Bridge Science and Software to Transform Lab Automation

We’re partnering with a global leader in laboratory automation and intelligent software solutions. Their platform powers next-generation labs by seamlessly connecting instruments, robotics, and data systems to unlock high-throughput, scalable scientific workflows.

As a Software Applications Specialist , you'll operate at the intersection of science, technology, and client engagement. You’ll support the sales process with technical expertise, translate scientific needs into software requirements, and help ensure client projects are successfully scoped, specified, and delivered. This is a pivotal role for someone who thrives on solving complex problems and communicating sophisticated solutions with clarity and confidence.

What You’ll Do

• Pre-Sales Technical Support

• Partner with Sales Managers to analyze customer workflows and design tailored software integration solutions.

• Present and demonstrate product capabilities to de-risk client decisions and build technical confidence.

• Translate customer requirements into solution designs, including workflow modeling and scripting specifications (e.g., C#, Python, RESTful APIs).

• Solution Scoping & Documentation

• Create high-quality technical documentation, specifications, and Statements of Work (SOWs) for internal and external use.

• Develop prototype scripts or configurations to illustrate intended functionality in automation and integration contexts.

• Communicate assumptions, define gaps, and collaborate with stakeholders to refine the solution as details evolve.

• Project Handoff & Implementation Support

• Work closely with Product and Project Managers to ensure seamless transitions from sales to deployment.

• Occasionally support implementation or testing phases directly, helping customers validate functionality and achieve success.

• Cross-Team Collaboration

• Engage with colleagues from product, engineering, and commercial teams to support continuous improvement.

• Keep current on trends in lab orchestration, LIMS, scientific informatics, and software integration strategies.
