I did similar work at a neurosciences lab, my work was usually building experiments at large (think html5, android games that were actual experiments), building infrastructure, connecting some kind of sensor to a computer and saving the data, guiding bachelors students with their final project that required some kind of programming, not very different from my usual work but with a lot of emphasis in reproducibility and log about every single metric that you can track that may be of the interest of the scientist.
