About The Position

Hesperos is seeking an experienced individual for a hands-on role to develop technical signal analysis algorithms, software, and hardware systems and interfaces for use with Hesperos' Human-on-a-Chip microphysiological systems (MPS). Reporting to the Director of Automation and Engineering, the successful candidate will be responsible for leading technical projects supervising other technical personnel, operating as an individual contributor, and collaborating across disciplines. The ideal candidate will possess exceptional communication and organizational skills, have a solid understanding of a range of engineering techniques and tools (and the applicability to preclinical testing), and be comfortable juggling multiple assignments in an agile working environment. Hesperos, Inc. is a recognized leader in the MPS, organ-on-a-chip, arena; we operate as a preclinical contract research organization (CRO) helping our biopharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries clients accelerate their product development programs in a capital efficient manner by providing results that often cannot be gleaned from conventional animal testing. Hesperos is a staunch supporter of the global '3-R' initiative to Replace, Reduce and Refine the use of animals for biopharmaceutical testing; instead, we use human-derived cells to provide more meaningful, translatable clinically meaningful insights. Hesperos' Human-on-a-Chip, multi-organ, in vitro, platform systems replicate the functional aspects of human physiology by providing unprecedented visibility into how the human body will respond to a variety of agents from the efficacy, safety (including pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic) standpoints.

Requirements

  • Minimum of a bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering discipline with 5+ years of engineering experience, an advanced degree is preferred (a doctorate is a plus).

Nice To Haves

  • Direct experience in automation, analytical/scientific interface development, scientific instrument design and engineering, and/or robotic system development.
  • Experience in biopharmaceutical, cosmetic and/or nutraceutical (preclinical) product development is a plus.

Responsibilities

  • Contribute to software/hardware development for biological interfaces including real-time, high-content small signal instrumentation and custom imaging/video systems.
  • Identify, support, and/or lead implementation and subsequent maintenance, improvements, and upgrades to hardware and software systems as well as troubleshoot to identify root causes of problematic technical and process issues.
  • Work closely with experimentalists in the laboratory to establish needs and develop new techniques, improve existing capabilities and stay apprised of new technologies.
  • Assist with collection and interpretation and presentation (including talks, publications) of data.
  • Adhere to laboratory safety guidelines.
  • Develop, maintain and periodically SOPs.
