Description

**Due to limited quota, Singaporeans and Permanent Residents may apply.** About the role 10x Genomics was founded to deliver powerful and reliable tools that fuel key scientific discoveries and drive exponential progress in our mastery of biology to advance human health. Our talented team has a distinguished record of creating innovative instruments, reagents, and software that analyze biological systems at a resolution that matches the complexity of biology. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Instrument Software team. You have expert-level knowledge of creating advanced instrument control software & firmware with C, C++, Python and/or Rust. You can handle threading, multiprocessing and interfacing with low-level drivers, firmware & hardware with ease. You are a stickler for testing and thrive on creating a clean and maintainable codebase. You are a system level thinker who weighs how the design decision you make today will have an impact days, months, and even years down the line. You are the engineer that other engineers can count on; you are technically excellent, you attack every problem with enthusiasm, you care deeply about what it takes to build high quality software. You will be working closely with fluidics, electrical, mechanical, optical, and fellow embedded software engineers (and the occasional biologist) to design, implement, and deploy algorithms and tools that allow us to iterate on new designs quickly and confidently. You love distilling a problem to first principles to understand it from equations on paper to compiled code. Ideal candidates will be independent operators that enjoy working in a lab or on the manufacturing floor with physical components and have a deep understanding of real-time asynchronous systems. Applicants must love tinkering and have a true hacker mindset. What you will be doing Designing and developing embedded control software and firmware for cutting edge biological instrumentation platforms Design and develop diagnostics tools for fleet monitoring employing AI Working with mechanical and electrical engineers to inform design and develop appropriate control schemes and interfaces Contributing to the entire software lifecycle from requirements gathering to validation Writing well structured, testable, efficient and maintainable software Taking ownership of calibration and verification tools prototyped by other technical teams (e.g. Optical Engineering, Electrical Engineering) and turning it into robust, deployable software Collaborating with manufacturing teams on the factory floor to troubleshoot new failure modes and identify necessary process or software changes to prevent recurrence. Building simulation and observability tools that allow order of magnitude throughputs improvements Effectively communicating complex technical issues to stakeholders with a variety of technical depth Minimum requirements Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, math, or scientific discipline with 5 years experience; OR Master’s degree with 3 years of experience in software development; OR PHD with 1 year of experience in software development Embedded/Firmware Development C or Modern C++ Python3 Linux Use of AI tools for software development life cycle Preferred skills and experience Confident usage of Python scientific and numerical computing and visualization packages (e.g. numpy, pandas, matplotlib) EE knowledge (Digital & Analog Design) and familiarity with laboratory test equipment (e.g. digital multimeter, oscilloscope, signal analyzer, etc.) Rapid software prototyping & validation with attention to detail and engineering diligence Strong analytical and problem-solving skills Strong verbal and written communication skills Formal approach to design & architecture of complex systems Exposure to ROS Familiarity with modeling and control of robotic systems (e.g. rigid body transforms, forward/inverse kinematics, motion planning) Familiarity with state estimation algorithms Grasp of the basics of machine vision and experience using toolkits like OpenCV and Scikit-Image. (e.g. SIFT, 2D phase correlation) Familiarity with AI aided software development practices and integrating AI into existing tooling. Background in biology and DNA sequencing is not required. Interest in the field is. #LI-RT1 #LI-Onsite About 10x Genomics At 10x Genomics, accelerating our understanding of biology is more than a mission for us. It is a commitment.
