Until complex genomic testing is widely accessible, the promise of
precision medicine is not achievable. The BioCeryx mission is to make
molecular diagnostics accessible and affordable. Our novel
proprietary microfluidic platform enables sample-to-answer automated
nucleic acid analysis from any human sample. We are backed by
leading healthcare investors and offer a dynamic start-up environment
with a close-knit team of highly-skilled and energetic colleagues. We
are looking for people who are inspired to push the boundaries of
genomic medicine. BioCeryx is founder-led, and we strive to hire
people who excel at identifying problems and take the initiative to
find solutions.
Position summary
This position offers the opportunity to design and develop the
microfluidic consumable component of an automated diagnostic
platform. As a mechanical engineer, you will collaborate with a
cross-functional close-knit team to adapt a working prototype for a
new application and transform that prototype into a commercial
product. The ideal candidate would have a solid understanding of
microfluidics, fluid mechanics, and pneumatically controlled devices.
Responsibilities
* Design, fabricate, and test new fluidic components with input from
biological assay and hardware team members.
* Plan and execute experiments that guide design decisions for the consumable.
* Create CAD models.
* Draft engineering drawings to interface with contract manufacturers.
Preferred Qualifications
* MS in Mechanical Engineering or Bio-engineering or equivalent work
experience.
* Knowledge of microfluidics and fluid mechanics.
* Proficiency in SolidWorks.
* Hands-on experience fabricating laminated fluidic devices is a plus.
* Experience designing injection-molded parts is a plus.
Compensation and Benefits
We offer a competitive compensation package including a start-up
equity component and excellent benefits. You'll love a challenging
and fluid work environment, exceptional colleagues, and the ability
to make a difference. Benefits include medical, dental, vision. Our
Menlo Park office is centrally located and within walking distance
from Caltrain.
