Job summary

NVision Imaging Technologies is seeking an experienced instrumentation engineer to lead the development of advanced scientific instruments from concept to validated prototype.

The role requires a Master’s in engineering and 4+ years of hands-on experience in complex fluidic systems, with a track record of delivering end-to-end instruments and leading multidisciplinary teams. Relocation assistance and stock options are available.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in engineering with 4+ years experience building scientific or experimental instrumentation and designing complex fluidic systems.
• Proven track record of developing an instrument from initial concept through design, assembly and functional testing.
• Experience leading multidisciplinary engineering projects translating performance requirements into a fully working instrument.
• Strong understanding of physical engineering principles and the ability to evaluate design feasibility, identify technical constraints and make informed trade-offs.
• Hands-on approach to prototyping and experimentation.

Responsibilities

• Develop complete scientific instruments and prototypes, from initial concept through engineering design, assembly, integration and functional operation.
• Translate scientific performance requirements into engineering solutions, identifying physical constraints, technical risks and design trade-offs.
• Own the integrated engineering concept, ensuring that mechanical, fluidic, electrical, software and automation subsystems work together.
• Collaborate with scientists to evaluate system performance, interpreting experimental results, identifying engineering limitations and iteratively improving the instrument.
• Adapt and evolve existing instrumentation for new experimental applications, evaluating whether reconfiguration, substantial redesign or a new system offers the best solution.
• Work hands-on with prototypes, contributing to assembly, commissioning, troubleshooting during development and design verification.
