Biomedical Engineer, Level II/III

About You

• You are experienced in software development for neuronal and/or cardiac signal analysis and developing algorithms, software, and interfaces.
• You are conscientious and pay almost obsessive attention to detail, as organized documentation is second nature. 
• You are curious, love learning and are eager to take on hard problems. No task is too big or too small. 
• You thrive in a fast-paced environment and enjoy pushing the edge of what is possible. 
• You are resourceful, flexible, and adaptable to changing challenges and opportunities. 
• You like to work independently, but enjoy team interaction, sharing expertise and experience. 
• You find large challenges exciting and enjoy discovering and solving problems. 
• You are a cross-disciplinary team member, who is excited to work with and learn from other engineers, biologists, chemists, modelers and experimentalists. You are comfortable communicating across teams.
• You deliver. You know that what matters is delivering a solution that works every time.

What You’ll Do

• Contribute to software/hardware development for biological interfaces, from real-time high content small signal instrumentation and custom image/video systems.
• Identify, support, and/or lead implementation of engineering based improvements or upgrades to the equipment or facility systems. 
• Take ownership and maintain software and hardware during experiments.
• Work closely with experimentalists in the laboratory to establish needs and develop new techniques.
• Work with scientists to collect and interpret data from proprietary Hesperos’ developed software and hardware for multiple drug discovery efforts.
• Ensure that all safety guidelines are followed strictly and maintain a clean and orderly environment.
• Keep detailed and organized records of experimental protocols and results.
• Present findings and data analysis in research meetings.
• Provide troubleshooting, including leading and/or supporting technical root cause analysis to reduce production downtime.
• Support new product/technology introductions by performing engineering assessments, implementing equipment modifications, and supporting engineering evaluations.
• Ensure systems are installed and operating safety and comply with pertinent environmental health/safety practice, rules and regulations
• Develop and maintain SOPs
• Ensure that all safety guidelines are followed strictly at all times and maintain a clean and orderly environment
