Overview: Join a growing U.S. biotechnology organization that supports a federal initiative in next-generation RNA medicine manufacturing. In this role, you will serve as the design authority for the machine hardware and lead designer for the highest-risk mechanical subsystems.
Responsibilities
• The preliminary system design: block diagram, machine layout, modularisation and integration strategy.
• Detailed design of the system subsystems as scoped and defined by the team, including interfaces, fluid flow management, actuation mechanisms, force and displacement profiles, materials compatibility.
• Detailed design of automated liquid and sample handling: bulk reagent routing, sample presentation to analytical interfaces, product management from transcription and encapsulation through to fill-finish handoff, with aseptic continuity across every fluid-path boundary.
• The consolidated engineering design package: CAD models, 2D manufacturing drawings, bill of materials, assembly plans, and the embedded risk register.
• Fabrication, assembly, and verification of the subsystems you designed.
Requirements
• BS or MS in mechanical, mechatronic, or biomedical engineering.
• Ten or more years designing precision electromechanical instruments or automated production equipment, with at least five as lead or principal designer on products that reached build and qualification.
• Expert CAD, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, tolerance stack-up analysis, materials selection for fluid contact and biocompatibility, and design for manufacture and assembly.
• Deep practical experience of precision fluid handling: pumps, valves, manifolds, tubing sets, connectors, seals, dead-volume and carryover control.
• A portfolio of machines that were built, not only drawn.
