Manufacturing Lab Engineer

6 Month Contract - Manufacturing Lab Engineer

Headquartered in San Francisco, CA, Cytovale is a dynamic, early‑stage commercial company focused on developing a faster, more insightful way to diagnose fast‑moving and immune‑mediated diseases. Cytovale’s Intelli Sep test is pioneering a new way of quickly and accurately analyzing white blood cells to stratify a patient’s risk of sepsis. The test simply determines risk of sepsis using a biomechanical evaluation of white blood cells collected from a standard blood draw, generating results in under 10 minutes.

This gives physicians actionable information when they need it most, allowing them to confidently triage suspected sepsis patients quickly and spend more time with those in greatest need.
