  • Conduct design reviews and present fresh ideas, new technologies, and creative solutions to design problems
  • Define subsystem architecture
  • Show proof of concept through rapid prototyping
  • Ability to extract design requirements from a broad spectrum of user needs
  • Identify potential design risks and provide a path to derisk/pivot rapidly
  • Work closely with the scientific team through the creation of verification /validation protocols (IQ, OQ, PQ) and successful execution, data generation, report and documentation
  • Create comprehensive work instructions and manufacturing SOPs as needed for finished designs

  • BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or equivalent experience
  • 10+ years of extensive, hands-on experience in biotech automation, semiconductor, or similar industries
