Software Engineer - Biomedical Imaging Startup at Ionpath Inc. (Menlo Park, CA)

Description

Ionpath is hiring a Software Engineer to contribute to all aspects of our Multiplexed Ion Beam Imaging (MIBI) system. We are a venture-backed commercial stage startup with a unique mass spectrometry technology that measures protein expression in tissue samples. Compared to conventional tissue imaging methods, we offer a substantial increase in multiplexing as well as high resolution and 3D imaging. MIBI's capabilities enable researchers and clinicians to generate insights into a wide variety of biomedical applications including oncology, immunology and neuroscience.

This is an opportunity to be a core member of Ionpath's engineering team. From a technical point of view MIBI is an exciting challenge because it involves biology, signal processing, imaging, ion beams, time of flight mass spectrometry, and motion control. We are seeking engineers whose interests span from interfacing with hardware to modern web development and interactive visualizations. You should be a seasoned software engineer who is excited to dive in and try new things, while insisting on work of the highest quality including thorough testing.
