Position Summary
We need an engineer who is passionate about microfluidics, bioengineering, and laboratory automation to apply expertise to develop new products and projects.
- He may have worked in single-cell and droplet or micropore environments, building high-throughput customized systems for one or more of the following: NGS analysis, transcriptomics, proteomics, HTS analysis for drug therapy, transduction dyeing methods, etc.
- He can precisely manipulate the cell state in the microenvironment and construct analyses (imaging, physical chemistry, mechanical physics, electric field, etc.) to quantitatively read the cell state and treatment results.
- He has a good understanding of CAD tools, fluid dynamics, and lithography technology, and can optimize prototype designs with Comsol Multiphysics, SimScale, Elmer, OpenFoam, or similar fluid dynamics solvers.
- He may have excellent quantitative skills in data analysis, enjoy close teamwork and a highly interdisciplinary knowledge environment.
- He is proud of designing correct experiments, fundamentally data-driven, and implementing rigorous science to solve mechanical hypotheses.
Main Tasks
- Prove concepts of microfluidic products
- Design, layout, manufacturing, and testing of microfluidic chips
- Use universal scripting language to develop and implement multi-step molecular biology protocols in microfluidic chips on proprietary hardware and software
- Product development process responsibilities will include: system-level test design and development, required interpretation and specification derivation, test method design, data analysis and interpretation, QC program design and transmission, etc.
Qualifications
- Master's degree or above in experimental biophysics/biochemistry/bioengineering, mechanical engineering, experimental physics, electric engineering, material science, fluid dynamics or similar
- Quantitative and programming skills (such as Arduino, Python, C++, Rust, Julia) are highly desirable
- Experience setting up from scratch droplet-based microfluidics and/or lab-on-a-chip systems for high-throughput experimentation and data acquisition.
- Experience with automated microscopy, NGS, proteomics, single-cell transcriptomics is desirable
- Strong foundation in theoretical engineering is highly desirable
