Founding Manufacturing Operator - Advanced Diagnostics

About the Company

SiPhox Health is building a next-generation, silicon-photonics–based blood testing platform that brings advanced clinical diagnostics into the home. Our technology integrates precision optics, microfluidics, and immunoassay chemistry into a compact system capable of generating laboratory-quality biomarker results from a small capillary blood sample. We are expanding our manufacturing operations and are hiring five Founding Manufacturing Operators to help build the production engine behind our cartridge and instrument platform.

This is a hands-on, high-precision role at the intersection of semiconductor technology, microfluidics, and biotechnology.

About the Role

As a Founding Manufacturing Operator, you will not only execute production processes, you will help define them. These first operator hires will help establish production workflows, assembly standards, quality documentation practices, multi-shift operational discipline, and training processes for future team members.

Responsibilities

Microfluidic Cartridge Assembly

• Assemble diagnostic cartridges integrating silicon photonic chips
• Integrate flow cells, seals, adhesives, and precision components
• Perform visual and mechanical inspection of assembled units
• Execute controlled assembly procedures with high repeatability

Reagent Handling & Carousel Loading

• Fill reagent reservoirs and rotating carousels with microliter precision
• Handle biological reagents under controlled lab conditions
• Maintain strict lot traceability and material control
• Prevent contamination through disciplined workspace management

Instrument Operation

• Run cartridges on development and validation instruments
• Execute defined test protocols
• Log, track, and organize performance data
• Identify deviations, troubleshoot basic issues, and escalate appropriately

Process Development & Continuous Improvement

• Provide feedback on SOPs and workflow optimization
• Help refine assembly fixtures and production layout
• Support validation, verification, and scale-up activities
• Contribute to building a disciplined, high-throughput manufacturing culture

Shift Structure & Operational Growth

• To support accelerated development and validation timelines, we are building structured shift coverage.
• Day Shift: ~7:00 AM – 3:30 PM
• Evening Shift: ~3:00 PM – 11:30 PM
• Extended or Weekend Coverage as throughput increases
• Some roles may operate on fixed shifts; others may support flexible coverage during peak periods. Shift differentials may apply.

Qualifications

Required

• Exceptional attention to detail
• Strong fine motor skills and comfort handling small components
• Experience in laboratory, semiconductor, biotech, or medical device environments
• Ability to follow controlled documentation and SOPs rigorously
• Structured and methodical work style

Preferred

• Experience with microfluidics or fluid handling systems
• Experience operating analytical or diagnostic instruments
• Familiarity with GMP, ISO 13485, or regulated environments
• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in engineering, biology, chemistry, or related field

Why Join SiPhox?

• Be part of the founding manufacturing team of a breakthrough diagnostics platform
• Work at the intersection of photonics, microfluidics, and biotechnology
• Help scale a venture-backed company redefining blood testing
• Build expertise in a rare and highly technical manufacturing environment
• Grow with the company as operations expand
• We provide medical, dental and vision insurance benefits
• SiPhox deeply cares about employee's health and provides a fully paid Life Time Gym Membership
