Microfluidics and MEMS Engineer

Disease detection through smell? That’s right. With every breath, we release a health snapshot right into the air. This is the body’s hidden language, and up until now, it’s gone unnoticed. We're changing that. Inspired by nature and with a boost from NASA, we’ve developed the world’s first fully-integrated diagnostic breathalyzer. It’s capable of decoding these health signals in real-time and at any point-of-care. We’re bringing the sense of smell to the forefront of medicine and welcoming a new era of healthcare. This role offers an exciting opportunity to work at the forefront of medical device technology, contributing to innovative diagnostic solutions. The ideal candidate will blend technical expertise with a passion for quality and reliability in healthcare technology.

Here’s exactly who thrives at Noze:

• Aligned. This is the place for go-getters who are ambitious. We value visionaries who are all in for exponential growth and committed to making a big impact.
• Collaborative. We believe success is a team sport. Our people thrive on collaboration, embrace feedback, and are committed to continuous improvement.
• Driven. We're not the kind to wait for directions—we take the initiative and push projects forward. We are high performers who are proactive, own their work, and consistently strive for excellence.

Who You Are:

As a passionate and skilled Microfluidic Systems Engineer at Noze, you’ll help usher in a new era of breath-based diagnostics by designing and developing robust, novel thin-film integrated microfluidic systems that power our DiagNoze platform. As an ideal candidate, you will have hands-on experience in both the design and development of microfluidic systems, including the integration of thin-film technologies, and a strong ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless system performance. You will drive the development of cutting-edge products that digitize the sense of smell, contributing to a transformative shift in diagnostic technology.

Your expertise in microfluidic systems and analytical thinking enables holistic system development, while your creativity drives innovative and data-driven solutions.
