About the role

R&D Engineer II responsible for creating new technologies and devices for high throughput single-cell screening, with end-to-end ownership from concept to prototype, in a hybrid New York, NY setting.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build and test prototypes for point-of-care sample processing, iterating based on performance data and optimizing for reproducibility
  • Design mechanisms for controlled timing and sequencing of biochemical processes within a device (e.g., controlled reagent release, passive valving, or equivalent)
  • Perform hands-on preparation and handling of biological specimens, and conduct assay validation experiments (e.g., timing precision, reagent activity, sample/cell quality at endpoint)
  • Apply domain knowledge across device engineering, cell biology, and materials science to guide hardware design decisions
  • Establish test protocols and acceptance criteria to ensure reproducible performance across prototype iterations and production lots
  • Participate in discussions with project collaborators
  • Carefully document work
  • Clearly report on project progress
  • Contribute to scientific publications and patent applications

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master’s Degree in Engineering (especially biomedical, chemical or mechanical engineering) plus 5+ years of relevant, post-graduate hands-on engineering experience. Holders of non-engineering degrees must have at least 6 years of hands-on engineering experience developing hardware.
  • Track record of developing diagnostic or point-of-care medical devices
  • Experience with handling biological samples
  • Proficiency in CAD
  • Experience with 3D printing and rapid prototyping
  • Ability to independently design rigorous experiments, troubleshoot complex workflows, and drive projects to completion
  • Strong documentation habits
  • Collaborative mindset and strong scientific communication skills
