Software is vital to our success in developing award-winning biotech instruments and enterprise LIMS platforms for the life sciences industry. We are seeking a versatile, highly disciplined Software Engineer to drive the implementation, maintenance, and enhancement of scalable web applications, data analytics workflows, and instrument control software. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams—including scientists, product management, and SQA—to translate complex requirements into robust, production-grade software. This is a hybrid position based in Wallingford, CT, working three days per week onsite. Responsibilities: * Full-Lifecycle Execution and Delivery: Actively participate in all phases of the software development lifecycle—from technical breakdown and design through C#/.NET development, unit testing, SQA handoff, and deployment. * Architecture & Clean Code: Isolate root causes of complex technical bugs across distributed codebases. Refactor legacy C#/.NET components into testable, clean architecture. * Pragmatic AI & Tooling: Leverage AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, LLMs) to accelerate routine implementation, unit test generation, and documentation—while maintaining strict architectural oversight, code comprehension, and rigorous manual verification of all generated output. * Pragmatic Delivery: Balance technical excellence with steady velocity—prioritizing incremental releases, practical scope management, and high-throughput execution through SQA. * Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner effectively with scientists, hardware engineers, and software quality assurance to resolve complex software-hardware integration challenges and streamline pipeline workflows. * Compliance & Standards: Ensure software engineering practices align with ISO-13485 regulatory frameworks and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance requirements.
