**Project Overview**:
This project aims to develop a real-time blood analysis and diagnostic platform using an integrated microfluidic chip. This platform uses precision microfluidic technology to process and profile the biological activity of white blood cells which is related to a host of inflammatory conditions ranging from diabetes, sepsis to leukemia. The platform developed will enable point-of-care diagnosis of diseases and this project will accelerate the platform from bench to bedside through the development, deployment and testing of clinical samples.

This Engineering position offers a rare opportunity to bridge the gap between laboratory discovery of new technologies and real-world implementation of clinical deployment and testing.

**Responsibilities**:
The engineer is responsible for the design, prototype, manufacturing and testing of the medical device. This involves the use of with computer-aided design prototyping, setting specifications and assembly of mechnical/electrical components, testing and deployment of device for field testing.

Responsibilties include:

- To work closely with a team of clinical, mechanical/software engineers and data scientist for the medical device design and prototyping. Gather feedbacks on prototype designs by end-users.
- To Validate designs by analysing data gathered from component or system level testing. Use benchmarking techniques to characterise component and device performance.
- To ensure proper documentation of design history files and standardization of data storage for reports, presentations, technical and administrative documents.
- To source for vendors and components to ensure manufacturability and cost of medical device.
- To support the team for maintenance of equipment, inventory and purchases.

**Requirements**:

- Bachelors/Masters or Ph.D. in Mechanical, Electrical, Biomedical Engineering, or a relevant field with experience developing and supporting embedded systems.
- Minimum Bachelor's or Master's degree with 2+ years of work experience or Ph.D. with 0+ years of experience.
