The Broad Institute has assembled a really talented and growing team of engineers and data scientists in an effort to accelerate science: https://www.broadinstitute.org/data-sciences-platform https://www.broadinstitute.org/data-sciences-platform (DSP).
They develop open-source platforms that are inspired by and seek to solve problems lived firsthand by collaborators (such as myself) and the greater scientific community.
The Broad has created an environment and provided resources to enable engineers to do great work. The DSP feels like a blend between tech company and academic research institution. The people I've interacted with are technically superb (and also nice).
If you are interested in contributing to the intersection of life science and compute, would strongly recommend you check them out.
This may be off topic if you consider above to not be sufficiently "blue collar", but biomedicine in general (from the entire spectrum of basic science all the way to care delivery) is in dire need of smart computational folks.
