The Position

Are you ready to create something that makes a real difference in people’s lives, rather than just a cool widget for the next internet startup?  What about creating tools that enable scientists and engineers to optimize cutting edge biochemical manufacturing processes that produce live-saving medicines for cancer and other unmet medical needs?
