Engineer, Rewarming Systems

One of the key unsolved challenges in cryopreservation is the rewarming problem: how do we rapidly and uniformly rewarm whole organs and, ultimately, whole bodies to restart cryopreserved biology? Our high-power rewarming platform generates tens of kA/m at MHz frequencies, but that power only matters if it deposits the right amount of heat in the right places inside a vitrified organ. That happens at the interface between the platform and the biological sample, and this role owns it.

We are looking for fast-moving, hands-on engineers and physicists with strong fundamentals, high autonomy, and a desire to build technology that feels impossible until it works. This role is for someone who is as comfortable deriving a back-of-the-envelope model from electromagnetics, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer as they are building hardware and running experiments with real organs in the lab.

• Design, build, and operate the hardware and software linking the rewarming system and the organ: holders, fluidic circuits, sensing, control, and data acquisition.
