  • Build and maintain APIs and data interfaces between hardware systems, databases, and visualization tools
  • Coordinate with Electrical and Test Ops engineers on sensor data format requirements
  • Identify and solve scaling bottlenecks as sensor count and sampling rates increase — multithreading, buffering, protocol optimization, data compression
  • Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and test operations engineers to define data requirements interface specifications, and instrumentation architecture
  • Maintain clear technical documentation for all systems, interfaces, and data schemas
Job Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field

  • Familiarity with multi-threading, concurrency, and performance optimization
  • Ability to work effectively alongside hardware engineers and translate physical system requirements into software designs
  • Experience in a lab, test, or R&D environment is a plus — you don't need to write firmware, but you should be comfortable in a room full of hardware
Job Details:
