About the role

  • Your software will control millions of dollars of laboratory equipment, orchestrate parallel experimental workflows, and ensure that our self-driving lab operates reliably under real-world conditions.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement unified APIs and SDKs enabling AI agents to control diverse laboratory instruments (oscilloscopes, network analyzers, SMUs, signal generators, lasers, etc.)
  • Build high-concurrency execution engines to orchestrate parallel measurements across multiple wafer chucks, cryostats, or test stations
  • Implement guardrail logic and runtime validation layers to prevent unsafe hardware operations and verify AI-generated commands
  • Develop fault-tolerant and observable systems with structured logging, monitoring, failure handling, and safe degradation mechanisms
  • Cutting-Edge Tools: Access to state-of-the-art tools and collaborative opportunities with leading experts in artificial intelligence, physics, hardware and electronic design automation.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience building production-grade software systems
  • Strong Python engineering experience (packaging with Poetry/UV, type hinting, decorators, context managers, modular architecture)
  • Experience automating laboratory or industrial hardware via VISA, SCPI, TCP/IP, gRPC, or similar protocols
  • Experience designing and maintaining SDKs, APIs, or control frameworks
  • Experience with structured scientific data formats (e.g., HDF5) and/or time-series databases

Nice to have

  • Experience with Rust or C++ for performance-critical loops
  • Familiarity with containerization (Docker) for deploying measurement runtimes
  • Hands-on experience in electro-optic measurements of bare dies, wafers, packaged chips, and boards
  • Experience with concurrent and asynchronous software systems, software testing and reliability, and production-grade robustness (observability, failure handling, safe degradation)
  • High agency: self-starter, no task too large or too small attitude.

Compensation

  • Competitive compensation

Benefits

  • Stock Options Plan: Empowering you to share in our success and growth.
  • Work-Life Balance: Flexible work arrangements in one of our offices, and sponsored visit to other Axiomatic Offices around the world.
