Mechanical Design & Prototyping • Design and manufacture test fixtures and prototypes using SolidWorks. • Utilize 3D printing (Resin/FDM), CNC machining, and sheet metal fabrication to accelerate R&D. Consumables & Fluidic Systems Development • Lead development of microfluidic devices and injection-molded consumables, including tooling oversight, material selection (e.g., PSA, overmolding), and biocompatibility considerations. Manufacturing Transfer (NPI) • Drive transfer from R&D to manufacturing, ensuring designs are robust, documented and scalable. • Create and maintain Work Instructions (WI), SOPs, and validation documentation (IQ/OQ/PQ). • Manage Bill of Materials (BOMs) and Engineering Change processes (ECO/ECR) using PDM tools (3DXperience). Automation & Control • Develop automated test frameworks in Python for hardware testing (e.g., leak testing, heat sealing, liquid handling). • Collaborate with the Software team for firmware/software integration and version control (GitHub). Risk & Quality Management • Maintain and manage dFMEA, pFMEA, and risk register ownership. • Conduct root-cause analysis and failure investigations using HAL logs and data analysis. Cross-functional Leadership • Work independently to source materials, manage vendors and contractors, and collaborate with Assay, Software, and Production teams to meet product launch milestones. Essential skills and qualifications  • Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline (Mechanical, Electrical, Optical, or related field). • 5+ years of experience in system integration, hardware development, or complex instrumentation. • Demonstrated experience in testing and integrating systems containing automated liquid handlers, fluidic consumables and high-precision instrumentation. • Deep understanding of fluid dynamics as well as fluidic components, including peristaltic/syringe pumps, solenoid valves, sensors (pressure/flow), and connectors. • Proficiency in 3D CAD for part/assembly design, detailed drawings, and design iteration. • Experience with SolidWorks is strongly preferred, particularly for complex assemblies, production ready drawings, and Product Data Management (PDM) workflows. • Proficiency in Python for test automation and data analysis (Excel/Custom scripts). • Experience developing test methods and executing system-level verification and validation. • Solid understanding of various manufacturing methods, specifically injection molding, assembly, and quality control (e.g., First Article Inspection). • Familiarity with full product development processes (concept to launch) and rigorous technical documentation standards. Preferred skills and qualifications • Hands-on wet lab experience, with familiarity in biological workflows or assay development. • Experience with embedded systems (e.g., STM32) and integration of PCB-based hardware and firmware. • Knowledge of super-resolution microscopy, optics, and imaging subsystems. • Working knowledge of electronics design tools (e.g., Altium Designer, KiCAD) and hands-on skills such as soldering, and custom cabling. • Experience with sterilization methods (e.g., Gamma, EtO) and materials used in biomedical consumables. • Familiarity with pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA), overmolding, or microfluidic device fabrication.
