Convergent Research is a nonprofit organization that supports the creation and operation of Focused Research Organizations (FROs). These are new types of scientific startups dedicated to tackling large-scale, coordinated projects in science and technology. The organization aims to produce high-impact public goods and drive forward technically ambitious projects led by teams of scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs. Convergent Research operates with a focus on achieving pre-specified, quantifiable technical milestones within finite-duration projects. It is supported by significant funding from notable entities, including investment by influential figures in the science and tech communities.

📋 Description

• Own and evolve the microscope software stack, from low-level hardware control to user interfaces and real-time analysis layers • Maintain, debug, and extend the existing MATLAB codebase as the near-term priority, keeping experimental workflows unblocked • Develop and maintain new interfaces for data acquisition, instrument control, and synchronisation across complex instrument subsystems • Collaborate with FPGA engineering to define and implement software control and acquisition architectures • Work across software and mechatronics boundaries — stages, robotic platforms, motion control, inverse kinematics, and collision avoidance • Build and evolve real-time and offline image-analysis pipelines supporting the full experimental workflow • Work with the team to translate scientific requirements into robust software systems • Contribute to longer-term architectural evolution — modularising the stack, defining APIs, and evaluating migration pathways toward more scalable and maintainable systems

🎯 Requirements

• Strong background in software engineering for hardware-integrated or instrumentation systems • Experience with Python for data analysis and pipeline development • Experience designing modular software architectures: layered systems, clean APIs, separation of concerns • Experience interfacing software with hardware: data acquisition, control systems, synchronisation • Ability to work across abstraction layers, from low-level control to higher-level application logic • Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across software, hardware, and system-level interactions
