Manufacturing & Prototyping Technician

BecomingSan Francisco, CA
Onsite

About The Position

Becoming is building Developmental Intelligence: AI for predicting how organisms change over time. Developmental Intelligence is intelligence in motion. Most experimental systems fail when metabolic demands become too high. We are building systems that don’t — combining engineered metabolic environments, longitudinal measurement, and predictive models to turn development into something that can be understood, tested, and controlled. This is frontier tech with real stakes. We value speed, rigor, integrity, and ownership. We are seeking a Manufacturing & Prototyping Technician to support fabrication, assembly, sterilization, and experimental system setup for custom biological devices and bioreactor platforms. This is a highly hands-on role involving rapid prototyping, precision assembly, aseptic workflows, and experimental hardware setup. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, reliable, and comfortable working across fabrication tools, fluidic systems, and biological lab environments.

Requirements

  • Experience with 3D printing and/or laser cutting
  • Strong hands-on fabrication and assembly skills
  • Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills
  • Strong aseptic technique and clean handling practices
  • Comfortable performing repetitive precision tasks with consistency
  • Ability to follow SOPs precisely
  • Reliable, proactive, and able to work independently in a fast-paced environment

Responsibilities

  • Manufacture and assemble custom devices using 3D printing, laser cutting, and hand assembly and finishing.
  • Perform post-processing of fabricated parts including cleaning, curing, polishing, deburring, bonding, and inspection.
  • Assemble sterile fluidic and biological systems.
  • Support setup, preparation, and maintenance of experimental bioreactor systems.
  • Prepare tubing, fittings, pumps, and experimental assemblies for biological experiments.
  • Maintain strong aseptic technique during assembly and handling of components.
  • Sterilize, package, label, and organize components and consumables.
  • Execute SOPs consistently and document manufacturing steps clearly.
  • Perform quality control inspections and identify defects or inconsistencies.
  • Support inventory management, organization, and lab operations.
  • Work closely with engineers and scientists to rapidly iterate on prototypes and manufacturing workflows.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and meaningful equity
  • Full benefits
  • High-trust, high-ownership environment
  • The opportunity to define a new scientific category from the ground up
