About the role

This role is for those who are systems-minded experimentalists and engineers and care about constraints early on that will help make a product work in real world settings.
As the team grows, this role becomes the technical owner of biosensor integration, directing development towards performance in real world settings.
Synthesize or adapt materials for bioelectronics interfaces.

Lead Melody's wetware integration strategy across biosensor proteins, surface chemistry, hydrogels, membranes, and readout hardware.
In 6 months - design a novel biosensing scheme (e.g., highly multiplexed readout) and test on the benchtop.
You own the wet side of the interface and, in the early days, you will do whatever the foundry needs most.
Design diagnostic experiments that distinguish biosensor failure from immobilization failure, hydrogel diffusion limits, biofluid matrix effects, optical artifacts, electrochemical artifacts, fouling, drift, or hardware noise.
Execute directed evolution workflows and guide protein design based on these results.

PhD in a relevant science and engineering field with demonstrated strong independent ideation and execution or BS/MS with extensive industry experience (> 5 years).

Ability to write custom scripts for data analysis and interfacing with lab instruments.
Conceptual command of the electronic nose field.
2+ years of team management and mentoring experience.
