Job Description
This is a hybrid role in Little Fall, DE
At Agilent, we inspire and support discoveries that advance the quality of life by equipping laboratories worldwide with the instruments, software, consumables, and expertise they need to do their best work. This R&D Software/Firmware Engineer role is central to that mission—your embedded software will power the next generation of Agilent's Gas Chromatography and sample-handling products that scientists rely on to solve some of the world's most important analytical challenges.
As a Software/Firmware Engineer in our R&D group, you will help design and develop new products for Agilent's Gas Chromatograph, Automated Sample Handling, and Automated Sample Preparation lines. You will own requirements, design, development, and test for embedded software applications, libraries, and tools, and collaborate closely with software, firmware, mechanical, and electrical engineers—as well as chemists—to build complete systems.
In this role, you will:
- Gather requirements, then design, develop, and test embedded software applications, libraries, and tools.
- Deliver real-time control of hardware and embedded systems.
- Partner with cross-functional engineering and chemistry teams to integrate software into complete products.
