ABOUT AVAILS:
Avails Medical, Inc., is a well-funded medical device start-up based in Menlo Park, California. We are a leader in the development of rapid, automated and fully electrical antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) technologies with our products eQUANT™ and eAST™ platforms based on a novel bio-sensor for rapid infectious disease detection. In 2024, we have announced 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for our groundbreaking eQUANT™ system. The eQUANT™ system is a leap forward in combating antibiotic resistance, providing a standardized inoculum (0.5 McFarland equivalent) directly from positive blood cultures.
We are dedicated in our drive to make rapid AST accessible and affordable to hospital microbiology labs, empowering them to provide actionable infectious disease treatment information with simplified laboratory workflows to save lives, reduce outcome costs and reduce the threat of global antimicrobial resistance.
The R&D Laboratory Technician will play a key role within the R&D team assisting with new feature/product development as well as improving processes and metrics for our FDA cleared product. This role will have the opportunity to help drive innovation at Avails Medical and be a part of both our first product launch and additional products which are part of our pipeline. The successful candidate will utilize hands-on experimental and analytical skills to support R&D, product development as well as root cause analysis efforts, while interfacing with an interdisciplinary team of electrical, mechanical and software engineers as well as data scientists and microbiologists.
