Systems Engineer I/II

Job DescriptionJob DescriptionDescription:

INTEGRA Microfluidics uses proprietary microfluidics technology to automate and miniaturize the most complex genomic protocols such as NGS library prep, synthetic biology, genome editing, and combinatorial chemistry in a compact, user-friendly system. Our vision is to make the most complex protocols easy and accessible to scientists.

INTEGRA Microfluidics is seeking a highly motivated, hands-on Systems Engineer I/II to join our team and work on next- sequencing (NGS) and microfluidics projects. The successful candidate will work closely with senior engineers and scientists to develop and optimize novel microfluidic-based systems for various applications.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams of engineers and scientists to design, develop, and optimize microfluidic devices and workflows for next- sequencing (NGS), PCR, and other molecular biology applications
• Plan and execute experiments to evaluate system and assay performance, with a focus on sample preparation, fluidic control, and thermal processing
• Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues across hardware, software, and assay interfaces to ensure consistent and reliable results
• Analyze experimental data using statistical and computational tools; clearly communicate findings through technical reports and presentations
• Develop, test, and implement automation scripts to streamline microfluidic workflows and prototype operations
• Translate validated experimental procedures into standardized operating procedures (SOPs) for reproducibility and cross-team use
• Stay up to date with advancements in NGS, microfluidics, and laboratory automation, and apply new insights to improve system capabilities
• Contribute actively to a collaborative and innovative team environment through effective communication and knowledge sharing

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 1–3+ years of relevant industry experience in systems integration, test engineering, or quality assurance, preferably within hardware/software product development environments.
• Strong foundational knowledge of next- sequencing (NGS) sample preparation, PCR, DNA/RNA extraction, and automated liquid handling systems.
• Demonstrated ability to design and execute experiments for evaluating system-level performance and diagnosing complex technical issues.
• Proficient in developing and executing test protocols, analyzing experimental data, and maintaining comprehensive technical documentation.
• Excellent organizational and communication skills, with a proven track record of effectiveness in fast-paced, cross-functional team settings.

Highly Qualifications:

• Hands-on experience with nucleic acid handling and familiarity with quantification and quality control (QC) methodologies.
• Proficiency in standard molecular biology techniques, including PCR.
• Working knowledge of next- sequencing technologies, sample preparation workflows, and microfluidic systems.
