• What technologies do you use?
  Answer: We use new technologies as they fit our development needs, and we like learning new tools. We were early adopters of Delphi and Microsoft COM and have used them in multiple projects. We also adopted C# and the .NET CLR early for new development and are using them to deploy both small and large products. Our database-oriented solutions use Microsoft SQL Server. Finally, some of our products use Chez Scheme (a dialect of LISP) for especially demanding algorithmic problems like scheduling and robust device control.

• Why do you want me to apply at your corporate web site?
  Answer: Beckman Coulter does business with the United States federal government. We must therefore comply with equal employment opportunity laws, and we must report application and hiring data to demonstrate compliance. Our HR department is asking that we kindly send all applicants to the corporate site to simplify the reporting.
