Material Handler - Customer Sequence Packing 2nd shift
The Design, Automation, Manufacturing, and Prototyping (DAMP) laboratory lab focuses on the design, construction, and test of novel biological systems in a fast, standard, cost-effective, and reproducible manner.
The lab is looking for a staff software engineer to develop computational tools focused on lab automation of biological experiments related to SARS CoV-2 (COVID-19) screening, performed by experimentalists of the wet lab. Due to the increasing demand of SARS-CoV-2 patient and community sample testing in 2020, to increase the testing capacity of Boston University, the DAMP lab developed a dedicated large-scale facility for SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) diagnostic infrastructure (DAMP-COVID lab), equipped with liquid handler robots, RT-qPCR machines, other automation pieces.
The expert engineer will develop and improve computational software tools for the fully automated hardware workflow of the DAMP lab. They will collaborate with biologists, engineers, designers, and lab managers to execute on a broad range of projects, from building new features to improve user experience, to architecting infrastructure to support a fast-growing user base and research needs. Further, the candidate will program, create protocols, manage deployment, and maintain all computer hardware and software to ensure the smooth running of computer systems, under the direct supervision of the DAMP lab manager.
