Work on first-of-its-kind wearable biosensing technology, solve unsolved engineering problems, and see your work move rapidly from concept to real-world impact.
We’re building the world’s first continuous, needle-free hormone monitor.
This is a hard, deeply interdisciplinary engineering problem, and we’re looking for someone who wants to be a part of the team to solve it.
What you will do:
- Design and optimize microfluidic systems for sweat sampling in real-world conditions
- Engineer the sensor stack from skin interface to signal
- Run rapid experimental cycles to validate performance and durability
- Design for manufacturability from day one
- Work closely with science, electrical, and product teams
What we want:
- 5+ years in advanced microfluidics for sensing platforms
- Strong mechanical design and CAD fluency
- Experience with wearable microfluidics (sweat biofluid, and iontophoresis experience is a bonus)
- Evidence of execution: shipped products, patents, or breakthrough work
- Familiar with electrochemical sensing modalities (SWV, EIS, CV, etc.)
- Familiar with Aptamer-based sensing
What we offer:
- Real technical ownership and influence over core product architecture
- Meaningful equity in a venture-backed company
- The opportunity to build technology that will ship, scale, and change how people understand their health
- A fast-moving, deeply interdisciplinary environment with scientists, engineers, and founders working side-by-side
- Tight experimental cycles and a culture focused on execution and learning
We invest in our team's health
- Medical and dental insurance
- 401(k) matching
- Gym and wellness subsidies
- Wearable devices and health tools
