Computer Engineer I/II
Lila Sciences is the world’s first scientific superintelligence platform and autonomous lab for life, chemistry, and materials science. The role involves building software systems for lab automation, managing Windows deployments, and collaborating across engineering disciplines.
Responsibilities
- Build scheduling systems that orchestrate lab automation equipment using OS-level concepts
- Manage Windows fleet deployments—imaging, automation, maintenance of the PCs that run the lab
- Debug low-level systems problems that affect the entire operation—you dig deep when Google doesn't have answers
- Write PowerShell automation that makes the team more productive
- Collaborate across the stack—from OS internals to real robots moving in physical space
Skills
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field (recent grads welcome)
- Understanding of some operating systems concepts: scheduling, processes, concurrency, resource allocation
- Proficiency with PowerShell scripting (non-negotiable—until we change the world we live here.)
- Ability to debug problems methodically when documentation doesn't exist
- Self-motivated team player who values collaboration and building genuine relationships with colleagues
- PowerShell: Writing scripts, automation, Windows APIs, cmdlets, pipelines—fluency required
- Windows Fundamentals: User management, services, registry, Event Viewer, debugging boot failures
- OS Concepts: Process scheduling, threading, resource allocation, deadlocks (your OS course material, applied)
- Scripting/Programming: Python, C/C++, or similar for automation and tool building
- Version Control & Debugging: Git basics plus isolating problems, reading error messages, effective logging
Benefits
- Bonus potential
- Generous early equity
