○Principles of chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, tissue engineering, or biochemistry

○Chemical modification of tissue engineered scaffolds, hydrogels, and extracellular matrices

○Mechanical and chemical characterization techniques

○Molecular biology techniques

○Histology and Immunohistochemistry

○Imaging – brightfield, confocal, and scanning electron microscopy

○Embryo development and gestational biology

Education and Experience:

●Bachelor's Degree from an ABET-accredited program in engineering-related fields such as biomedical, chemical, biomaterials, etc. chemistry-related fields such as biochemistry, chemistry, etc.

●6+ years of industry or highly applied experience developing biomedical devices or embryo culture systems (MS may substitute for 2 years of experience, PhD may substitute for 4 years of experience)

●Minimum of 8 years of highly applied experience in Duties and Requirements.

●Proven track record of translating biological requirements into device or device-system design

Physical Requirements:

●Sit and/or stand for long periods performing technical experiments and/or office-related tasks
