BD is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to be part of the team responsible for developing instrumentation for the detection and treatment of infectious diseases. The software engineer will work closely with The Bioinformatics, Algorithms, and Non-Clinical Statistics (BANCS) Group. The group delivers both service to internal customers through personal collaboration with associates across R&D and other functions in Diagnostic Systems, and products in the form of easy-to-use software.
The Software Engineer will develop, deploy and maintain software applications and computational solutions to support product development and R&D needs. They will also work with computational solutions in other areas, such as monitoring QC results for trends or deploying plotting software with the Customer Support team, when the solution requires R&D knowledge of the system, or statistical techniques provided by the BANCS Group.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
