Staff Biomedical Engineer - Sample Prep Consumable
As a Staff Biomedical Engineer, you will complete the development of the sample prep method and consumable prototype and transition the method and consumable into market-ready manufacturing. In joining our team, you will be working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, microfluidics, clinical microbiology, and engineering to help hospitals combat antibiotic resistance. Flexibility is key. In this role, you will play an integral part in advancing our novel technology and developing a best in class diagnostic device.
How You Will Contribute
- Complete sample preparation method development in the lab.
- Guide the sourcing, procurement, and implementation of the sample prep consumable.
- Perform Verification and Validation testing for the sample prep consumable.
- Manage the development of the manufacturing process of the sample prep consumable.
- Manage, capture, and review critical data: accurately and consistently recording experimental methods, materials, and results.
- Conceive and conduct independent experimentation from project inception through product launch.
- Analyze data, form conclusions, and determine future experimental plans.
- Recommend expansion or curtailment of activities based on the latest information.
- Perform work in a BSL-2 laboratory including processing clinical specimens and bacterial culture propagation and maintenance.
- Assume responsibility for timely completion of projects, consistent with the project critical path.
- Effectively adjust to changing priorities.
