Original job description

Senior Software Engineer – Scientific Instrumentation and Process Engineering

The Allen Institute accelerates science for a healthier world through large-scale research designed to answer some of the most complex questions in biology. Our multi-disciplinary teams generate foundational knowledge, tools, and data to understand how our brain, cells, and immune system work. We share our work openly so others can build on it, move faster, and ask bigger questions. We drive discovery forward and create new possibilities for improving human health.

We are searching for a Senior Software Engineer that will provide technical leadership and hands-on software development for complex automated systems in which software controls and coordinates hardware. This person will define software architecture, technical plans, development standards, and delivery roadmaps; lead integration across robotics, motion control, machine vision, data acquisition, telemetry, user interfaces, and electromechanical subsystems; establish reliable testing, CI/CD, deployment, and observability practices; and guide systems from early prototypes to maintainable, supportable platforms. The Senior Software Engineer will partner closely with scientists, hardware engineers, systems engineers, and other software engineers to translate scientific and operational workflows into robust, modular solutions that support a range of instrumentation and automation initiatives.

At the Allen Institute, we believe that science is for everyone – and should be open to everyone. We are dedicated to combating biases and reducing barriers to STEM careers more broadly.

We also believe that science is better when it includes different perspectives and voices. We strive to make the Allen Institute a place where everyone feels like they belong and are empowered to do their best work in a supportive environment.

We are an equal-opportunity employer and strongly encourage people from all backgrounds to apply for our open positions.

Essential Functions

Serve as software technical lead for complex automated and hardware-integrated systems, setting architecture, technical direction, development standards, and implementation roadmaps
Design, develop, test, and maintain modular software for automated scientific instruments that integrate robotics, motion control, imaging, sensors, actuators, and data systems
Define stable interfaces, interprocess communication patterns, data flows, and hardware-abstraction layers across complex electromechanical subsystems
Translate scientific, operational, and system requirements into software specifications, technical plans, milestones, and executable work for the engineering team
Define and oversee the strategy, standards, and technical direction for CI/CD, automated testing, simulation, release, deployment, telemetry, logging, and observability practices appropriate for reliable laboratory automation
Lead integration, verification, and troubleshooting across software, robotics, machine vision, and instrument hardware from prototype through validated system operation
Partner with scientists, hardware engineers, systems engineers, and end users to refine workflows and deliver safe, maintainable, and supportable solutions
Provide technical guidance, design and code review, and mentorship to software engineers while promoting consistent engineering practices and documentation
Own software and process technical learning loops aligned with the candidate's interest and skills or team needs
Evaluate and apply modern software and AI-assisted development tools where they improve engineering velocity, quality, testing, documentation, and long-term maintainability

*Note: Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. This description reflects management’s assignment of essential functions; it does not proscribe or restrict the tasks that may be assigned. *

Required Education and Experience

Professional experience developing software in Python, C++, C#, or comparable languages used for instrument control and automation
Demonstrated experience integrating software with hardware devices, including motion systems, cameras, sensors, actuators, data-acquisition devices, or related instrumentation
Demonstrated experience with source control, code review, automated testing, continuous integration, release management, and technical documentation
Demonstrated experience translating system and user requirements into software architecture, interfaces, implementation plans, and delivered functionality

Preferred Education and Experience

Master’s degree in computer science, software engineering, robotics, or a related technical field
10+ years of professional software engineering experience, including experience with robotics, motion planning or control, machine vision, image processing, and precision automation
Experience with distributed systems, interprocess communication, hardware abstraction, device APIs, and event-driven or state-machine architectures
Experience with safety critical software and software architecture including leading qualification and reliability campaigns and operationalization, maintenance, and support of reliable systems
Experience developing user interfaces, data acquisition and management workflows, telemetry, logging, and system health monitoring for scientific or industrial equipment
Experience moving prototypes into reliable production or laboratory operation, including verification, validation, deployment, and sustainment
Experience collaborating across scientific, software, electrical, mechanical, and systems engineering disciplines
Experience mentoring engineers and influencing technical standards across a team
Experience using AI-assisted engineering tools responsibly to accelerate development, testing, documentation, or maintenance

Work Environment

Work is performed in office, software-development, engineering, and laboratory environments
Regular onsite work with automated scientific instruments, robotics, imaging systems, and electromechanical prototypes
Possible exposure to laboratory materials or chemical, biological, mechanical, electrical, or other hazards; use of required personal protective equipment and adherence to established safety procedures are expected
