OfficeJob Description
Thermo Fisher Scientifics Ion Chromatography and Sample Preparation (ICSP) team is seeking a Senior Software Developer Driver Development to contribute to the development of next-generation ion chromatography laboratory instruments.
This role is part of a strategic NPI (New Product Introduction) initiative focused on developing a new generation platform for chromatographic instruments. This is not about maintaining or incrementally improving existing solutions but a complete redesign of a system currently built on approximately 15-year-old electronics.
The goal is to create a modern scalable platform by leveraging new technologies to significantly improve performance functionality and overall system architecture. The work involves developing software components that enable communication control and data acquisition for high-precision analytical instruments combining advanced hardware reliability and complex system integration.
This is a multi-year program offering long-term stability and the opportunity to contribute across multiple phases of developmentfrom early architecture through to commercialization.
What will you do
You will design and develop software components enabling reliable communication and control of laboratory instruments working at the intersection of software and hardware.
Driver Development & System Integration
- Develop and maintain instrument drivers enabling communication control and data acquisition
- Implement reliable communication between instruments and host systems
- Translate product and system requirements into structured maintainable software solutions
Interface Design & Collaboration
- Collaborate with hardware firmware and systems engineering teams to define and refine interfaces and integration points
- Contribute to technical design discussions within driver and integration layers
- Support integration with application software
Quality Reliability & Compliance
- Implement robust error handling diagnostics and logging
- Participate in testing verification and validation activities
- Follow secure development and quality practices aligned with regulatory requirements
Troubleshooting & Continuous Improvement
- Investigate and resolve complex issues across software and hardware boundaries
- Contribute to code reviews and continuous improvement of development processes and tools
- Support long-term maintainability and product evolution
Innovation & Productivity
- Leverage modern tools including AI-assisted development to improve code quality testing and engineering efficiency
Qualifications & Skills
- Degree in Computer Science Software Engineering Electrical Engineering or a related field (or equivalent experience)
- Strong experience in software development ideally in embedded systems or hardware-integrated environments
- Experience developing low-level software device drivers or hardware-interfacing applications
- Strong programming skills in modern languages (e.g. C/C or similar)
- Understanding of modular software design and maintainable architecture principles
- Knowledge of communication protocols and device interfacing concepts
- Familiarity with multi-threaded or concurrent systems
- Experience working in cross-functional teams (hardware firmware systems software)
- Experience in structured development processes; exposure to regulated or quality-driven environments is a plus
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across software and hardware interactions
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a distributed engineering environment
- Strong communication skills in English
- Commitment to software quality security and long-term maintainability
- Interest in leveraging AI-assisted development tools to improve productivity and quality
