Arbetsbeskrivning

At Cellink, we Create the Future of Health by leveraging the power of 3D cell culture through award-winning 3D bioprinters and carefully sourced biomaterials and bioinks.

About the role

A Software Engineer develops and optimizes the communication layers that enable secure, real-time data exchange between embedded systems, high-level applications, and bio fabrication hardware. The role includes integrating embedded Linux, C++, Python, and CI/CD pipelines to ensure reliable and high-performance system behavior. They collaborate closely with firmware, hardware, and other teams to achieve seamless system interoperability and support the advancement of next-generation 3D Bio printing technology.

Responsibilities and Duties

• Develop and debug software across the entire product range, from low-level drivers and firmware interfaces to high-level application and service layers. Ensure smooth integration and functionality between embedded systems, middleware, and user-facing applications.
• Design, build, and maintain middleware layers that enable robust, real-time communication between hardware components and cloud or desktop applications, ensuring compliance with cybersecurity, data integrity, and regulatory requirements.
• Build and maintain automated test systems and simulation environments to validate middleware behavior, detect regressions, and ensure consistent code quality across software versions.
• Maintain clear and accurate documentation for both new and existing middleware components, including architecture diagrams, communication protocols and integration guides.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues related to data synchronization, performance bottlenecks, memory usage, and system-level bugs, working closely with cross-functional teams.
• Collaborate with hardware engineers, firmware developers, and application developers to ensure seamless system interoperability.
• Participate in code reviews, technical design discussions, and architecture planning to continuously enhance the scalability and maintainability of the codebase.
• Advocate for best practices in software development, including version control, code reuse, modularity, and testability.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• Certifications in relevant technologies (e.g., AWS Certified Developer, Microsoft Azure Developer) are a plus.
• Approximately 3 years of industry experience in software or systems engineering, with at least 2 years focused on systems integration.
• Experience working in high-performance environments involving hardware-software interactions, such as robotics or medical devices.

Candidates should have strong embedded software development experience for resource-constrained and real-time systems. Proficiency in C++ is required, with knowledge of at least one additional language, preferably Python. Experience with Marlin or other 3D-printing firmware, as well as slicer software, is a strong advantage.

The role spans the full software stack, including low-level drivers, communication protocols, service layers, and desktop or embedded UIs. Familiarity with Qt is beneficial.

Experience with CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins is expected, along with developing test systems and writing unit, integration, and regression tests for both simulated and hardware environments. Knowledge of secure boot, certificate-based authentication, and secure key storage is valuable. Expertise with over-the-air update solutions such as Mender and custom Linux builds using Yocto is highly beneficial.

As we also believe, having a strong attention to detail and a quality-driven mindset is essential for achieving high standards and effectively overcoming challenges. Equally important are excellent communication skills, creative thinking, and the ability to solve problems analytically with a structured approach to tasks.

Practical conditions

• This role primarily requires onsite presence, with remote work allowed only as needed and with manager approval.
• Flexibility to adjust work hours for collaboration across multiple time zones, including periods that may exceed the standard work week.
