Lila Sciences
Your Impact at Lila
We're seeking a systems-level engineer to build the software foundation for our AI Science Factory (AISF™). You'll work alongside mechatronics and computer engineers to implement scheduling systems that orchestrate physical lab equipment while managing Windows fleet deployments that power the entire operation. This role is 60% low‑level systems work and 40% watching scheduling algorithms move robots correctly in the real world. One day you'll automate PC deployments, the next you'll implement scheduling algorithms inspired by kernels to coordinate devices. While this role is titled Computer Engineer, we need someone who jumps into any engineering challenge that arises. If you're a jack of all trades now, expect to become an almost master of all trades in the future—we'll push you to grow across the full engineering stack as the team and product evolve.
What You'll Be Building
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
What You’ll Need To Succeed
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
Bonus Points For
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
