Responsibilities

Lead System-level Critical Parameter Management. Work with the chemistry and engineering leads to identify system-level critical parameters and then run experiments to understand their impact and optimize performance

Lead HW workflow development. The system is composed of many modules with different workflow constraints and characteristics. Developing a robust and optimized workflow will involve a mix of analysis, testing and verification

Lead SW and algorithm integration and debugging. SW and HW algorithms will be developed as the system is integrated that will require careful testing. Ensuring that our SW and HW algorithms are robust against noise and workflow variations will require a willingness to dig deep into the basic theory of operation of the full system

Issue management and Tiger Team leadership. You will work with hardware and chemistry leads to identify issues and track their resolution. When multi-disciplinary problems arise that are beyond the capabilities of a single team, you’ll form “Tiger Teams” with relevant experts to resolve the issues efficiently

Lead configuration and parameter management. With such a complex system, the number of tunable and configurable parameters will be significant. You will work with the SW lead to ensure that we implement a system that is capable yet flexible
