Senior Hardware Design Engineer

InSyte Bio Position Description

Nearly 1 in 3 cancer surgeries leave cells behind, doubling the rate that cancer returns. InSyte Bio’s mission is to eliminate the recurrence by ensuring removal of all cancer cells during surgery. We have developed a surgical imaging system that can detect cancer cells 10,000 times more precisely than existing solutions in real-time, during surgery, enabling surgeons and oncologists to effectively combat the spread of cancer. The system integrates advances in chip design, microfabricated optics, and pharmaceutical chemistry to create a fusion of molecular imaging agents and advanced imager design.

• Opportunity
• To solve one of the biggest problems in cancer - that surgery, essential to curing cancer, often fails because surgeons cannot identify every tumor.
• To become a leader, across a team of engineers, surgeons, chemical biologists to create a state of the art platform to guide cancer surgery.
• Growth - become an essential member, with both a significant role and equity stake in the growth of a new and innovative company
• Exposure to business development

Skill Set

• Degree (BS/BA with experience in Lab/research setting or MS, PhD, ScD) in Physics, Engineering (Electrical, EECS, ECE, Bioengineering, Mechanical Engineering) or closely related fields
• Hands-on laboratory experience is required. Let us know what you have made, and what problems you had to solve to get your device/system/chip working.
• Expertise in device packaging
• Ideally with special attention/experience in biomedical devices
• Assembly of optical and electronic devices
• 3D CAD design (experience with AutoCAD, SolidWorks)
• Capable of design of device optimized for size (eg for eventual use in minimally invasive surgeries), durability, mechanical stability.
• Passionate to learn and explore new domains, such as object tracking algorithms, materials for surgical devices/packaging.
• Familiarity with assembly of electronics. Comfortability with FPGA, PC Board design, board-level assembly (e.g. integration of components spanning analog to digital, including amplifiers, and ADCs.)
• Desire to work with optics, and integration of optics and electronics. Ideally also has experience working with integrated optics.
• Ability to work with biological/fluidic samples (experience preferred but not required) such as tissue samples.
• Works well in a team, adaptable with respect to project tasks
• Organized as you will need to keep track of multiple stakeholders in bringing together the product.
