System Engineer I

Overview

Design, test, and optimize nanopore DNA sequencing systems

Key Responsibilities

• process optimization
• data analysis
• instrumentation support
• experimental design
• statistical methods
• cross‑functional collaboration

Tasks

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Coordinate with scientists, engineers, and project managers to align technical results with product development goals. Knowledge Sharing: Train and mentor junior engineers and lab technicians in system operation and analysis methods. Safety & Compliance: Ensure adherence to laboratory safety and documentation standards. Documentation & Communication: Maintain precise electronic lab notebooks and prepare clear, actionable technical reports. Process Optimization: Develop and refine microfluidic device processes, evaluate electrochemical and surface chemistry interactions, and propose performance enhancements. Troubleshooting & Root Cause Analysis: Identify and resolve technical issues related to instruments, devices, reagents, and software. Presentation of Findings: Prepare and deliver technical presentations summarizing results, performance metrics, and future plans to stakeholders. Experimental Design & Execution: Plan, design, and conduct laboratory experiments focused on sequencing system performance and process optimization. Continuous Improvement: Drive innovation through proposing design improvements, automation strategies, and new methodologies for testing and validation. Instrumentation Support: Calibrate, maintain, and troubleshoot system hardware and automation tools to ensure consistent and reliable operation. The Systems Engineer will contribute to the design, execution, and analysis of experiments supporting the development of a single-molecule DNA sequencing platform. This individual will work closely with engineers and scientists across multiple disciplines—systems, biochemistry, electrochemistry, and materials science—to advance next-generation sequencing technologies. Statistical Methods: Apply design of experiments (DOE), process control, and statistical data analysis techniques using tools like JMP or Python. Data Analysis & Reporting: Analyze experimental results and sequencing data to identify trends, issues, and opportunities for system improvement. System Integration: Collaborate with cross-functional teams (mechanical, electrical, and software engineers) to integrate and validate sequencing platform subsystems.
