  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify and address technical challenges, lead root cause investigations with existing inkjet systems, and implement preventative actions
  • Stay abreast of the latest advancements in biofabrication techniques and biotechnological applications, and incorporate relevant findings into the development process
  • Provide technical expertise and guidance to internal teams, external partners, and stakeholders on inkjet technology
  • Participate in the planning and executing CATALOG's commercialization strategy for building and releasing the first DNA-based Storage platform

We are looking for someone driven by:

  • A desire to learn and grow as an engineer, showcasing a commitment to personal and professional development.
  • The thrill of building groundbreaking technology, indicating a passion for innovation and advancement.
  • Curiosity and a desire to turn novel ideas into a reality, demonstrating your creative thinking and problem-solving skills.

You will also need to be able to:

  • Thrive in a changing but supportive environment, showing adaptability and resilience.
  • Work collaboratively in small, cross-disciplinary teams, demonstrating strong teamwork and interpersonal skills.
  • Plan and execute independently, indicating your initiative and ability to work without constant supervision.

We are looking for someone with:

  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical, Materials Science, or a related field with a focus on inkjet technology, biofabrication, or biotechnology (Masters or PhD strongly preferred)
  • Proven track record with 3+ years of hands-on experience with inkjet technology, preferably in the context of dispensing biological materials
  • Expertise in inkjet printhead operation, fluid dynamics, droplet formation, surface tension effects, and related phenomena, with the ability to apply this knowledge to optimize inkjet dispensing systems.


At CATALOG, we challenge you to think critically, work creatively, and conquer uncharted problems in a groundbreaking field. We believe in building an inclusive team with different points of view. We support and celebrate diversity in our workforce. We offer competitive compensation packages, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) with company matching, and generous PTO.
