• System Integration: Collaborate with mechanical, software, electronics, and biotechnology teams to ensure compatibility and seamless integration of fluidic modules into the larger platform.
• Testing & Reporting: Architect test benches for fluidic workflows, log and analyze data, and document results to ensure traceability and continuous improvement.

Desired candidate characteristics:

Education: Bachelor's or Master's Degree in physics with fluidics, mechanics and material science, or equivalent, ideally including biophysics.

Experience:

• 5+ years of experience architecting, designing and operating fluidics systems, ideally in biotech, medtech, diagnostics, lab automation, or chemical engineering, for commercially‑deployed products.
• Strong exposure in fluid containment, sealing, tolerancing, cross‑contamination.
• Understands materials and cleanliness design for wet environments.
• Comfortable with automation and embedded control.
  
• Experience moving from manual protocols to automated systems.

Skills:

• Excellent creativity and problem‑solving skills with a focus on identifying and implementing effective solutions. You thrive in solving complex problems and love the challenge of ensuring system functions as intended, identifying issues before they become bottlenecks or failures.
• Ability to identify and leverage both proven off-the-shelf solutions and innovative approaches— from process simplification to breakthrough technologies — to accelerate development and reduce costs.
• Familiar with test planning, failure analysis, and traceable documentation.
• Comfortable working with multiple teams to understand requirements, build test plans, and execute projects in an evolutive environment. You're comfortable in a fast‑paced startup environment, working across various teams to ensure all elements of the system are validated and performing well together.
