GenScript has an established global presence across North America,

low-level hardware communication (USB/SPI/serial) and embedded
firmware integration to GUI design, data analysis tools, and
database management — ensuring seamless operation for end-user
scientists. Responsibilities: Own the Software Development Life
Cycle (SDLC) for instrument control software: design, implement,
debug, test, and deploy across Java/Python/C++ codebases. Modernize
and refactor legacy systems while ensuring backward compatibility
with low level software embedded firmware (custom PCB controller)
and hardware messaging protocols. Collaborate cross-functionally
with engineers, scientists, and IT to translate user feedback into
scalable software improvements (UI/UX, performance, reliability).
Develop data analysis pipelines (Python scripts, databases) and
real-time monitoring tools for high-speed acquisition and process
optimization. Act as SME for software architecture: document APIs,
mentor junior engineers, and align technical decisions with
long-term product roadmaps. Qualifications: Requires Bachelor’s
degree in Computer Science, Computer Science & Engineering,
Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related field.
Technical Non-Negotiables: 6–8 years in full-stack software
development for instrumentation/robotics/embedded systems.
Expertise in: Java: core codebase, multi-threaded code and GUI
desktop applications (JavaFX or Swing). Java, Maven, NetBeans IDE
and Mercurial. Python: scripting, data analysis tools. Low-level
comms protocols: USB, Serial, SPI, I2C. Microcontrollers/embedded
firmware (hands-on debugging). GUI development (e.g., Java FX,
Swing, Qt, or other modern frameworks). Proven leadership in
architecting complex systems (design patterns, version control,
continuous improvement (CI) / continuous development (CD)). Soft
Skills & Culture Fit: “Product mindset”: Balance technical rigor
with end-user needs (scientists’ workflows). Communicate complex
ideas clearly to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
