Job description

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.

You’ll work hands‑on alongside our engineering teams to bring up, build, and test our systems. No two days will look the same. One day you’re assembling an electro‑mechanical instrument, the next you’re chasing down the root cause of an intermittent fault or installing new manufacturing equipment on the production floor. We’re looking for someone who doesn’t wait to be told what’s broken—you’ll spot issues early, dig into them, and propose the fix.

This is a role for a builder who takes pride in craftsmanship and wants ownership over the systems they touch.

Key Responsibilities

• Assemble electro‑mechanical systems from components through to functional units.
• Rework and repair PCBAs, including component‑level soldering and modification.
• Build and rework wiring harnesses to spec.
• Lead root‑cause investigations on faulty systems and carry them through to repair.
• Install, set up, and support manufacturing equipment.
• Partner closely with hardware, mechanical, and software engineers to bring up and validate new systems.
• Proactively identify problems and propose resolutions using your own judgment.

What We’re Looking For

Must Have

• Hands‑on experience assembling electro‑mechanical systems.
• Proficiency in PCBA rework and component‑level soldering (IPC‑A‑610 / J‑STD‑001 familiarity a plus).
• Can create basic documentation for work instructions, corrective actions, maintenance logs, etc.
• Experience building and reworking wiring harnesses.
• Strong troubleshooting instincts—you can isolate a fault across mechanical, electrical, and software boundaries.
• Self‑directed and comfortable with ambiguity; you take initiative rather than waiting for direction.
• Clear communicator who documents work and collaborates well with engineering teams.

Nice to Have

• Experience in a regulated manufacturing environment (medical device, ISO 9001, ISO 13485).
• Familiarity with test equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies) for bring‑up and debug.

KPIs (Success Measures)

• Turnaround time on PCBA rework and repair requests, from intake to functional sign‑off.
• Root‑cause investigation cycle time and repeat‑failure rate on previously repaired units.
• Build quality and first‑pass yield on electro‑mechanical assemblies and wiring harnesses.
• Uptime and responsiveness on manufacturing equipment installs and support requests.
• Quality and completeness of documentation (work instructions, corrective actions, maintenance logs).

Authority & Decision Rights

• Authority to triage and prioritize hands‑on rework, repair, and bring‑up work using independent judgment.
• Ability to flag and elevate systemic hardware issues or equipment risks to engineering leadership.
• Input on repair vs. replace decisions for faulty units and subassemblies.
• Authority to pause or flag builds when quality or safety standards are not met.

Key Relationships

• Hardware Engineering: partner on bring‑up, debug, and validation of new systems and revisions.
• Mechanical Engineering: collaborate on electro‑mechanical assembly and integration.
• Software Engineering: coordinate on faults that cross electrical/software boundaries.
• Manufacturing / Production: support equipment install, setup, and ongoing floor operations.
• Work location: Burlington, MA (on‑site)

Salary Range:

$50,000 – $100,000 (depending on experience)

• 401K
• Health Insurance
• Vision Insurance
• Health Savings Account
• Health Flexible Savings Account
• Dependent Care Flexible Savings Account
• Life Insurance
• Paid Time Off
• 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. soldering, cable crimping.
• 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, and enjoys tracing a problem across mechanical, electrical, and software boundaries until it’s actually fixed. The ideal candidate is a hands‑on builder who documents their work, communicates clearly with engineering partners, and takes pride in the craftsmanship of every system they touch.

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.
