The Opportunity

We are seeking a highly hands-on Research Engineer to lead and execute multidisciplinary experiments at the intersection of physics, engineering, nanotechnology, and biology.

This role is centered on experimental development. You will design experiments, build and operate laboratory systems, coordinate complex studies across multiple teams, and translate experimental results into actionable engineering improvements. You will spend a significant portion of your time in the lab running experiments, troubleshooting systems, collecting data, and working closely with scientists and engineers to advance our technology platform.

The ideal candidate enjoys moving quickly between theory and practice, thrives in a fast-paced startup environment, and is excited about solving difficult problems through experimentation.
