We offer an engineers the unique opportunity to not only build these meaningful software solutions but also get firsthand exposure to robotics within our own in-house wetlab! What does a Software Engineer do at Counsyl? Our engineers build custom software from scratch based on a Python/Django/Postgres stack. They build new tools, workflows, and infrastructure when it comes to patient, physician, and internal communication. Some of the challenges they tackle daily are related to: ◦ Tracking samples, inventory, billing, interactive applications in real time ◦ Using complex algorithms and machine learning to target gene mutations that lead to the main causes of different diseases ◦ Create software that connects lab robotics and patient samples for high throughput What does an Automation Engineer do at Counsyl? Our Automation Engineers are handling all aspects of software design that goes into our robots. They are tackling everything from high-level software implementation to mechatronics systems design to electrical circuits drawing to custom robotics parts development. These areas affect our lab processes when it comes to: ◦ DNA extraction ◦ Controls software ◦ Overall sample management ◦ Sensor software A lot of companies can't do custom hardware robotics stuff because it takes a lot of software. We are tackling this problem by taking nothing and turning it into full stack software. We are developing algorithms, using 3D printing for functional prototyping, and leveraging 2 decades worth of robotics to help people make effective health decisions on a macro scale.
