Please post to the Design Division Job list.
The GNF Engineering Department is dedicated to the rapid conception,
design, construction, and validation of advanced, high throughput automated
biological discovery systems. Our mission is to amplify the capabilities
and throughput of GNF s researchers by many orders of magnitude, enabling
them to think outside the box in addressing the scientific challenges that
inspire them. It is our goal to become the gold standard of automated
scientific instruments, and the technology we create is also geared for
manufacture and sale to outside organizations.
We are looking for a highly talented and motivated engineer to design,
specify, and build mechanical and electromechanical systems for automating
advanced laboratory processes. Specifically, the position will include
system level as well as component level design responsibilities. This
position will be an integral part of an extremely talented,
multi-disciplined design team. The design team utilizes CAD/CAM and fast
prototyping methods extensively to minimize overall development time.
Responsibilities:
" Conceptualize and design machines used to enhance GNF s drug discovery
efforts.
" Learn and understand the automation and machinery needs of GNF scientists.
" Build and test electromechanical devices used for drug discovery.
" Coordinate engineers, machinists and scientists to develop prototypes as
quickly as possible.
" Improve and refine designs based on the results of prototyping and testing.
" Carry refined designs thru manufacturing and production.
Requirements:
" B.S. or M.S. in mechanical engineering or related
" Good understanding of the design, build, and test process
" Excellent mechanical intuition
" Experience with 3-D CAD
" Experience with a structured computer programming language
" Demonstrated interest in mechanical systems or design beyond classroom
experiences(e.g. mechanical related hobbies, student clubs, internships, etc.)
