Full-Stack Java Developer - SLIMS Software

Job Description

Agilent is a global leader in laboratory and clinical technologies; we are passionate about bringing great science to life.  Our commitment to quality and innovation supports cutting-edge life science research, patient diagnostics, and ensures the safety of water, food, and pharmaceuticals. As scientists and clinicians pursue small, everyday advances and life-changing discoveries, we provide trusted answers to their most critical questions and challenges. We can’t wait for you to join us as we continue our mission to improve the world around us.  Information about Agilent is available at www.agilent.com. 

SLIMS is a platform that enables tracking of all stages that samples in scientific laboratories follow through to the final result. SLIMS captures information about a sample, requests for measurements, and follows its entire workflow through the lab, supervising manual operating procedures, automated instrument steps, and calculations until the final report.

The focus of the SLIMS Core R&D team is on developing the fundamental modules of the SLIMS platform. The modules developed by the team are subsequently adapted and customized by application engineers to deliver software solutions that can be deployed at customer sites. Want to learn more about SLIMS? Visit Agilent SLIMS for more information and even some videos.

As a Full-Stack Java Developer joining the SLIMS Core R&D team, your focus will both be on the front-end and back-end sides of SLIMS modules.
