of semiconductor devices, circuit design, microfluidic
lab-on-a-chip, genetics, molecular biology or diagnostics
and see a good fit with our company, we'd be happy to
receive a speculative job application from you and see
where that leads.
Entry-level Mechanical Engineer / Microfluidics Designer
You will help design and test microfluidic components and other mechanical components in a hand-held medical device under development. This microfluidic "lab-on-chip" will facilitate handling of biological samples, chemical reactions, and interfacing with a sensor. You may also contribute to the design and testing of miniaturised pumps and valve components such as the product requires, the overall handheld product architecture, as well as the mass-produced, disposable test cartridge. You will communicate, brainstorm, and solve challenges side-by-side with experts in the field of microfluidics as well as teammates from other disciplines (e.g. molecular biologists, electrical engineers, industrial designers, programmers, and doctors). You should have a hands-on, practical, self-motivated approach to your work. Experience with the following areas are desirable but not required: fluid dynamics, Solidworks, rapid prototyping, microstructures, and polymers/injection moulding. Outstanding recent graduates in mechanical engineering (or related fields) with the drive to learn, adapt, and solve problems are strongly encouraged to apply.
Biochemist / Molecular Biologist
You will be responsible for developing reaction chemistry for a cutting-edge, in-vitro diagnostic medical device. Extensive experience with standard molecular biology techniques is required. Experience with DNA chemistry/immobilisation in small reaction volumes is also desirable but not required. You should have an appropriate education qualification such as a PhD in biochemistry, molecular biology, bioengineering, or equivalent in addition to extensive practical experience. You should enjoy communicating, brainstorming, and solving challenges side-by-side with colleagues from other disciplines (e.g. electrical engineering, micro-fluidics).
Senior Microfluidics Designer
You will be responsible for the design and testing of microfluidic lab-on-chip for use in a hand-held medical device under development. It will facilitate sample handling, reactions, and interfacing with a sensor. You should have experience designing microfluidics for quick R&D prototypes as well as familiarity with techniques appropriate for mass-production. Experience with techniques suitable for disposable applications is particularly desirable, as is experience in interfacing microfluidic components to electronic microchips and in handling nucleic acids. You should have the leadership and communication skills to direct external vendors or internal designers if required. You should enjoy brainstorming and solving challenges side-by-side with colleagues from other disciplines (e.g. electronics, biochemistry). You should also have a hands-on, practical, self-motivated approach to your work. A Bachelors or Masters qualification in a relevant discipline and relevant practical experience in the development of microfluidic products are required.
Electrical/Electronic Engineer
You will be responsible for the design and testing of printed circuit boards for a cutting edge, hand-held medical device. You should have experience with PCB design software (e.g. Orcad, Protel, P-CAD, Altium, Mentor Graphics) and a Bachelors or Masters qualification in Electronic Engineering or equivalent. Previous experience in biological or genetic applications is not a requirement. Experience with instrumentation is desirable. You should enjoy communicating, brainstorming, and solving challenges side-by-side with colleagues from other disciplines (e.g. biochemistry, micro-fluidics). You should have a hands-on, practical, self-motivated approach to your work: debugging and proactively overcoming design challenges.
Senior Analogue CMOS Designer
You will be responsible for the design, simulation, layout, and testing of cutting-edge systems-on-chip for a medical device. Sub-modules will include: integrated sensors, analogue instrumentation, and digital interfaces. You will have at least 5 years industry experience in ASIC design, with emphasis on analogue. You should have experience in operating at the system-level of design planning, concept generation, and specification development as well as detailed design. Communication and leadership skills are highly desirable as your job may require supervising both external and internal partners. You should enjoy communicating, brainstorming, and solving challenges side-by-side with colleagues from other disciplines (e.g. biochemistry, micro-fluidics).
Embedded Programmer
You will be responsible for the design of embedded software for a cutting edge, hand-held medical device. You will have significant experience with any current line of microcontrollers and their programming tools/development environments. Experience with the PIC line is particularly desirable, but not prerequisite. You should have a Bachelors or Masters-level qualification in Embedded Software, Computer Engineering, Electronic Engineering or equivalent. Previous experience in biological or genetic applications is not a requirement. You should enjoy communicating, brainstorming, and solving challenges side-by-side with colleagues from other disciplines (e.g. biochemistry, micro-fluidics).
Regulatory/QA Manager
Industry-experienced QA Manager sought to implement QA system for cutting-edge medical device company and manage regulatory interactions. Responsibilities may include implementing a company-wide QA system (e.g. QA manual, SOPs, WIs). Responsibilities will also include project-specific tasks such as Quality Plans, Design History Files (DHF), vendor qualification, clinical trials support, and regulatory submittals (e.g. 510k submittals, CLIA waivers). Experience is desirable with FDA and CE regulations (particularly pertaining to design control, but the full life cycle is relevant), class II medical devices (FDA) and associated 510(k) submittal process, point-of-Care, In-Vitro Diagnostic Devices (IVDD) intended for use outside laboratory environment (e.g. CLIA-waived), and conceiving QA systems, writing SOPs, work instructions, etc... Self-starters welcome and entrepreneurial spirit embraced.
