The Carnegie Mellon Cloud Lab (CMU Cloud Lab) is the world's first academic Cloud Lab offering a 24/7/365 remote-access facility with over 200 scientific instruments.
Based on the concept pioneered by two CMU alumni through their company, Emerald Cloud Lab (ECL), the CMU Cloud Lab is located in Pittsburgh in the Bakery Square neighborhood in close proximity to CMU's main campus. The Carnegie Mellon Cloud Lab is powered by the same software running ECL's facility in Austin, TX, making all operations executable in either facility.
The CMU Cloud Lab provides researchers full control over laboratory processes, data inputs, outputs and sharing. All processes are fully traceable, end-to-end, and enhanced with auxiliary sensor data and sample/asset tracing, creating rich and comprehensive datasets that researchers can investigate and learn from using thousands of powerful functions for data visualization, analysis, and simulations.
Overview
Emerald Cloud Lab's (ECL) mission is to improve the quality, speed, and accessibility of scientific research. Our system empowers scientists by allowing them to run wet lab experiments anywhere in the world without ever stepping foot into the lab.
For this new Cloud lab facility at Carnegie Mellon University, we are recruiting a Laboratory Development Engineer (Lab Dev) looking to explore opportunities in the biotech space and grow with our organization. This on-site full-time position is available at the CMU Cloud Lab in Pittsburgh, PA.
Lab Devs interface with members of other teams at the CMU Cloud Lab and at ECL to engineer solutions in experimental development, improve workflow efficiency and robustness in experimental processes and day-to-day operations, and implement the functional capabilities of the laboratory. This position emphasizes interest in the "maker movement" and involves both hardware and software development of small-scale and larger, lab-wide systems.
