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.
