Job Description
Thermo Fisher Scientific's Ion Chromatography and Sample Preparation (ICSP) team is seeking a C#/C++ Engineer 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 backend components for embedded user interfaces (eUI), enabling robust communication, control, and data handling for high-precision analytical instruments.
This is a multi-year program , offering long-term stability and the opportunity to contribute across multiple phases of developmentāfrom early architecture through to commercialization.
What will you do?
You will design and develop backend software components for embedded systems, contributing to scalable, secure, and maintainable software architecture.
Backend Development & Architecture
Design, develop, and maintain backend components for embedded UI systems using modern C# (primary) and/or C++ Apply object-oriented design principles, design patterns, and strong data structures to build maintainable solutions
Contribute to architectural discussions and technical decision-making
System Integration & Collaboration
Collaborate with architects, firmware, DevOps, and test engineers to deliver integrated software solutions
Translate complex technical and scientific requirements into robust implementations
Support integration across embedded, firmware, and higher-level application layers
Quality, Security & DevOps
Implement automated testing strategies and practice test-driven development
Support CI/CD pipelines and follow modern DevOps practices for build, integration, and deployment
Ensure secure coding practices aligned with regulatory and cybersecurity requirements
Delivery & Continuous Improvement
Participate in agile development processes (including SAFe where applicable)
Work independently on complex problems while supporting and mentoring less experienced engineers
Contribute to continuous improvement of code quality, development processes, and tooling
Innovation & Productivity
- Leverage modern tools, including AI-assisted development , to improve speed, quality, and knowledge sharing
Qualifications & Skills
Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
Strong experience in backend software development (C# preferred; C++/Python also relevant)
Solid understanding of object-oriented design, data structures, and algorithms
Experience developing modular, maintainable, and scalable software systems
Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git) and modern development workflows
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and DevOps practices
Experience working in agile development environments (SAFe is a plus)
Understanding of distributed systems or embedded environments is an advantage
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with ability to handle complex requirements
Strong communication skills in English
Interest in leveraging AI-assisted development tools to improve productivity and quality
