You will own the software layer that coordinates instruments and robots into push-button, reusable workflows. You will design state models, events, and integration modules; partner with data engineering experts to define schemas and event contracts; and deliver production-grade releases with observability and rollback. This role is software-leaning and science-facing: experiencewith pharmaceutical product development workflows, verification via vision/sensors, and data product thinking will help you translatescientistneeds into robust orchestration. Help us accelerate life-changing therapies to patients with rare and ultra-rare diseases.\nTranslate scientist and operator requirements (throughput, usability, exception paths, reliability targets) into orchestration designs and software implementations.\n\nImplement run-control logic (state models/events), exception handling, recovery/rollback, and scheduling for automated work cells and instruments.\n\nDevelop reusable drivers/adapters and interface modules aligned to documented contracts, coding standards, andversioning,reviewcode,and tests for quality.\n\nIntegrate instruments/robots with schedulers and data services using interfaces and SDKs; partner with data engineering experts to define schemas and event models to support analytics and ML features.\n\nApply configuration-as-code, CI/CD, automated testing, and secure development practices; ship documented releases and migration guides.\n\nInstrument workflows with telemetry/logs/alerts; define service level indicators andobjectivesfor orchestration software;participatein postmortems and reliability exercises.\n\nProduce onboarding artifacts (connectivity patterns, validation checklists, example configurations) and support operator UAT and day-2 enablement.\n\nSupport commissioning, cutovers, andhypercarefor priority workflows; track reuse, commissioning time, error/rerun reduction, and uptime.\n\nYou willbe responsible for:\nOrchestration software components that meet reliability and usability targets across instruments and work cells.\n\nAudit-ready data trails for setpoints, states, recipe steps, and analytical outputs; alignment to validation and security expectations.\n\nHigh-quality documentation, release notes, and onboarding kits that enable repeatable adoption.\n\nContinuous improvement of orchestration software reliability using telemetry and corrective actions.\n\nYou will need to have:\nEducation/experience: PhD + 0 years, or MS + 4 years, or BS + 8 years in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)-including 4+years building software for lab or industrial automation or robotics, with hands on orchestration or controls integration.\n\nProficiencyin one or more languagescommonin automation (for example, Python, C#, or Java) and experience with event-driven patterns and state machines.\n\nExperience with interfaces, SDKs, and message buses; integrating with schedulers and data services; familiarity with schema design, data contracts, and basic SQL.\n\nCollaboration with scientists/operators, mechatronics/controls, and data engineers; clear, user-focused documentation.\n\nThe duties of this role may require periodic work in a laboratory or manufacturing environment. As is typical of such roles, employees must be able, with or without an accommodation to: lift/carry 15/30 pounds unassisted/assisted; work comfortably in a controlled environment with and around hazardous materials; gown/degownPPE; use a computer; engage in communications via phone, video, and electronic messaging; engage in problem solving and non-linear thought, analysis, and dialogue; collaborate with others; maintain general availability during standard business hours.\n\nWe wouldpreferfor you to have:\nExperience withbiologicsworkflows (cell culture, purification, analytics) and integrating with ELN/LIMS/SDMS systems.\n\nHands-on work with robotics SDKs, verification via vision/sensors, barcode or RFID, or material-handling subsystems.\n\nFamiliarity with observability tooling (metrics/logs/alerts), defining service levels, and structuredpostmortems.\n\nIn person working statement:\nWhen we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash bold thinking with the power to inspirelife-changingmedicines.In-personworking gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace, and challengeperceptions.That iswhy we work, on average, a minimum of four days per week from the office.
