About SiPhox Health

At-Home health monitoring with silicon photonic chips for data centers

Tech

We are developing a new paradigm for consumer health tech wearables by replacing a 100lb optical instrument with an area of silicon smaller than a postage stamp.

The role

# **About us**SiPhox Health is building a first-of-its-kind consumer diagnostics platform that brings complex biochemical analyses into the home through integrated silicon photonics, microfluidics, embedded systems, and advanced assay development. Our chip-based solution integrates state-of-the-art biochemistry, photonics, electronics, and microfluidics to deliver the power of large laboratory instruments in a portable device.# **The role**You will be hands on designing and building the first of its kind home testing system. This person will directly own key parts of the system, with a wide scope to have an impact. You will work closely with the production teams to create systems that are elegant to use, but also manufacturable at scale.### **Responsibilities*** Lead mechanical designs for defined subsystems of medical and diagnostic devices, ensuring functionality, reliability, and manufacturability* Design and review parts and assemblies optimized for high-volume injection molding and automated assembly methods* Apply rapid prototyping techniques to accelerate product development and iteration, with minimal guidance* Plan and execute engineering tests to validate designs and improve performance* Create and review detailed design specifications, including 3D and 2D MCAD models following ASME Y14.5 or ISO 8015 standards* Closely collaborate with cross-functional teams, including manufacturing engineers and scientists, often owning the mechanical side of complex technical challenges* Lead root cause analysis and drive design or process changes to enhance product quality and performance* Own system design, system and sub-system requirements and verification plans for your subsystems* Mentor Mechanical Design Engineers on MCAD practices, DFM/DFA, and design-verification approach* Review other engineers' designs and drawings for manufacturability and compliance with design standards* Take a leading role in supplier and vendor conversations for the components/subsystems you own### **What we’re looking for*** Deep knowledge of the challenges of scaling products from prototype to high volume production* Real experience working with pilot and full volume production systems, implementing quality controls and maximizing the product’s quality and yield* Excellent knowledge of injection molding design, including tolerance studies* Excellent knowledge of mechanical assembly techniques, including ultrasonic welding, laser welding, clip design and adhesives* Creative problem solver* Expert MCAD user### **Nice to have*** Demonstrated ability to design mechanical mechanisms, from concepting through to volume production* Experience in medical devices, or with ISO 13485, ISO 14971, or other design controls process* Experience working at a manufacturing site, as a process, test or tool engineer* Optics, photonics, fluidics, or microfluidics exposure* Experience in SolidWorks and OnShape# **Employment Details****Department:** Product Engineering**Work location:** Burlington, MA (on-site), with some travel to manufacturing sites in the US, Europe and Asia. Trips typically for 1-2 weeks in duration as required.**Salary Range:** $100,000 – $200,000 (depending on experience)### **Benefits:*** 401K* Health Insurance* Dental Insurance* Vision Insurance* Health Savings Account* Health Flexible Savings Account* Dependent Care Flexible Savings Account* Life Insurance* Paid Time Off* Parental Leave* Long Term Disability * Equity* Gym Membership (Lifetime Fitness — one block from the office)### **Physical Requirements*** Ability to lift up to 20 pounds.* Ability to do dexterous tasks with hands, e.g. manual assembly with small tools, soldering* This role involves physical activity and routine handling of chemicals. Candidates must adhere to all laboratory safety protocols and be comfortable using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).### **Who Thrives Here**This role is a strong fit for someone who takes ownership without being asked, is energized by variety rather than routine. They are highly motivated by SiPhox’s mission.### **Why Join SiPhox Health*** Help bring a first-of-its-kind at-home diagnostics platform to market.* Work alongside multidisciplinary engineering and scientific teams solving complex technical challenges.* Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits (including Lifetime Fitness membership).### **Equal Opportunity Employer**SiPhox Health is an equal opportunity employer committed to building an inclusive workplace. Applicants of all backgrounds and experiences are encouraged to apply.
