Nick Conway is a Director of Software Engineering with 15 years of multidisciplinary experience designing complex instruments, embedded systems, and cloud infrastructure for biotech and applied science. He has led cross-functional teams from prototyping to productization—most notably driving software and instrument development at ReadCoor that contributed to a $350M acquisition by 10x Genomics. Comfortable toggling between low-level embedded real-time code, optical and power electronics, and AWS-backed analysis pipelines, he blends hands-on engineering with operational leadership. His background at Wyss Institute and MIT Lincoln Lab reflects deep experience in opto-mechanical systems and biosensor platforms. As a consultant and director he has built engineering practices—document control, pre-commit workflows, and project governance—that scale hardware-software organizations. Based in Belmont, MA, he brings a practical systems-thinking approach that helps teams ship reproducible, auditable science instruments.
