Job Description- Electro-Mechanical BioEngineer

Seeking an electro-mechanical bioengineer with an emphasis on the bioanalytical experimentation and point of care system testing. This engineer will be part of an interdisciplinary team developing microfluidics-driven next generation immunodiagnostics platform for the point-of-care disease analysis. This individual will be versed in the experimental automation techniques and will execute bio-microfluidics research and development experiments to test and maintain a point of care system having electro-mechanical, optical, fluidics, cartridge, imaging, and immunoassay components. Day-to-day activities for this role will be to maintain the instruments, and work within a highly cross-functional team to iteratively test the new designs for immunoassays, cartridges, instrument modules, and image analysis tools in a microfluidics format. Individuals with strong experience and interests in bioanalytically testing the electro-mechanical instruments, microfluidics and optical systems, microfluidics cartridges, and immunodiagnostics are strongly encouraged to apply.
