  • 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.
