Support preclinical studies by preparing devices, fixtures, and test equipment and assisting with engineering activities before, during, and after studies.
Maintain the engineering prototyping workshop, including organization, equipment maintenance, consumable inventory, calibration coordination, and implementation of safe operating practices.
Operate and maintain laboratory and prototyping equipment, including 3D printers, CNC machines, laser cutters, microscopes, and other engineering equipment.
Identify opportunities to improve prototype fabrication methods, laboratory organization, engineering workflows, and testing efficiency.
Collaborate with Engineering, Operations, Quality, and external vendors to support successful product development activities.
Support aseptic manufacturing activities for preclinical and clinical builds, including material preparation, equipment setup, process execution, and adherence to cleanroom and contamination control procedures.
Assist the R&D team with broader company objectives and projects as they come up.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's or Associate's degree in Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related engineering discipline
0–2 years of engineering experience (internships, undergraduate research, or co-op experience encouraged)
Experience with CAD software (Fusion360 preferred)
Familiarity with engineering drawings and mechanical design principles
Experience with 3D printing, machining, fabrication, or other hands-on engineering projects
Strong mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting skills
Experience designing and conducting laboratory or engineering experiments
Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced startup environment
Ability to work on‑site in laboratory and controlled manufacturing environments, including standing for extended periods, performing hands‑on benchtop work, using PPE/cleanroom gowning as required, and lifting to 25 lbs.
