- Facilitate the successful launch of the Volta system and participate in key decisions early on in the company's evolution.
- Design, develop, test, and implement code for new processes, then iterate with interdisciplinary partners to ensure KPIs are met.
- Influence improvements for next-generation biology systems to enhance quality, features, complexity, and reduce costs.
- Identify new data points to capture for performance measurement, maintain data accuracy, and continuously improve outcomes in a data-driven manner.
- Facilitate hardware bring-up and failure analysis, regularly getting hands-on experience with hardware.
- Within 3 months, complete onboarding, ramp into the code base, and fully understand the product and opportunity.
- Provide mentorship, code review, and technical influence to the team.
- Collaborate with cross-functional peers and senior leadership to outline immediate priorities for Callisto software development and start executing on them.
- By 6 months, craft the 12-month roadmap for Callisto capabilities with the product and biology teams and actively support architectural decisions and technical conversations at a strategic level.
- Begin influencing software development practices and hygiene, participating in hiring decisions, onboarding fellow engineers, and shipping multiple new chemical process capabilities to Callisto's software.
- At 12+ months, continue software development and improvements, influencing future systems designs, including SW pipelines, SW infrastructures, device SW architectures, and hardware component selection.
You have designed, launched, and executed a software development roadmap, balancing team bandwidth, stakeholder needs, and market opportunity.
You have demonstrated experience in creating software best practices and balancing quality and delivery.
You are a solutions-oriented contributor with a bias towards action over perfection.
You have a deep understanding of modern Python capabilities for robotics or electromechanical device applications, real-time embedded systems within Linux or POSIX-like operating systems environments, and bare metal MCU applications in C/C++ or Rust.
You have a desire to be hands-on writing code and are comfortable with hardware, able to read schematics.
As a technical and cultural leader, you'll guide a growing team, providing mentorship and direction.
