Bioelectronics & Fabrication Engineer

Melody is an early-stage focused research organization engineering continuous molecular monitoring technology and designing closed-loop interventions for human health. We leverage protein engineering, medical device engineering, and physiology modeling. As a FRO, we uniquely bridge blue-sky science and hardcore manufacturing and pioneer new applications.  We are a nonprofit startup based in Pasadena, founded by scientists and engineers from Janelia and Caltech and incubated by Convergent Research. Our goal is to produce public goods: biosensors, devices, datasets, protocols, and tools that help launch a broader field of real-time molecular medicine. About the role: we are hiring a bioelectronics engineer to build and run our foundry approach which integrates protein biosensor and device engineering. This role is for those who are systems-minded experimentalists and engineers and care about constraints early on that will help make a product work in real world settings. You own the wet side of the interface and, in the early days, you will do whatever the foundry needs most. As the team grows, this role becomes the technical owner of biosensor integration, directing development towards performance in real world settings. You may excel in this role if you enjoy owning science and engineering projects “soup to nuts” (in our case, from protein to in vivo experiments), mapping R&D systems to lab workflows that our team can execute, integrating molecular biology, materials chemistry
