Research Software Engineer, Scientific Instrumentation

Subsense is looking for a Research Software Engineer, Scientific Instrumentation to build the software foundation that connects our experimental hardware, scientific instruments, and data. In this role, you’ll work directly with scientists and engineers to translate complex laboratory workflows into reliable, intuitive software for instrument control, data acquisition, real-time visualization, experimental monitoring, and data handling.

This is a highly hands-on role for an engineer who enjoys working at the intersection of software, hardware, and experimental science. You’ll help establish scalable patterns for how instruments are integrated, how multiple data streams are synchronized, and how experimental data moves from acquisition through storage and downstream analysis. You’ll have meaningful ownership over the tools researchers use every day and the opportunity to shape the scientific software infrastructure of a growing R&D organization.
