About Volta Labs

Volta Labs is a pioneering applications company that is revolutionizing the future of genomics. Our mission is to make extracting vital information from biological samples as simple as pressing a button, through our flagship product Callisto.

We are a Boston-based, venture-backed biotech startup that is passionate about pushing the boundaries of automation, biology, computing, robotics, design, and user experience to benefit our customers and the world.

The Role

We are seeking a seasoned software engineer to join our team as a Principal Instrument Software Engineer. As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for designing, developing, testing, and implementing code for our electromechanical and biomechanical products.

You will partner with non-software stakeholders to outline requirements and design for new processes to build into the Volta instrument. You will also facilitate the successful launch of the Volta system and participate as a key player early on in the company's evolution.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Designing and developing software for real-time embedded systems within Linux or POSIX-like operating systems environments
  • Developing and implementing code for bare metal MCU applications in C/C++ or Rust
  • Partnering with cross-functional peers and senior leadership to outline priorities for Callisto software development
  • Influencing software development practices and hygiene
  • Participating in hiring decisions, onboarding fellow engineers, and shipping new capabilities to Callisto's software
What You'll Achieve

In the first 3 months, you will have completed onboarding, ramped into the code base, and fully understood our product and opportunity. You will be providing mentorship, code review, and technical influence to the team.

By 6 months, you will have crafted the 12-month roadmap for Callisto capabilities with the product and biology teams. You will be actively supporting architectural decisions and technical conversations at a strategic level.

At 12+ months, you will continue to influence software development and improvements. You will influence future systems designs, including SW pipelines, SW infrastructures, device SW architectures, and hardware component selection.Qualifications

We are looking for a seasoned software engineer with a deep understanding of modern Python capabilities for robotics or electromechanical device applications. You should have experience in creating software best practices and balancing good quality practices with delivery.

You should be a solutions-oriented contributor with a bias towards action over perfection. You should be comfortable with hardware and able to read schematics. You should be able to act as a technical and cultural leader for a team that is actively growing, learning, and looking for mentorship and direction.

Our Benefits and Perks

We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including robust equity, comprehensive healthcare coverage, HSA with monthly company contribution, sponsored commuter benefit plans, access to our 401K plan, 12 weeks of paid parental leave, paid time off, 11 paid holidays, twice weekly company lunches, monthly team happy hours, and regular team outings.

We are an equal opportunity employer and foster diversity and inclusion at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. We actively seek out and value diverse backgrounds and experiences.
