  • Integration & Testing: Develop, optimize, and troubleshoot processes for integrating devices, rigorously testing their compatibility and performance with chemical and biological systems.
  • Experimentation: Design and execute hands-on experiments with an exceptionally high level of attention to detail and data integrity.
  • Collaboration: Work cross-functionally with chemists, biologists, and machine learning engineers to align hardware capabilities with broader system requirements.
Required Qualifications
  • B.S. in an engineering or science discipline (Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Applied Physics, Biomedical Engineering, or a closely related field)
  • Demonstrated ability and comfort in quickly learning new tools, equipment, and experimental workflows.
Preferred Qualifications
  • M.S. or 1+ year of industry experience
  • Hands on experience in a cleanroom environment and familiarity with micro/nanofabrication and characterization techniques
