Company Description
We are a preseed stage biotech startup working in the bioprinting space. We are looking for a Founding Mechanical Engineer to join our engineering team in January and help us develop our novel bioprinting platform. This is an opportunity to be a founding member of a team looking to fundamentally change how transplantation is done - we are looking for someone interested in working on interesting problems, directing their own projects, and expanding their skill set, while working in an exciting if high-pressure environment. Initiative and meticulousness are high on our list of traits we are looking for. We need someone who can build fast and think for themselves.
